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

Delightful' date=' no? :beee:[/quote'] just imagine :angelic:

I know. Rear entry will become a common sight in test cricket then.

[Cricket Tragic]

Gambhir has made a pretty significant change to his backlift. I don't think it was really required and it's not the right time for it anyway.

[Sachinism]

Gambhir is out of touch badly. His technique of poking is going to be his demise. I called this before the tour. You can't get away with poking on a bouncy wicket. He needs to be rested for the next match. Our success is off a good opening stand and he isn't going to give that at the moment

[saneindian]

Needs a break. Thankfully for Gauti, we do not play a test series for next 6 months. So he wil have some one dayers CB series, Asia Cup and then the IPL to sort out these issues and get some confidence before the next test series.

[BERGKAMP]

he should never have lost his virginity. bcci should have convinced him to become a cricketing sadhu, at least until he retired.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh otherwise aniruddha srikanth will get into the team

:giggle:

[Septimius Severus]

gambhir must think he`s battiing in kanpur not sydney, maybe that can work in his favour

Gambhir has become a victim of a deadly cocktail of lack of confidence + bad form + injury issues + really good bowling + tricky pitches. When you’re out of form like he is, the last thing you want is to be shipped to Australia to face 90 mph accurate swing bowling. And to put it mildly, he’s now officially James Pattinson’s b!tch. Pattinson’s accuracy and bounce is scaring the sh!t outta him right now. The Indian team management has reposed faith in him after nearly a year of underwhelming performances. But with the series on the verge lost already, it is time to ring in the change for the 3rd test.

this.

the class innings was an odi in wankhede.... this is melbourne,kydney,perth.....dont think he`ll fair well + his confidence is ramshakled

its not that he hasn't played brilliant innings in Test matches before. He's a bit out of touch but he's a very determined guy and will bounce back soon. I am certain that he will not be dropped in the Australia series.

let this match finish first

bowl him 1000 balls around off stump at nets nd he`ll gradually decrease the number of pokes for example--he`ll poke 40 out of first 200 balls, then it`ll get reduced to 30 pokes out of next 200 balls nd so on...... conditions apply :--D

[gaurav92]

He is repeating the same ol mistakes - poking away from the body to a length ball outside the off stump :facepalm:

[Singham]

Fiery character gambhir will come back stronger. Needs more match practice.

[vvvslaxman]

India's climb to the top was mainly based on Gauti/Viru's form as openers. As soon as there was a dip there we started declining. We could not even get to totals like 300.

To be honest it is brainless to commit the same mistake again and again. He is mentally strong. Nobody questions that. His form is so bad that INdia cannot afford it anymore. Time for him to take time out and come back stronger.
