CSK Fan Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 As most will know, I have always been an advocator of Praveen in tests. This thread is to keep a tab on his performances First test - a very decent performance, could have got more wickets if he wasnt barred 3/38
Ultimate_Game Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Good start no doubt. Hope he continues in a similar vein.
cowboysfan Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Getting banned for an innings bothers me,i hope its correctable.
Ultimate_Game Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Getting banned for an innings bothers me' date='i hope its correctable.[/quote'] One thing I find extremely strange is that PK was running into the danger zone by a huge margin - he was literally standing in front of umpire on his follow through yet he has never before been warned in an odi! Does that mean he changed his run-up and follow through just for Tests? If not how come he got away in odis? Either way a strange case.
vvvslaxman Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Getting banned for an innings bothers me' date='i hope its correctable.[/quote'] I hope it is one of those freak moments. According to Arunlal he never got such problem in domestic cricket. And also in one dayers he never got warned.
Fontaine Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Swung the ball both ways, beat the bat numerous times and picked up three middle order wickets and kept the runs down at the same time. He was getting good swing even past the 30th over and looking at Edwards/Rampaul they're barely getting any swing. Real quality stuff.

He aint test quality
1983-2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 some people will still hate him because he bowls at 120kph because they want phahassst ballers, obsessed like pakis

If he keeps on taking wkts ppl would be least bothered how he takes them or what pace he bowls. Sports, like anything else, is result driven.
Fontaine Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 PK isn't suited to all test pitches. In Lankan/Indian pitches he would be cannon fodder but in these conditions he's an ideal bowler.

Cricket Tragic Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 It's a good start to his career. Not taking anything away from him but let's wait and see how he does against better opposition.
CoverDrive Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 he got well set batsmen out and got the wicket of barath who was playing well. Whats more he created the wickets and was not gifted
rkt.india Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 He did amazingly well considering his first test,, though not the greatest batting side, Keep it up PK.
ganeshran Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 He needs to fix his technical problem of running on the pitch. Its strange since I have never seen him do it this often before.
gakgupta Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 He was amazing yesterday. ON the flat pitches, he will be a first spell bowler. Luv to see him more. I always believe that, he can be a good lower order batsman. Unlike ODI's, where overs are limited, he can get sometime time to bat in tests
Karan114 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Started well but getting banned for running onto the pitch despite previous warnings was a real let down. Hopefully he can correct it. Otherwise a good start to his Test career. Didn't strike with the new ball and then fade away as might have been expected, instead was actually more effective with the older ball, which is a good sign.
saneindian Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 This guy is a workhorse. Have seen him bowl 10-12 over long spells in domestic cricket without bowling a loose ball. Best thing with him is he is a thinking bowler and knows how to set up batsmen. As he plays more test cricket, I have a feeling his pace will also go up and if he starts hitting 80 mph or thereabouts regularly, he will be a damn good test match bowler for us. Too many experts have over exaggerated his struggles with old ball which IMO is a myth. PK will shatter that myth as he plays more, yesterday was just a start.
Sidhoni Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Was brilliant given that it was his first test :good: But being banned :headshake:
