It has nothing to do with attitude problem.

There were also reports that he wanted the captaincy of Rajasthan Royals and he was not happy when Parag was appointed captain.

That particular ball is always tough to negotiate for a left hander when it lands well. This is why i am pissed off at his other mode of dismissals. 

he needs to see o the new ball,that is primary job..

Sehwag averaged 29 in England. So no.

 

Sehwag averaged 40 on his first tour of England in 2002, and 10 in 2011 before he retired. During the same period, he toured Australia 4 times and averaged 47. Between 2003-2010 averaged 57 (60+ three of those years) and did not tour England. His sample size of 6 tests matches in England is too small and inconclusive.

Even in his bad form, a series in which he is struggling, somehow he has still managed to score a 100 and 2 * 50's. The runs haven't dried for him completely although it is not what we are used to see him score. India needs more batsmen like him.

Needs to get his head back on Cricket, right now looks like he has more allegiance towards England .

So a man can't have a foreign GF? 

 

What does this picture convey? I am confused. Looks like some close people having a good time, maybe from some private SM account. 

 

Earlier you wanted him to go back to selling pani puris. 

 

Talking about allegiance towards England, how about this? Yashasvi Jaiswal completes 1000 Test runs against England, not bad for someone the same age as a 4th year UG student.

All young prospects are finding it difficult in their 2nd or 3rd seasons. Rachin, Jaiswal, Kamindu, Green. Gill also had a lull for few years post his impressive BGT debut. Part and parcel of the game, you make waves when opponents don't know your game enough, then they dissect your strengths/weaknesses, make suitable counter plans, after which either the prodigy sinks (a la Labu) or survives by adapting. 

 

Brook is an exception but he skipped 2024 India tour which would have been a real test for him. He has major issues against spin, was a walking wicket in Pak the moment they abandoned their highways.....Ashes will also reveal more.

Rohit as opener and no fixed opening partner.

 

Pujara, Kohli and Rahane as middle over during the last 5 years.

 

And we had the recipe for top order failure way too often. Gill with some promises also joined the party with them. 

 

From 2020 to 2024 there was no confidence in our batting unit. 

 

Arrival of Jaiswal, KL taking spot at top and Gill settling at 4 feels way better. I don't worry about some failures of Jaiswal. 

 

We now need to nail the critical no.3 spot 

 

Sundar can bat 5 as needed but we need a VVS type at no.5 and Sundar replaces Jadeja floating spot long term. Floating 5 to 7 and no lower.

 

This means Pant bats at No.6 which is better for him. 

 

Get rid of trying ro revive 33-35 year old like Karun Nair and Thakur.

Still, Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored 377 runs at average of 41.88 this series and he isn't even at his best. Opening is tougher, especially in England. So this average carries more weightage imo. 

[putrevus]

Jaiswal is still the best batsman on this team.Fearlessness is the most important attribute which Jaiswal has unlike many youngsters and older guys.

 

He is a matchwinner and he should be playing for India in all formats including t20s.

cover drive is like drink & drive in Eng.. you never know when you will get caught especially when the ball is new.

[cricspirit]

Still ended up scoring 400 runs with 2 centuries in a series where he looks like not doing well.

 

Missed during some key moments which hurt Indias chances in the series.

[Gollum]

100 in the toughest conditions, in the most important innings of this series. 

[Lord]

Looks like he reads ICF

[DeepSpace]

He is a superstar. If he can just curb his instincts sometimes and not get carried away (shot selection), he can be a better batter than Sehwag, most definitely in SENA. He has better technique than Sehwag. 

[Lord]

One great thing about is his conversion rate. Most 50s converted to tons. 

 

Just needs to start well 

[Gollum]

Opening is the toughest spot to fill in test cricket. Many ATGs from middle order, including all GOAT contenders, statistical marvels. For most test playing nations, you can name more ATG pacers than ATG openers.

 

There is a reason best batsmen don't prefer that spot....Smith tried his hand last year but flopped.

 

If Jaiswal acts selfish, entitled, he can move to middle order and challenge many record. But plenty of candidates for that.

He can be a lethal combination of Graeme Smith and Sehwag. Like former against seam/swing and in SENA, like latter against spin and in SC. Clutchness and grit of Smith, destructive firepower and flair of Viru. Sahi bola @maniac?

His game is more suited for middle order tbh, especially in SENA. Will be a giant there at 4.

 

At opening, he is likely to end up slightly better version of Sehwag

Stats never do justice to openers. So few 50+ averaging openers in the history of cricket. Even Gavaskar barely touched 50, he retired at the right time, and made merry against Packer rejects for 2-3 seasons....still just over 50 

 

Also huge mental toll, they don't have longevity, once there is dip in their hand-eye, it is over for them. Viru, Hayden, Warner could have extended their career for 2 more years in middle order.....Cook had Sachin's record in sight but retired at 33-34, you'll see Root playing till late 30s at least.

In evens out in the long run, openers also get the first crack and long enough time on flat pitches and against halwa bowlers. Hayden would have never scored 380 against Zimbabwe if he was middle order batsman. Jaiswal will have much better chances to score double centuries, compared to Pant. Hope he cashes in, in the sri lankan tour
