i dont think he is weak' date='he doesnt need to score on those shorts balls.[/quote'] Thats where his problem begins.He will take on the short ball.

He plays a high risk cricket. So far coming off. More than hook shots.. his cut shots are more risky.
He will fail in SA if he plays those risky shots

biggest problem for Shikar IMO is the rohit at the other end is just not scoring fast enough. In the champions trophy Rohit scored at a fair clip, but in the Windies and now this match he has been extremely slow. Just feel that Dhawan will benefit from an opening partner who can at the very least rotate the strike. On this tour he may not find such a partner cause Rahane is in the same mould as Rohit. Thats not the say Dhawan has played well. He needs to tighten his technique up.

The issue is more about his technical problems than anything else. We are chasing a low target today. What impact can Sharma's low SR have?

I agree its a fundamentally technical problem. I feel his stance and shots are too lose in general and he cant control himself at times. But what you want ideally is for the partner at the other end to rotate the strike and ensure that you dont have much pressure on you. There were times in this innings that Rohit hogged the strike which resulting in shikar being at the non strikers end for a relatively long period. Lets hope the Champions Trophy was not a purple patch and that shikar can iron out the issues.

in SA, these shots might go for six. That'w why Sachin, Sehwag implement the upper cut a lot there

in SA' date=' these shots might go for six. That'w why Sachin, Sehwag implement the upper cut a lot there[/quote'] what about his drives and cuts?

He just has to settle down a bit. He seems to be a compulsive puller and sometimes plays one too many shots. He just needs to stay at the wicket and wait for the bad balls and put them away. He can play shots all around the park, so he can take it easy at the start when there might be something for the bowlers and make up for it later.

But, in general, if his technique is susceptible, then he may struggle. Sehwag, who had a similar game as Dhawan, had exceptional hand-eye coordination. Infact, when he started off, he had a pretty solid game.

I agree with you about Sharma not being able to rotate strike. But, today atleast he had a clear case of standing there and getting some runs. There was no hurry whatsoever.

was a bit lucky with being caught behind of a no ball however stuck with it and scored a century shows he grabs his chances. Well played shikar. Still has some technical issues upfront with the ball is swinging. But then again who does not

LOL at people talking about technique and loose footwork... Everyone's favorite Rohit Sharma has probably the best technique and look at what he does... JACKSH!T..... Some armchair ICFs feel as if they are the master of the game and make judgement on how to play and criticizing match winning players like Dhawan.. If technique and text book batting was that important, England would have won all the trophies by now in the history of Cricket... Dhawan is the BOMB .. He fills up for both Sehwag and Gambhir...
