Pant has all the skills leveling with Tendulkar but match awareness of Arshdeep

[Trichromatic]

He lost the game.

[Lord]

yes thats how he did well in Gabba, Sydney,Cape Town etc and even here first dig.

 

Just skills

[DeepSpace]

yep, I have never seen a gifted player throw his wicket like that!

[Autonomous]

Think he batted well in 1st inns

[putrevus]

I think we have to take good Pant with bad Pant.

 

Similar stumping was missed by Tim Paine both in Sydney and Gabba.

India was in driver's seat, he was allowed to play his game. He charged to pat Cummins in first innings when we were four down for nothing

Luckily, his casual way of gifting the wicket has not cost us the game.  But his lack of match awareness should be criticized.  Especially coz he is such a game changer in this format of the game.

Yes, mostly skills.

 

His batting v spin was superior at Sydney. Gabba had contributions from many other players and it was one of the greatest team performance. Pant didn't win it alone.

[Number]

Remember same thing he did in WTC 2021 Finals. Had he batted 30 minutes more, we would have drawn the game and had shared an ICC trophy.

He is game changer due to similar approach only

 

Here we were in comfortable position and he tried to go in extra gear. That is good awareness but poor execution only. 

 

In tight situations like 50-4 our top order gets into regularly, he plays differently.

His batting v spin hasnt deteriorated at all. Just that he took extra risk today due to comfortable position.

 

Gabba he steered the chase from a tough situation . Cant be done without match awareness.

What a reactionary post, india were in a very comfortable position and it was the perfect time to hit the accelerator with lots of batting to come

 

He has played according to situation a million times in tests

Some people are incredibly reactionary. Sachin used to dance down to the spinners like Murali and Warne even first ball in many situations to hit them for 6.

350+ lead with huge lots of batting to come is not the time to hit out?

 

Man you guys are phattus. I remember you guys cursing and begging for draw when Pant was trying for a win at Gabba

 

Thank god this team is not phattu like you guys and is going for win

 

We literally got 3 wickets because we declared today instead of tomorrow while you guys would be begging to bat till tomorrow.

Yes here execution was poor thats it. Its not as if he did that at 90-5. We were in comfortable situation

Actually I would say Pant's offside game is a bit lacking for an elite test player (think sanga/lara). If he played with caution, he would have been a decent batsman but it's his guts thats pushing him into the elite league. Whenever opposition dries up his runs by packing the slips and bowling off stump channel, he plays some outrageous shot and upsets their plan instead of meekly driving the ball into the slips

Well, your post does make sense.  It would have made more sense if u stop resorting to cheap/dirty tactics of troll voting someone's post. Especially when that post is appreciating your fav player.
