Gill series runs watch thread


Recommended Posts

Hv to admit, the pitches hv been flat.  But still this is some effort by Gill.  Scoring almost 500 runs in one test match is not a joke.  Hopefully he leads by example in this test and for rest of the series.    Well Done:two_thumbs_up:

Just missed by 26 runs. 

 

Gooch- 456 

Gill- 430 

Mark Taylor- 426 

Sangakkara- 424 

Lara- 400

 

He can still target Gavaskar's 774 in a series. Easily.

Can he break Bradman's record of 974 runs in a series?

He needs to average 65 in next three matches. Bradman's record is still very safe.

500+ runs in 2 tests is a crazy achievement, kudos. 

 

Ok pitches are flat, but not the first instance. Similar to Kohli's 2014-15 BGT tour, there also pitches were super flat.

6 innings 389 runs, not impossible if the pitches remain batting friendly.

And Kohli was hyped to the moon then. Can't dismiss this effort by Gill

I hope era of superstars is over. Don't want more PR monsters like Ro, Ko to emerge. Let us move towards hyping team results rather than individual achievements. 

 

But yes, Gill's runs will be remembered for a long time. More importantly hope this takes his game to another level for next few years and that confidence also rubs off on his captaincy.

BRat was an establishment candidate, which tbf Gill's as well but not to the same extent. No other player would've remained in our test team post the 2014 duckathon vs Eng, but he was the chosen one so :ohwell:
