saneindian Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Hasn't hit a 100 since hitting one vs BD early last year. Since start of 2010, 15 tests, 846 runs@32. Has been gettig starts but then throwing it away. One of the biggest reasons why our batting is struggling in tests. His batting form in ODIs though has got betted during the same perios (28 matches, 1276 runs@51) while his test batting has cooled off after the highs of 2008 and 2009. Can he turn it around during this series?
Sid Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I think he will turn it around this series.Lets not forget he didnt score a 100 but played 2 superb innings at Cape Town.Cmon Gauti get back to your high scoring best in test cricket :nice:

One big score would get him back to his best again. Hopefully that big score comes at Eden.
gaurav92 Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 He is getting out due to some lapse in concentration more than anything else. Playing away from the body, sometimes playing way too hard, walking down the pitch and missing the line, run out etc. etc., he is finding new ways of getting out it seems. He is one of those players who barely struggles to score runs no matter what the pitch is like. We desperately need him in great form for the Aussie tour as he was the man who played brilliantly on those bouncy pitches where others struggled.
Sid Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Yes he hasnt been struggling for runs in test cricket,just needs one big century again.
Pagalpanti Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 He needs to change his game from ODI's to tests. He seems to playing across, late cuts quite early in tests which is his downfall. He needs to try those when he is well in. Too much ODI cricket has done some damage to technique and thinking of the batsmen as to how to pace the innings. Both innings batsmen were trying to go over 5 rpo, which is really not needed in a test match.
Cricket Tragic Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Wanted to start this thread myself. His ODI form has taken some of the attention away from his lack of test runs over the past year and a half. I don't think that it's a massive concern yet though.
asterix Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Gauti needs bit of "Boond Pangeys" on the field..He needs some sort of rivalry going on, on the field to turn him on..
Dravid_TheWall Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Good thing is his old errors are not coming back. One was being an LBW victim with the right foot falling over while playing across and being a poor leaver. This was Gauti when he first came into international cricket. He has looked good but I think he is not concentrating well and is finding ways to get himself out. A big score is around the corner.
Ravi. Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 He is mentally tough so no worries. He will do well ahead.
vvvslaxman Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I have no worries about Gauti. He is gifted in many ways. Will bounce back in style.
carnish Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 he is a rare talent and will come back strong... its just a phase and he looked in great touch in this test... just somehow managed to get out... unlucky runout in 1st inns and controversial lbw in 2nd inns
Sachin=GOD Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 He will play very well in the upcoming Australia tour.
veer Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I think he was just busy looking for the bride past couple of years.. now he is more focused.
MCcricket Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 He is getting out due to some lapse in concentration more than anything else.

nikred Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I think he was just busy looking for the bride past couple of years.. now he is more focused. wtf? :cantstop:
chammakchallo Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 what gauti shud do? exposing the blade too much nd playing with cross bat is the main reason for his failure...playing with straight bat head dwn will actually help him as it did to viru
Manny_Pacquiao Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 he has batted a lot better in that time frame than the stats suggest. he had a lot of unlucky dismissals and ran into some bad form before getting runs against NZ and then in south africa. some big scores are right around the corner, you can't stop a good player from scoring runs
