rkt.india Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 declare now.... No. Play till tea, take a big lead and then give them 115-120 overs to bat, 25-30 today and 90 tomorrow.
Lord Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 250 for pujara SR of 66.84 too good for A matches.waste of a spot really.should have gone for a youngster
FischerTal Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 too good for A matches.waste of a spot really.should have gone for a youngster He's not playing LOIs so needs to be match fit.
Unleashed Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 and some people were worried about Pujara's form.
G_B_ Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 for heaven sake you nearly 300 runs ahead now. Why are they dragging on

Lord Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 He's not playing LOIs so needs to be match fit. can play other matches for that
rkt.india Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 can play other matches for that No. Those are lower rung matches and can drew him into a bit of complacency. A matches are more competitive and close to international standard which will keep him on the toes.
Lord Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 No. Those are lower rung matches and can drew him into a bit of complacency. A matches are more competitive and close to international standard which will keep him on the toes. Why do we need him to keep him on toes?his place is not in question.hes our best batsman. Its only question of fitness and lower matches can help.Though I doubt batsmen need to play matches to keep fit.

Playing at lower levels can also bring a false sense of supremacy and complacency against below average attacks and bring some bad habits.
FischerTal Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 3rd FC triple hundred for Pujara :bow: :yay: :aha:

Playing at lower levels can also bring a false sense of supremacy and complacency against below average attacks and bring some bad habits. Complacency is a character attribute.Some can be complacent even in test matches against minnows.I dont think level of cricket has anything to do with it. Professional players keep the same level of intensity. Pujara should clearly know his goals for these matches.If it is only to get fit then lower matches are sufficient.Other upcoming players can better use the opportunity provided by A tours
Lord Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 3rd FC triple hundred for Pujara :bow: :yay: :aha: in the league of Sir now :congrats:
FischerTal Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 in the league of Sir now :congrats: :nervous:
G_B_ Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 well played Che I do hope the tour to SA happens. I think we all know Che is the master of Indian conditions. Want him to be tested in SA especially.
Pagalpanti Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 I think Pujara's role in A team is more than just match practice. While most of us are touting Kohli to take over from Dhoni, it could easily be Pujara in test and these games might be a good practice for Pujara in case test captaincy does fall upon him.
