ViruRulez Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 He is no slogger. His shots are no way of a slogger. I would like to see more of this kid. Hope he joins Mumbai Ranji squad this year and if he has talent he should make it to the next condenters to the national team. The guy plays proper cricket shots and is no way a slogger. Awesome shots and awesome hitting.
Ultimate_Game Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 The chap's on fire today along with Gilly... have to feel for Warne and Royals :giggle:
kooljatt Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 :omg: This guy is immense talent ! Can't believe he hasn't played that much in Ranji or list a matches !
Misu243 Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Yusuf's spot in Team India is certainly at risk here..
nitinbwj Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Damn..those sixes were huge..and what timing..real dynamo this valthaty
fineleg Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 At one point of time, people thought Manish Pandey will be a great batsman, but he turned out to be more of a cowlasher (for now at least, lets give him benefit of doubt for the future). Is Valthaty a proper batsman or a cowlasher like Pandey? (catch dropped now, gets life)
The Rock Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I've really liked watching Valthaty play. Sure he has slogged time to time, but then which batsmen hasn't in IPL?
Ultimate_Game Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Yusuf's spot in Team India is certainly at risk here.. Not really, Valthaty should replace Sehwag for T20s as an opener and not take no. 6 or 7 spot.
ViruRulez Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Temperament missing and somewhat brainfart like YP. He tries to play shots even when there is no need. The RR was very high and they were cruising and still he went on with slogs in the middle overs. He has got talent but temperament is missing and unless he changes his temperament he will become a cowlasher rather than making it big.

He has got talent but temperament is missing and unless he changes his temperament he will become a cowlasher rather than making it big. Temperment will come once he gets to play for India. Plus remember this is T20...he needs to keep going for the shots. ODI should be a better judgement for him...when he can settledown after a dashing start.
King Tendulkar Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 If selectors pick jokers like valthaty they need shooting

ODI should be a better judgement for him...when he can settledown after a dashing start. I agree. Hope he is a regular in the Mumbai domestic team now. I would like to see him play at domestic level in order to judge him and then if possible in our A team for an overseas series.
fineleg Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Temperament and shot selection is key. He needs to develop both.
Prakat Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Piss on the selectors for not nurturing talent like this. His innings are modelled for the format. And looks to be part of a larger team strategy while batting, and not necessarily a personal flaw.
vvvslaxman Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Temperament and shot selection is key. He needs to develop both. Yea.. that is missing. But my guess is he is simply following Gilly's instructions to a T.
asterix Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 At his age, I don't think he has any realistic chance to break into the Indian team. I think he is purely concentrating to up his IPL value..By the end of 6 years of IPL, he can easly retire from cricket..
gult Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Don't brand me racist, but his last name makes me wonder if his origins are from Kerala. Agreed, he was born and brought up in Mumbai, but his family might be based off Kerala. This particular thought was given more ground when he reserved a 'special hug' for Abhishek Nayar amongst all his team-mates. Nayar as we know is a famous Malayalee last name, and he too was based off Mumbai... EDIT: I did want to look up about this on Wikipedia, but apparently the dude isn't that famous enough to warrant a Wikipedia entry yet.. :P His profile is now on wikipedia. He's originally from andhra http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Valthaty
