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


Recommended Posts

Bizzare thread. Pant was the best Indian batsman by far in the first innings facing very challenging conditions and has stood up many times before.  Reddy got some nice runs against Lyon etc but it was Pant who withstood the seam and swing of the top Aussie bowlers. He misfired today but that didn't really matter in the wider scheme of things as the team was comfortably positioned.

The best batter was Nitish/KL in the first innings.

KL definitely was a candidate and was unlucky. He too faced the toughest conditions with the hard ball. Nitish top scored but played the majority of his innings after the ball had got softer and scored a lot of his runs against Lyon who was unthreatening at that stage in the match.

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. 

For me, Troll voting is for posts which makes no sense.

Lost the game when what 350 runs in the lead and looking to accelerate? ... Cmon it's a poorly timed thread

 

Well, the Indian bowlers (led by Bumrah) could not defend 375 against Eng in the 4th inning of the 5th test (Played in 2022). Eng chased the target comfortably with 7 wickets left. 

 

Now that our bowlers have picked up early wickets, most of the Ind fans here are very happy.  Imagine if Aus would hv been 50/0 at the end of day's play, the same posters would hv blamed pant for the way he threw his wicket.

Nah bowlers should be defending that score. Pant got out to a reverse sweep that game but no one blamed him. This was much better position

I would say the opposite, he showed good match awareness and tried to up the tempo but he overestimated his skill level and fell short.

 

His courage hides his technical flaws. 

lack of execution thats it

Skill wise I put him next to Tendulkar.

No one can ever match Tendulkar’s skill. He played over 20 years facing all types of bowlers from the age of 16 on every kind of track in test matches, all over the world, and succeded against most of them if not all of them.

 

Some skilled players are once in a generarion in each sport. They might not win everything or hold every recoed, but skill wise they are cut above the rest. 
 

Tendulkar is that for cricket - Most complete player the game has ever seen.

 

Feder is that for Tennis  - Most complete player in Tennis.

Actually Pant's keeping was top class in quick, bouncy conditions and he batted really well under pressure in the first innings ( like he did in Mumbai in totally different conditions). Amazing physical recovery from that accident. At the start of this year it wasn't even clear if he could walk normally. I never expected him to get back to his normal level in both skills so quickly. Seems like a very mentally strong character despite the jovial personality.

Lyon played on his ego. He knew he was going to charge him and clearly you could see the keeper was ready. He was stumped to a wide ball means keeper and bowler were in on it. Luckily no damage but that could have been bad for India as we are known to collapse from such situations.
