Vilander Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 The way he left balls and blocked awesome display. Respect. Link to comment
Vilander Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 Haterz. 1, If its an easy pitch why was it difficult for others to make a ton. 2, If he cant play swing how did he survive the whole day. Link to comment

Anyone who said it was all easy must be out of their mind. They bowled a probing spell post lunch with ball reversing. Even one foot wrong he would have been gone. He showed impeccable judgement around the off stump. He didn't get carried away with his 50. Link to comment

They dont understand Test cricket. Vijay batted like a good old fashioned opener. Link to comment

carnish Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Superb innings and great application. Reminded me of the Dravid days. Not much talent with the guy but the hard work and application always shows. Had always believed that this guy will come good. Thank God the selectors backed him for this long. I hope to see atleast 2 more 100s from him in this series. Link to comment

Because of the way he left the ball particularly...if he can do this a few time in this series..then he will surely get either Anderson or Broad injured because of the work load.. Link to comment
Pagalpanti Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 The way he left balls was great to see. Its something Indian batting has missed since the seniors were past it. Kohli, ChePu and Rahane have to learn in this aspect, they sometimes play/defend a lot of balls outside off which can be easily left.. Kohli's dismissal was just :facepalm: A nothing ball short outside off and he chased it Link to comment

Yup ... I was really loving the way him and Pujara were playing. Pujara just didn't realize the reverse swing so early and fell for the trap set up. I was hoping for a 200+ partnership between them.

vvvslaxman Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 This is the appropriate thread to share Outside subcontinent who has remained notout on day 1 of the test after 90 overs Shastri 135 not out after day 1 - 1990 against England M Vijay 122 not out after day 1 - 2014 against England Sunil Gavaskar 102 not out on day 1 on his debut series.. 1970 against West Indies Murali Vijay 91 not out after day 1 - 2014 durban There are few not outs like 30, 40.. those were rain curtaiiled. Only Vijay has done it twice in Indian history outside subcontinent. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 He has looked determined for test since his come back against Aus. He has limited shots, limited ability, so he needed to show more application which he is doing since then. Link to comment

He can flick, cut, pull, drive, square drive ., lofted drive, sweep shot on drive. Parthiv patel is the example of having limited shots. Not Vijay. His execution is very simple. All in straight line with upright stance. So it might not look like he has wide range of shots. Link to comment
