Pooran 2 rank full tosses - 2 sixes

Stoinis - 1  rank full toss - 1 six

De Kock - 1 rank full toss - 1 six

MSD Dhoni - 3 rank full tosses - 2 sixes and 1 four

Jadeja - 9 full tosses - 0 fours 0 sixes  1 dot

 

I think high time Indian selectors asking every  batsman to hit full tosses and see how long they can hit.

Kohli is a safety first guy anyways. Even if he is capable he won't attempt. Rohit is one guy who handles full tosses okay. Sometimes you need brute power to meet the full tosses. None of our guys have that power. SUrprisingly DK actually hits full tosses for six well because of the position he gets himself into. Worst guy is Jadeja handsdown

Remember how he gave catching practice to Bairstow off a full toss when we were in a very precarious situation in the 4rth test. This guy is very cunning. He always plays for notouts.

a left hander having trouble hitting full tosses is really hard to fathom.you can literally pick a spot and atleast get a four.

Jadeja looses balance which caused him to not hit them. His batting has this weakness from beginning.

Good call. What should have landed in the stands ended up in the inner circle

Yea. If you look at Jaiswal against Anderson he expected a yorker and converted it into a full toss and swept his full toss for six.

Jaddu even got out to a full toss in Ranchi Test during a tense chase.

Not cunning. He just doesn't have the technique or power to hit a full toss... he was never really T20 material but we kept selecting him.

yeah, he's a test player. should not play T20s for sure, and even presence in ODIs should be restricted

You don't need any special technique to hit Full tosses. They are the easiest balls to maximize run scoring especially in death overs. Even amateur and gully cricketers eyes lit up when they see full tosses. His primary instinct has always been to preserve his wicket at any cost even at the expense of his team. This kind of thinking has served him well in test cricket.

Lot of our batsman suck at full tosses might as well bowl all 20 overs and still keep them under 180.:facepalm:.

 

days when yuvi used to send them to orbit, dhoni sending em to mars and sachin smashing them. Now full tosses for our batsmen are like perfect yorkers

Full tosses get lot of wickets too. Yesterday Jitesh got out on one.

 

Batsman gets surprised and tries to overhit
