Ultimate_Game Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Hope Rahane & Rohit get their shots as well in the team so people's misconception about them, based on their shorter format performances, could be cleared.

Ultimate_Game Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 :cantstop: That's what most folks thought about Dhawan as well before his debut Give a player fair chance in their favored format before writing them off. If Dhawan was to be judged on his shorter format performances he wouldn't have been given a debut.
saneindian Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Hope Rahane & Rohit get their shots as well in the team so people's misconception about them' date=' based on their shorter format performances, could be cleared.[/quote'] But Dhawan has an average FC record (by our FC batting standards) but a very good List A record and hence playing wrong format, no?
rkt.india Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 But Dhawan has an average FC record (by our FC batting standards) but a very good List A record and hence playing wrong format' date=' no?[/quote'] He did play very much like he would play in a List A match though.
rkt.india Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 hacklass innings...hacked whole bowling attack.
I6MTW Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 what is the record for the fastest double century on debut? Has anyone got a triple century on debut?
Trichromatic Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 what is the record for the fastest double century on debut? Has anyone got a triple century on debut? No one has got triple on debut. Fastest double century was by Rudolph, but number of ball details were not available in older days.
Ultimate_Game Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 But Dhawan has an average FC record (by our FC batting standards) but a very good List A record and hence playing wrong format' date=' no?[/quote'] Nope, Dhawan has a pretty decent FC record averaging 45 with 16 100s. Not too many openers ahead of him.
SLICKR392 Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 great watch. sublime stroke play. couple of edges' date='[/quote'] Just 1 edge of Siddle.
Brainfade Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 97 players have scored centuries on Test debut. Dhawan has the 6th highest score so far among them. Above him are Reginald Foster, Jacques Rudolph, Lawrence Rowe, Matthew Sinclair and Brendon Kuruppu. Of the 97, some went on to long, great careers, many did not. Great innings! Brings a much-needed boost to our opening woes. But, a long way to go to a great career, to be dubbed "the answer" and such.
harmuk Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 More importantly he has batted the overrated She-wag out of the team for good. About time. This is exactly what happens when we are hung up in the past and keep giving all the washed up players like She-wag chances, hoping they will click while we keep losing Tests. She-wag should have been history after the Aussie series last year, along with Dravid, Tendulkar and Laxman. Better late than never. Way to go Dhawan, Pujara and others.
NareshK Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Good thing about this knock is the positive footwork and all his shots were proper cricketing shots and very rarely got beaten or edged. Treat to watch.
King Tendulkar Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 More importantly he has batted the overrated She-wag out of the team for good. About time. This is exactly what happens when we are hung up in the past and keep giving all the washed up players like She-wag chances, hoping they will click while we keep losing Tests. She-wag should have been history after the Aussie series last year, along with Dravid, Tendulkar and Laxman. Better late than never. Way to go Dhawan, Pujara and others. true
Trundler27 Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Stunning knock!!!! After all the poo thrown at the selectors for 95% of their crappy selections I will be the first one to applaud them for giving a guy 'in-form' a chance at the right moment and boy has he delivered on debut..... stunning knock thus far and hopefully more to come tomorrow... :clap:

gaurav92 Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I never thought of anything like this. Dhawan surprised me and many others who were disappointed with his inclusion in the side. Beautiful innings by him today and hope there are many more to come :nice:
Crookbond Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 He was given his Test cap by Sachin Tendulkar before the match and Dhawan said Tendulkar's words to him had been simple: "He told me that we all have known you as a gutsy player, and you've been performing well on the domestic circuit. We'd like to see your gutsy nature and shots over here." :hatsoff: http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-australia-2013/content/current/story/625393.html
