Cricketics Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Really took the attack to the South Africans. As Kohli rotated, he made sure the runs kept coming. He played such classy shots and hit all the South African bowlers. It was a great innings to watch. Special mention to Rahane who did the same thing as Raina did in the previous game. But Dhawan in first 15 overs was CLASS. Those shots were amazing. On this big ground on MCG, someone had to score and he was brilliant today. That's two back to back performance now. He deserved one against Pakistan, but I am glad he was able to get a century here.
BeautifulGame Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 As i kept saying he is one of our best player temperamentally. Stupid to clamor to drop him based on 2-3 failures .Excellent knocks from him back to back. Rahane played a gem too not be forgetten
Cricketics Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Rahane was better :beee: I mentioned, but Dhawan to me set it up. Rahane was fantastic off course. But this one was a really special from Dhawan. He kept hitting South African attack with the new ball.
BlueBee Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Well Played Dhawan. :nice: Rahane, Kohli, Shami, Mohit, Ashwin :nice:
NareshK Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Brutal innings. It was a treat to watch. There's a reason why he is persisted with despite failures leading up to this series. He is a genuine match winner and he proved that before in CT.
Number Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 If there was any other player in his place, they would have dropped him. He gets backing due to his match winning capability. The 6 over backward square leg against a bowler like Morkel was brutal. Shows he is special.
rkt.india Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 He was always good in ODIs. Asking him to drop based on test form is silly. His confidence does go down due to bad outing in test and he takes time to get his touch back after that.
tweaker Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Two back to back great knock against good attack.:two_thumbs_up:
Cricket_Hacker Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 looked confident from the get go.Can rotate strike better though
flamy Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 He was itching to do his century pose lol. We have won every time with a Dhawan century :two_thumbs_up:
zen Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Dhawan was shaping up for a big inning vs. Pak too. I guess that unfortunate RO made him even more determined vs. SA
flamy Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Yes, he was. Although he looked much more in flow vs SA. That drop on 52 really helped here though. Vs Pak, it was chanceless.
vvvslaxman Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Lot of swagger when he clicks. I saw the video of Hussain demonstrating how he plays through off side. He doesn't plant his front foot towards the ball. He kinda keeps it straight in the process giving room to play through off side. A technique that gave him lot of trouble throughout the Aussie series. But it worked for him in this match. But it is not coming without risk. He has to be precise with his placement thorough the offside.
nevada Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 He was itching to do his century pose lol. We have won every time with a Dhawan century :two_thumbs_up: That's an amazing stat! He has finally found form and at the best time - the world cup is the biggest stage he can perform on.
