The Outsider Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 His batting performance for a rookie ranks only slightly below the Perth century I watched 20 years back from Tendulkar! :hatsoff:
Rajiv Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Unlucky for him that he lost partners, but it was a solid knock
zaheer Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Yep!! he along with Yadav the only positives from this tour as of yet..
urbestfriend Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Kohli has in in him to succeed in test cricket and for that to happen, he should come at #3 after Dravid retires. Hope he is not made a scapegoat at #6, which is very unfair for him..
rkt.india Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 he was our best batsman in this match and this pitch was not as flat as it was in 2008 when india won and not like 2009 when SA chased down 414. it was a tough track because of the cracks in it and australian bowlers swung the ball all the time at 140k with exemplary accuracy.
Old guy Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 i think we will do fine after seniors go... players like virat are class they will perform sooner or later this guy looked more comfortable then dravid and in the end lost partners and for a rookie to expect to keep going like that was unfair he should play at no 3-4
zaheer Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Moody has been saying if he could carry on and score a ton since he got out in the first innings.. itll really turn things around for him. Too bad it didnt happen in this test.
India-KXIP fan Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Good player even for test level from what I saw today. He has ability and deserves many chances even if he fails in the next test.
rkt.india Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Yep!! he along with Yadav the only positives from this tour as of yet.. plus Ashwin
zaheer Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Kohli has in in him to succeed in test cricket and for that to happen' date=' he should come at #3 after Dravid retires. Hope he is not made a scapegoat at #6, which is very unfair for him..[/quote'] Ill get Rahane at 3, Kohli at 5 and Pujara/Sharma at 6.. After Tendulkar, Rohit can move to 4.
dragonfly Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 plus Ashwin Yea, Ashwin certainly cemented his place as our second best batsman (after Kohli).
deathmonger Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Will not average more than 40 outside Asia. a good knock on a difficult pitch against high quality bowling.
deathmonger Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Yea' date=' Ashwin certainly cemented his place as our second best batsman (after Kohli).[/quote'] all the youngsters have done well. time to bring in more new blood.
surajmal Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Gambhir Mukund Kohli Sachin (Pujara) Sharma Rahane/Sehwag Kaul I like this batting lineup going forward
Old guy Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 and future does not look that bleak anymore now does it? its the old players who are struggling .. not new one so thats a big plus i guess
rkt.india Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Yea' date=' Ashwin certainly cemented his place as our second best batsman (after Kohli).[/quote'] and he can bowl a bit too. i dont think anyone would have expected him to take lot of wickets in australia but dropping him for vinay kumar was a rubbish decision. ashwin will be a real force in SC for India to do well in tests.
NeutralCat Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Yep has grown in stature in my eyes, pity he couldn't get his 100 he really deserved it.
