Sandeep99 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Has done decently well.. I so wish to see Dhawan facing upto MJ's thunderbolts on a lively Gabba surface!!
express bowling Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Dhawan has clearly improved his pull shot and has dominated Johnson today. Very nice.
SLICKR392 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Its the pace and bounce that troubled Dhawan in the previous match. This pitch had enough bounce and MJ was running in with the same pace as in the last game.
coffee_rules Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Dhawan was out twice, the thrid ump was clearly blind. So, the jury is still out. He had clearly miscued the shot , a slower one from Clint, had deceived him no end. There were a lot of hits and misses against johnson. This is still ODI cricket where there is pressure to score quickly. So, he will still do better in Test for all we know.
SLICKR392 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 ^ The thread is about MJ vs Dhawan. Dhawan was dropped of Watson's bowling and stumped of Doherty's.
coffee_rules Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 ^ The thread is about MJ vs Dhawan. Dhawan was dropped of Watson's bowling and stumped of Doherty's. His dominance of MJ was after the two reprieves. So, it is a moot point.
Cricketics Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Took the attack to Mitch and made him his b!tc. What a class batsman. That pull shot was brilliant to Johnson.
SLICKR392 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 His dominance of MJ was after the two reprieves. So' date= it is a moot point. So? What's that got to with Dhawan and MJ's face off?
express bowling Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Overall, Dhawan, Rohit and Kohli have nicely handled a really rejuvenated Johnson, sending down 150 k + well directed missiles. Today's pitch did not offer lateral movement but had bounce and decent pace. Playing a 150 k pacer on such a surface is not as easy as some are thinking.
rkt.india Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Its the pace and bounce that troubled Dhawan in the previous match. This pitch had enough bounce and MJ was running in with the same pace as in the last game. No. This track was not as quick and bouncy, was a bit dry.
ShebbySB Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 It was never a problem for him. His non-bowling arm was very good. You do not generate such pace with no use of non-bowling arm. He needs to make him runup a bit more fluid like Shukla and Yadav. Also needs to get leaner n fitter in the upper body & strengthen his lower body which is absolutely crucial for a fast bowler.
express bowling Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 This pitch still had sufficient bounce and the ball was coming on to the bat. Even Vinay Kumar got a couple above the shoulders. The way our top 3 batters handled Johnson is quite commendable.
Austin 3:!6 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 This pitch still had sufficient bounce and the ball was coming on to the bat. Even Vinay Kumar got a couple above the shoulders. The way our top 3 batters handled Johnson is quite commendable. I thought you are a Pakistani :nervous: Why you got such a parosi isque username?
express bowling Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I thought you are a Pakistani :nervous: Why you got such a parosi isque username? :hysterical: :hysterical: And I thought Austin from London is English. :cantstop: With Srinath and then Umesh and Aaron coming through, fast bowlers are not our padosi's monopoly any more. Also, watching a true fast bowler bowling in test cricket , on a green top, is one of the best sights in cricket imo. Also, as I express my opinions mainly about bowling here, the username is intended as a bit of a pun. P.s - there is another poster here, " Express pace " , who is a Pakistani.
Number Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 4 for 46 on a 280 pitch. Must be sticking to line and length Vekatesh lessons at 125 kmph with grunts?
rkt.india Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 4 for 46 on a 280 pitch. Must be sticking to line and length Vekatesh lessons at 125 kmph with grunts? He alone pushed India's score back form 350 to under 300.
G_B_ Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Johnson was slower than he usually is bowling in the early to mid 140s for most of his bowling spells. I thought though he won a lot of mental battles out there. The CSK crew have been scarred by him in the IPL. Even MS despite his innings resorted to respecting MJ. As an MI fan all i can say is hold onto MJ. Malinga is slowly being found out in India
