If u have heard aussie selectors, they have always selected and looked up for characters, strong characters. U won't find a shy or a guy who is not confident of himself representing australia.

If he wasn't confident, he wouldn't get 7-fers or 100s. Who do you see acting out more? Sreesanth or Dhoni?
Jersey #10 Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 From what i have heard' date=' he is a shy, calm dude, if he can get rid of his shyness, than i am sure he can represent india. We need characters, strong characters to withstand the pressure of playing for india.[/quote'] What do you smoke?
Laaloo Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 What do you smoke? apparently oysters with his dad's permission of course :cantstop:

Who do you see acting out more? Sreesanth or Dhoni? Naah, i can name few guys who were very shy and very talented but they didnt had that tough character to survive in world cricket. I am talking abt mental toughness not flamboyance. I just hope he doesn't follow in the same way. When did i equate confidence with flamboyance.? Ridiculous.
Blue Panther Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 What do you smoke? Cigars, you got a problem with that?

How did you judge him to not have mental toughness, then?

Ridiculous.[/quote'] I'm going to disappoint you, it's very competitive these days even in the Indian Domestic Circuit, just by the sheer competition to get into the U19's Ranji because everyone sees the big buck. I dont think you can survive any competitive sport if you are not confident of yourself. I certainly feel Baba Aparajith is being wrongly stereotyped as a Shy , Not Confident guy maybe just because he looks like one( dont know what the justification is). I feel the guy is supremely confident of his own abilities. I remember sachin tendulkar who was shy , to be fair extremely shy in the international arena, but once in the field he was a Demon. Hence just proving my point , ANY COMPETITIVE SPORT, one has to be confident of his own abilities.
akshayxyz Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 BP at it again Shyness has nothing to do-with/take-away-from mental toughness. In fact, one can give you counter argument - opposite of what you might be referring as shy/calm dude - are mentally weaker, as they have to open their mouth to cover up their weaknesses - whereas a shy person just goes about doing his business and let the performances speak for itself. Btw, is he more/at-least as shy as the midget in the video below? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oez4TSdZvJI]young sachin tendulkar 1st interview ever intervied by tom alter - YouTube[/ame]

I am not saying he is not confident because of the way he looks, but what i have read abt this guys suggests he is a shy person. I am only saying shyness won't help to be aggressive on the field. If he wants to express himslef then he should get rid of shyness. Thats what we actually want from an youngster, right? express himself as a cricketer. (don't show examples like sreesanth who is just a show off to counter my point)
