FischerTal Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 His defense seems pretty good to me. He was hardly playing and missing on defense yeah when there is no swing. if he goes aggressive like this in south africa, i dont expect him to score more than 30.
KFC_Zinger Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 im not saying he looks completely clueless or anything' date=' but you have to agree that he always looks like he is in a rush. misjudging deliveries can happen with that mindset[/quote'] The rush may be because he is right now playing in ODI's..... but agree with you, we can comment only after the SA series....
Sandeep99 Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Dhawan, you rock man! What a player! Those shots to Junaid Wasim Akram Khan were just unbelieveble!
KFC_Zinger Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Loved the way he stepped out and hit Junaid...... Made my Day.......:omg::omg::omg::omg::omg::omg:
SLICKR392 Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 hope he does well but i wont be surprised if he gets out' date=' he's been consistent for a long time[/quote'] JAF, It worked man! :two_thumbs_up:
namasteji1 Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 It was great to see Dhawan replying with a smile to Junaid sledging and then next ball four by stepping out and again smiling. :two_thumbs_up:
express bowling Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 tbh he is weak against short ball bowled at body and his high backlift will be under scrutiny in SA. nonetheless brilliant player Dhawan is not weak against the short ball. 1) He has enough time to play them. 2) If the short balls are below his shoulder, he is a good puller and rolls his wrists. 3) If the short balls are above his shoulder, he has a tendency of hooking them in the air sometimes, without rolling his wrists. He was rolling his wrist to the high deliveries in the test match but in LOIs he does not, maybe because he wants to hit a six. Nevertheless, he needs to change this and play the hooks towards the ground. 4) He is a good cutter, whether it is the conventional cut or the upper cut. 5) He is a good leaver of short balls when he decides to leave them.

Lord Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Weak would be if he was getting out or taking hits to balls at his body. He is avoiding them' date=' so should be ok[/quote'] he got out v Aus warm up game to that,got lucky couple of times v SA with Morkel being too in,and got dropped by Roach its not as big a problem as Raina but surely something to work on

Pujara also has similar strengths and weaknesses against short balls. He has a lot of time to play the short ball and sometimes does not roll his wrists if the deliveries are above shoulder height. I think that both Dhawan and Pujara would overcome this issue as it is more a tendency issue and not an ability shortcoming.
