Well' date=' that is not a 100% true. He was pretty inconsistent when he first came in. His shot selection wasn’t always the best. It was only during the ODI tournament in B’desh earlier this year that he really started performing at a consistent level.[/quote'] Inconsistent is the last term you can use to describe someone whose batting average never dropped below 30 after his 4th ODI and 35 after his 9th ODI. And those initial ODIs were in the low scoring series in Sri Lanka during 2008.

Exactly i would like to say. Guy used to still average around 40s when he was sitting out of the team. He had also scored a ton against Sri Lanka at Kolkata during 300 run chase and was dropped even after that very easily

[Laaloo]

I've been his fan since the U/19 world cup days. Him and Pradeep Sangwan to be precise.

‘Inconsistent’ not in the sense that his scores were up and down, but he failed to convert many of good starts. He would frequently get out due to an impulse of indiscretion. I am pretty sure you’ll agree with the B’desh tournament earlier this year was pretty much when he really started raking in those big scores you’d expect from a higher middle order bat. P.S; He actually did pretty well in the Lanka series 2008, where he opened I think. While most of the Indian batsmen were still flummoxed by Mendis, he came in for the ODI series and straight-away started handling him well.

Well played Virat :good:

Replace Viru with Virat in ODI. Viru doesnt score big runs in ODI. So Sachin & Gauti as openers Virat at 1 down

No 4.

[Lord]

with Virat in such great form,we can seriously consider playing 7 bats in WC,Yuvi can do what Jaddu has been doing,or we can play 2 seamers n 2 spinners considering Ashwin is adapt in bowling in PP

Another 50 for fun today :D

[King Tendulkar]

Yeah kiwis are weak. But boy was he class again!

[jusarrived]

his avg is ~50 again . there never a doubt about his class , but the maturity hes showing for his age is very rare .

[putrevus]

will the opinions change if he fails in SA odi series

[Sachin=GOD]

will the opinions change if he fails in SA odi series

at least some will definitely change. People have very short memory, they will forget his recent good performances if he fails in just 1 series :((

[jusarrived]

will the opinions change if he fails in SA odi series

no , it shouldn't . if he fails , it would be just form ..the guy is class & has the best techniques of all the youngsters around .

[Sachin=GOD]

Bump!! A brilliant 100 on his World Cup debut. :congrats:

[achilles]

Tremendous knock. Justifies his selection with this knock. :isalute:
