I6MTW Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Only player in the world who can play all three formats equally well is ABDV. Nobody else.

I6MTW Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 That guy on the far left of the site banner says hello! Kohli is easily better in ODI's then in Tests. As for t20's that's debateable, but he only recently started performing in t20's. He failed in the format till 2012.
Temujin Khaghan Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 pujara will become a better odi batsman because of ipl
fineleg Posted April 24, 2014 Author Posted April 24, 2014 pujara will become a better odi batsman because of ipl lol :haha: If he becomes even 10-20% worse batsman in Tests, then the thoothukudi-circus-tourney will have caused more damage than benefit to him & Indian Test cricket. I hope he remains pure and unscathed in Test format.
Deleted_User_1 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 I can see if one has a preference between tests and ODIs, but t20??? Cowlashing game??? :facepalm:
vvvslaxman Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Another aspect of the game is he does not go with hard hands. His timing far too optimal to go the distance as often . Rahul Dravid is a more attacking player when needed than Pujara can ever be, though they are temperamentally similar. Pujara's shots won't make sweet sound even in tests. Even well hit boundaries. He relies a lot on timing than bat speed or power. I am not sure how he can make up for bat speed in a scenario where he has to hit big.

Dravid did not have that issue much. Dravid used to have timing and gap finding issue early on in his career in ODIs and his SR used to be in early to mid 60s those days. He used to try to hit too hard with no timing or placement. Regarding Pujara, I doubt he ever worked on strengthening aspect. This is one of the most important part in LOIs these days. Look at likes of Kohli and Maxwell, they might look pretty lean and skinny, not really tall too like Gayle, but they have powerful toned muscles, strong wrists and also has great bat speeds.
Temujin Khaghan Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 A complete batsman should be able to both consolidate and dominate... He should be a gun player in any format on any pitch... Tendulkar, Lara... and now ABDV, Kohli
DarthSimian Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 So much bs right there Sorry but u can have ur opinion about what you like more but test cricket is hardest form of cricket without any dispute and people who have played cricket at any professional level agree From your posts it's clear you do not even understand it properly and it's not for you but skill requirement specially in bowling is much higher Great Sunil narine cannot buy a wicket there but bullies everyone in t20 :giggle: Heh, ad hominem argument. Last resort. You can have your opinion that tests are hardest but that does not make it a fact. Have your opinion. Sunil Narine does well in T20 because his skill in bowling is adapted to T20. Just like Clarke's batting is adapted to tests.
NareshK Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 It wouldnt be a bad thing if Pujara stops playing IPL. I would hate to see what happened to Murali Vijay happen to him.
Old guy Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Heh, ad hominem argument. Last resort. You can have your opinion that tests are hardest but that does not make it a fact. Have your opinion. Sunil Narine does well in T20 because his skill in bowling is adapted to T20. Just like Clarke's batting is adapted to tests. It's not opinion sorry you can put head in ur ass but it won't change fact it's much harder format and requires not just skill but actual performance and not just luck T20 requires slogging and bowling is containment in tests you bowl spell after spell attacking and batting has every element in play at different times it's true test of skill and patience It's not for you we can agree there but it's no way in hell easier than t20
SLICKR392 Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Kohli is easily better in ODI's then in Tests. As for t20's that's debateable, but he only recently started performing in t20's. He failed in the format till 2012. I think he started performing in T20s since that WT20. Has been very consistent since then.

A Test player would find it easier to play T20s, not the same the other way around. Plenty of examples if Darth needs them.

His forearms are weak..

Sunil Narine does well in T20 because his skill in bowling is adapted to T20. Just like Clarke's batting is adapted to tests. Yeah that's why teams score at 6-7 runs per over in one format, but not the other. It's quite clear which one favors the batsmen.
fineleg Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 From Cricinfo today: shushank : "Seeing pujara getting beaten without moving his feet... I am really worried that the glamour of limited over cricket has taken over him... we really don't want to lose a quality test batsman to this cash rich IPL.. :x" A lot of discussion among commenters about the impact of IPL on batting techniques. Pujara clearly didn't look comfortable playing that T20 shot. 4.1 Dinda to Pujara, OUT, He's gone! Leans back and tries to steer it to third man, ends up edging it to the keeper. out to Dinda CA Pujara c †Patel b Dinda 10 (18b 1x4 0x6) SR: 55.55
FischerTal Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Not made for T20s but he will keep trying for the money
