Shubman Gill : Just too many weaknesses ?

[Lone Wolf]

Gill's backfoot game will help him in Australia.

That being said if Aussies prepare seaming tracks like they have been doing off late ... His front foot issue is still there.

 

England's conditions have eased out a bit thanks to a poor Duke's ball & surfaces prepared by key and Baz so there is hope for him.

England bowling is quite weak without Broaderson.

Yes but Indians have a history to make mediocre bowlers look World class like Sam Curran..

That being said not having Anderson is a huge sigh of relief.  He used to expose even tiniest of our weakness in batting. 

We can win in England but hoping we arrive there with some confidence & a WTC title.

Apart frm Ind and Aus gill hardly has avg, of 20, last time in Aus they bowled him short and at that time it looked like he does not have obvious weakness against short-ball.

But rest of his game is v.doubtful even in Ind he does not look that comfortable.

 

The problem is he lacks power game for t20s and solid technique fr Test, how can he improve those simultaneously ?? 

And these days a batter in top3 can easily average in 50 in Odis playing those meaningless innings

His dealing against incoming deliveries is still suspect. He goes with hard hands

He's predominantly a bottom handed player from whatever I've seen.

 

Too much hype in ICF

Failed in 4 innings of WTC finals. Even one good innings would have helped us

Kohli, pujara both are bottom handed players.

[putrevus]

Sehwag was a walking wicket in SENA, Laxman had trouble with incoming deliveries from both spin and fast bowlers.Dravid could play a shot to even rotate strike and had issues facing real pace.

 

No batsman is perfect. Gill has issues , good thing is he knows it too.He is willing to work on his issues.That is all anyone can ask from young player.He is willing to do hard yards to get better in all formats.

 

He has started well this season, let us see where he ends up after these 10 tests.

Relevance to my post?

 

Both test careers are prolonged by more than 3 years atleast

[putrevus]

Tendulkar prolonged his career  by more than a decade.

[vvvslaxman]

In Asian conditions 29 dismissals   5 bowleds 8 leg befores.   6 leg befores against spinners

[Frustrated]

Earlier this year at home,  he played one or two decent knocks against a below par Eng bowling line up(which is now getting thrashed by Pak).  Apart from that, his test career paints a sorry picture.  An avg of 35 after having played 50+ innings as a specialist top order batsman.  Thats Kela level.   Even Rahane had a better avg before the start of his downfall.  

[Frustrated]

Olie Pope has a batting avg similar to that of Gill.  He shows flashes of brillance followed by a string of low scores.   Eng media is now going after Pope.   They hv started a campaign to drop him ASAP.   Hope Gill doesn't meet the same fate.  

[Frustrated]

Garbage batter like Thakela.  Ind would continue to get thrashed at home and abroad with such players.  

[Number]

Looked totally helpless against Santner. Was getting beaten every ball that turned away, got hit on pads many times when it was straight. 

[vvvslaxman]

Mayank Agarwal type of batsmen should be played here. India has to seriously consider having a separate team for home conditions.

Lmao. He is a useless player. 

[Kothili]

Gill is no more than a poster boy. Barely makes 20s 30s in Tests. North zone mafia is keeping him afloat.

Is this guy a *ing serious cricketer ?

Chasing the hard new swinging balls at Gabba.

This idiot is not the answer to anything.
