Yoda-esque Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I hope he doesnt play in SA.. backfoot play is non existent...
I6MTW Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Vijay has bought talent now. But where I don't know. Before he was like a tailender batting with no ability or technique. It's like he has bought talent from someone all of a sudden.

It's like he has bought talent from someone all of a sudden. Bought or Rented? Seriously.. I dont know if his ton is going to harm or benefit us in long run.
adi B Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I hope he doesnt play in SA.. backfoot play is non existent... exactly.i can see him getting edged out everytime there just like in windies
The Dark Horse Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I know he's still not fully convincing but full marks to him for applying himself patiently when the going was tough. If only he can improve his backfoot play on testing pitches- he'll have more to offer.
Vilander Posted March 16, 2013 Author Posted March 16, 2013 No backfoot play, strokeless...you might say. But he has temperment, you have to give it to him. Might still not do well in SA but he is going there.. lol.
Vilander Posted March 16, 2013 Author Posted March 16, 2013 at times i wonder if we are all trolling him with this cynicism or is he trolling us with his success..how is he ticking against Australia.. ??
carnish Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Vijay had a great temperament. Lost it when he went to aggressive mode for IPL success. BUt he has worked hard and done well again. Talent is not everything, every player can improve if he works hard and hence we should never complain when a new guy gets a chance. Rather what dissapoints me is when people back the tried and trusted failures even when they have a long run of bad form. Players should only be in the team when they are in form else they must go back to domestic cricket.
Vilander Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 successive 150's :hatsoff::hatsoff::hatsoff:
JaFanatic Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 not everyone can do that against australia :bow:
Malcolm Merlyn Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 One ball swings and he is gone.He will be a sitting duck in SA.
Straight Drive Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 So far so good. He's done well on his comeback with two scores over 150. Offcourse it will be a tough tour but he is the best in form opener who deserves a first go for South Africa tour. To select anyone else over him at the moment would be unfair.
King Tendulkar Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Vijay had a great temperament. Lost it when he went to aggressive mode for IPL success. BUt he has worked hard and done well again.

rkt.india Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 One ball swings and he is gone.He will be a sitting duck in SA. Ball was reversing whole day for both Starc and Siddle, but he did well. He just did not expect the new ball to swing suddenly as new ball has not swung here at all. In SA ball will swing inevitably, so he will know what expected and will be better prepared for that.
King Tendulkar Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Technically VIjay is excellent. Back foot, front foot and all round the wicket. He has a chance to do well overseas. Dhawan is more suspect
Cevno Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Lol Vijay was sitting duck in SA last time. Technically he is weak too.
Cevno Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Ball was reversing whole day for both Starc and Siddle' date=' but he did well.

Not sure why you are saying it was reversing all day ? Anyways, reverse is very different to conventional swing. Even Dhoni manages Reverse and Raina, Yuvraj too. For a opener you have to play both sides quick conventional swing.
