Dhawan is not good enough, why has he been picked?


Recommended Posts

ANyways back to the topic' date='so let me get this straight are you saying it is Rohit's fault that Dhawan has been failing?[/quote'] no,more the bowler's fault ofcourse for conceding huge score Rohit-Dhawan is a great partnership.Rohit normally takes his time while Dhawan starts attackiang from the start.In these conditions both need to be little cautious but with huge scores thats not possible.Dhawan has the role of aggressor in such scenarios so its tough to judge him on these thats why I said we need to see how they go batting first or chasing around 240-250

2 freaking ODIs is all it takes for being written off!! lol
He is a good batsman. But he has this impulsive nature of trying to dominate bowling without respecting conditions and quality. In slightly favorable conditions for bowling , nothing wrong with taking a bit of time.

Vijay and Dhawan both are technically weak. And against these pacers on fast pitches, disaster is waiting to happen... unless Dhawan can be told to wait out 1st hour... Dhawan seems like a new version of Veeru... attack at all time.. he gotta be in Warner mode.. balanced attack..

Dhawan showed a lot of restraint early on in England. In general the Indian batting/bowling look clueless on this tour, they've come unprepared as to how they have to approach batting/bowling. You just cant replicate the kind of game you play in SC over here. Good thing though the tests are yet to come and they can still get their lengths right and also game plan with regards to batting.

ya. Opening is very very tough job. See what Alistair cook is doing once he is up against a different kind of challenge. He is looking clueless, thinking is scrambled. Dhawan and Vijay are going to face an attack that is better than Australian bowling attack given the SA conditions. They have to take their time.

We should give them all a bit more time. They had no chance to get used to the SAF conditions. In the last match, Dhawan played a rash shot though, but it happens occasionally. Let's give them time till the end of the test series to form an opinion about their overseas prowess.

He has gotten slow. I am not worried with his strike rate today, since I know he does fine on that most of the time, but his purple match seem to have ended and he is having hard time to stay on the crease and score a fifty. He is getting out in 30s. He is getting start every game and getting out in 30s then. Today he tried somethign new. He tried to have a slow start which was being too negative. He thought solution to improve on that consistent 30s is to try slow, that's not the right way. He should play the way he does. He is atleast getting to 30s. He needs to concentrate on not palying crap shots and giving opposition a chance to claim a catch etc.

Really worried about this lad Made me eat humblde pie and starte to love him But know seems to have lost the plot and looks like has forgotten how to bat. Today was awful knock. Gone back to being tree feller

in ipl, he scores really fast sometimes. thing with dhawan is that you never get the same two innings. he'll score fast one day and slow the next, be fluid and dominant or fluid and flukey. He needs to be more consistent but he's a key player. Warner was struggling in 2013 and look at him now, dhawan should be able to score in a more dominant way very soon. Hard worker and has won matches for india. Back him!

Agree would continue with him Maybe reassess after England tour

AGree with TP1's post ....Dhawan can look like a typical Boom Boom Paki player one day and then play a classy elegant test innings. I have a feeling he will do well in England though,but Aus and SA will be his reall challenges

His main problem with the short ball is that he hits it upwards instead of horizontally - when he pulls horizontally he is on form. Maybe he should step out the crease a bit to get at it early? This can also negate some swing if there is any

When was Dhawan fluid the last time? He is one of those big risk players who'll always give you chances... its on other team to grab it.. Ozzies will get him in a jiffy..

We need to persist with him. He just seems low on confidence' date=' [b']nothing wrong with his game.

probably champions trophy/tri series? he was mostly hitting 4s that hit the ground early then raced to the boundary. less risk. his issue is unneccesarily creating risks, like the tilted pull shot that got him out in todays match v pak
