Ram Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Precisely. Just love his fearless approach , the way he walks down the track with head-still , shoulders crouched and smokes the best in the business down the ground or through mid-wicket for effortless shots. India have found one Gem ! :isalute: Link to comment
fineleg Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 MM, He is a good find. But dont get over elated. We've been there, done that to see dramatic downfalls with Indian players. Slow and steady elation advised. It takes time to confirm if he is a true 'gem' ala a Tendulkar or Dravid or Kapil Dev et.al. - Folks who endured decade(s) of cricket at top class. Link to comment
Bumper Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 This guy is amazing, innit ?

kabira Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 he was taking game away from Lankans in WC game..got out to briliant catch.. Link to comment
theguyinallblue Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 i like his hayden like batting style..walking down the pitch to play against the fast bowlers... this just messes up any sort of plan..any bloody line and length bowler..will get a royal screwing against such type of players.. thats why pietersen was successful against Mcgrath...as he walked up to the pitch of the ball...and since he is good at playing hook or pull shot...it negates any idea of bouncing the batsman by the bowler... Uthappa has very strong shoulders..and he plays good hook and pull shots...he is an ideal number 4 ... Link to comment
bharat297 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 He is batting well lower down the order, however I have only seen him do well once away from home and still havent seen consistency at the top order from him. However, he looks to be a good player of the future, definately a gem for india Link to comment
PaiN_KiLLeR Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 uthappa is champion in the making, he can bat at any position in ODI's. he deserves a chance to prove himself in tests as well. BTW sreesanth could be the hero of dunston checks in (part 2) Link to comment
