A criminal waste of batting talent


Lord

Recommended Posts

when analysing the t20 failure, i talked about how the team is heavily dependent on three players outside asia. the only real senior is yuvraj.other mid seniors are gambhir and dhoni.karthik so-so. Right now,gambhir is absent from the party.dhoni is doing better in the one day version.but still heavy dependency on yuvraj is there. In this situation, playing both yusuf(a non specialist) and jadeja(raw talent) is foolish and counter productive, with options like vijay,uthappa,nayar, these guys need to be given chances to find their feet.they are improtant for te future. jadeja can come back with one or two more year of experience.he is right now not at all ready to make an impact. ofcourse all new guys will struggle in these alien conditions.but its ebtter to err on proper batsmen than going with a squad threading on thin ice. when wickets fall early due to swinging conditions or there is a huge chase like 300+, this weakness will be ripped open. it was obvious with 80-8 yesterday.or in the t20 failures. dhoni has to plug this gap.or i don't know how many more matches we are going to lose. ps-i am reposting it as originally there was a disconnection timeout.

Relax dude,this is a second string team.Once Sehwag,Sachin,Raina return we'll start winning again.as u said.batting depends almost entirely on Yuvrraj.Gambhir has lost form at wrong time.almost everything is against us.

infact i am glad that others are getting the chance in absence of sehwag and tendulkar.but it cannot be yusuf and jadeja. it has to be proper specialist batsmen.
Yusuf is a proper specialist batsman.he is aggresive but not a slogger.nthis is ODI cricket.we need allrounders n batsmen who can step on the gas. unfortunately we dont have many options atm in Domestic cricket

not quite. specialist batsmen have a stronger defence,better game and better biomehanics. i can evaluate a batsman's defence since i was well coached. he is not as loose as afridi but not as reliable as the specialists either.

well he doesnt have stronger defence coz he doesnt rely on it.he is an attacking player.even Yuvraj doesnt have a strong defence.isnt he a specialist batsman? Give him time,nobody(except SRT) is a finished product as soom as he walks into international cricket.he'll get better

he doesn't have a strong defence because he is no better. you either have it or you don't. yuvraj does have a stronger defence than the allrounders.

Yusuf's defence is not that bad,its still pretty good.i dont think Yuvraj's defence is much stronger.n it certainly was no better than Yusuf wen Yuvraj came onto the scene.give Yusuf some time
