msb1991 Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 No worries mate. The reason for removal was several starting from approaches from agents to requests for coaching others like him :haha: Going great guns, plenty of runs through out. Has had unbelievable run of form, I think at one stage there were 11 knocks over 50 without getting out. Obviously with the growth in the last couple of years there's a lot of strength in his shots as you can see from the videos. The bat size is slightly bigger than before with a bit more meat. Is he playing for club first team or still age group?
cowboysfan Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 We need to teach these young ones proper technique and the ability to play on all surfaces,quicker pitches from state level cricket will be a good start.
King Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Is he playing for club first team or still age group? All sorts, the way it works is you will continue to play the age group as it's important to be selected for local rep sides. Outside that, there are tourneys, overseas trips and so forth. In all he's played age group cricket, rep tourneys, other tourneys, played couple of games for colleges, played against men in India and so forth. Locally the chance of playing for club first team won't happen you finish college i.e till about the time you are 18. Till that point in time you end up representing your college.
Cricket Tragic Posted May 16, 2012 Author Posted May 16, 2012 Good on the lad, always nice to hear success stories of young kids. I think the next generation is going to be even better than the current ones. I've heard quite a bit about this kid. I'm certain he will have a few ups and downs but if he keeps at it he will definitely achieve what he sets out to. Just need to make sure he continues to work hard. Pretty much every international cricketer would have been worth his salt in his younger days. I go back to the 10,000 hours at a skill to master it. This kid could be one of them. On the same account we have seen several kids with great ability, we have one of our own. Although NZ sounds a tiny county in the map for cricket at least, we do have our Kane Williamsons and so forth. Just check on our own boy (our club lad) RnUIIi5PmOc&feature=g-upl LiGihpozsFo&feature=g-upl Now tell me, is it really impossible for Prithvi Shaw to also not be good? Impressive! Plays the short ball better than Raina. :giggle:
Cricket Tragic Posted June 7, 2012 Author Posted June 7, 2012 @StevePigeon19 Seen him play he will go far. Getting some senior experience at my club! Lovely lad as well! Frightening amount of ability. Takes everything in his stride.
Sachinism Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Who's Steve Pigeon? Prithvi is playing in England currently, right?
jj_28 Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Who's Steve Pigeon? Prithvi is playing in England currently, right? +1 is he a coach

Cricket Tragic Posted June 8, 2012 Author Posted June 8, 2012 Who's Steve Pigeon? Prithvi is playing in England currently, right? +1 is he a coach Yes, he's in England. I just saw this on Twitter. Not sure who Steve is. Might be a team mate, coach or someone at the club.
Sachinism Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Yeh I saw Venkatananth's tweet straight after I posted here lol
jj_28 Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Does India do this often? Send gifted youngsters overseas so they can refine their talent in areas where they lack proper coaching
achilles Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 “My favourite cricketer is Sachin Tendulkar,” he says, as if there could be any other. “I also like Dhoni,” he adds, “but only in one-day matches.” :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: Dhobi trolled by kid :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
Cricket Tragic Posted June 17, 2012 Author Posted June 17, 2012 Three Boys and a cricketing dream As the sun goes on Mumbai's maidans, young boys, their flannels gone brown from the dust, walk back with talk of big scores, blinding catches and terrific bowling spells. These days, the buzz in Mumbai is about three teenagers Sarfaraz Khan, Arman Jaffer and Prithvi Shaw and their superlative scores with the bat. For the first time since Sachin Tendulkar made his debut, these three youngsters have set the city grounds on fire. Playing for Mumbai's Rizvi Springfield School, Sarfaraz, Arman and Prithvi have an aggregate of 25,000 runs between them over the last three seasons. Sarfaraz has smashed 31 centuries while Prithvi has over 25. Arman has crossed the 100-mark on 55 occasions - 8 of them coming in one season. That's a total of around 120 tons between the three. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/three-boys-and-a-cricketing-dream/962891/0 The last bit... Though Rizvi school coach Pathak recognises the talent he sees in the three boys, he is conservative about making predictions about who among them will last the distance. Many young cricketers have excelled in school cricket previously too but things changed for them after they turned 16. Many are lost now and their dreams of making it big lie shattered, he says. So what are we witnessing then? The birth of three batsmen who will lead India to path-breaking pinnacles? Or just the story of three young men whose talents are merely a class above the level they're presently playing in? Whether any of them turns out to be the next Tendulkar or not, for the families, there is no question of turning back now. All three families have invested everything they have into their sons careers. These are dreams crafted with no back-up plan or insurance The article provides an idea of the struggle involved and these boys are just starting out.

jind Posted June 17, 2012 Posted June 17, 2012 Way too much hype on kids nowadays :(( true ...puts added pressure and invites agents/sponsorship... the latter could be a good or bad thing
SLICKR392 Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 Prithvi Shaw’s 546 lights up Harris Shield Mumbai's Prithvi Shaw's hit 546 in a Harris Shield match, which is now the highest score by an Indian in any form of cricket. Just days after Sachin Tendulkar’s retirement from cricket, 15-year-old Prithvi Shaw, already a known name in Mumbai’s cricketing circle, took newsrooms around the country by storm when he scored 546 off 330 balls, including 85 fours and five sixes, for Rizvi Springfield against St Francis D’Assisi in a Harris Shield game in Mumbai on Wednesday (November 20). Shaw, unbeaten on 257 overnight, went on to score another 273 runs today. Not long ago, in 2010-11, another ward from Springfield, Armaan Jaffer, had made headlines with his innings of 498 against IES Raja Shivaji School. Shaw not only bettered his school mate, but is now the third highest scorer in any class of cricket behind Clark House’s Arthur Collins, who made 628 not out against North Town in 1899, and Break-o’-Day’s Charles Eady, who hit 566. It is the highest score by any Indian batsman in school cricket and surpassed some big numbers in first-class cricket too. Previously, DR Havewalla, who had made 515 for Bombay Baroda and Central India Railways against St Xavier’s in Mumbai 1933-34, held the highest by an Indian in ‘minor cricket’. Shaw is the third Indian after Havewalla and Chaman Lal, who made 502 not out for Mahendra College, Patiala against Government College, Rupar in 1956-57, to score 500 runs or more in an innings. Maharashtra’s BB Nimbalkar, who made 443 not out against Kathiawar in 1948-49, holds the Indian record for the highest first-class score. http://www.wisdenindia.com/cricket-news/prithvi-shaws-546-lights-harris-shield/86608
