Gautam Gambhir seems to be a shadow of his previous self..

[Precambrian]

Needs a break from tests...

[Spiderguy252]

Guys OP wanted Gambhir to make a score in 2nd innings and he did ... 34 is a score .. even 0 would have been a score. I dont understand the fuss in this thread. As for his technique there are too many Gambo threads. Please Merge.

Lame post is lame.

[deathmonger]

sad thing is before that dab he was showing signs of gambo of old. same with viru. then they fell into same mistakes.

Lame post is lame.

Did I hurt a corner there by asking for merging your thread??? :giggle:

[JaFanatic]

gambo showed a gr8 determination today but couldn make it into performance

tbf before the brainfart his timing was exquisite

His other shots are hardly a problem for him.

[cowboysfan]

that is most frustrating.hes getting out the same way.I wonder what coach is doing.interestingly I havent seen him play these kind of dabs in ODIs that much.its only tests

you are kidding right? thats his bread and butter shot in odis,he just doesnt get out beccause of the lack of slips.

[Lord]

you are kidding right? thats his bread and butter shot in odis' date='he just doesnt get out beccause of the lack of slips.[/quote'] bad memory perhaps but then captains can always put in slips knowing his weaknesses

[Trichromatic]

but then captains can always put in slips knowing his weaknesses

They don't because pitches are always flat in ODIs and controlling those dabs are easier for him.

What does IPL have to do this?

[GautiMaan]

He's getting back into the groove:dance: He's not gonna fail against the Poms,of this im sure

Sarcasm.

Not just sarcasm, I honestly believe IPL has a role to cause poor technique and bad habits to creep in.

[Old guy]

Not just sarcasm' date=' I honestly believe IPL has a role to cause poor technique and bad habits to creep in.[/quote'] agree ipl has part to play but its upto individual..notevery one plays ipl and allows to become himself bad player in tests...its time we accept ipl part of cricket.. yes maybe they would not have such lose technique and bas concentration if there was no ipl but it hasnt harmed every one just few idiots and i blame only these individuals tbh

[deathmonger]

Not just sarcasm' date=' I honestly believe IPL has a role to cause poor technique and bad habits to creep in.[/quote'] bullshit. poor techniques come because of the player not ipl. blaming ipl is the in thing. ashwin and kohli got into limelight via ipl.

[MCcricket]

Both things contribute towards bad test record for Gambhir, Raina, ability to build an innings, cutting down on some strokes, both have the talent it is their temperament and mindset which is causing them to under perform in test's.

I dunno what a coach can do otherthan to say ,"ya know, the glide to slip shot you love, i dont think it works all that well.":hysterical:

Sarcasm.
