Pull up your socks Murali Vijay....

[MCcricket]

Murali needs to get into a positive mindset, nothing wrong with his game, needs to rotate strike a bit more

[Sandeep99]

Has been terrible for some time now... needs to buck up.. otherwise Dhawan will get another look in

Dude you really need to lighten up on the negativity. M00Li's failed in a grand total of 1.5 tests - he just scored a 100 in Rajkot.  I'm sure he'll play well in the second innings.  Think back to Adelaide and Kohli's heroics.  Who was at the other end for the most part?  

[Bigg Brother]

Got out in very atypical way today..He never goes for the ball outside off...It was very wide.

[fineleg]

Even if you are a bit out of form, fine take a Test or two to come back to form. But STOP WALKING!!! Let Alastair Cook, Bairstow and Stokes use the darn DRS if they really feel confident. They may have not used it for all you know.

I  am worried about a batsman only when he loses either reflexes or eye-sight or both.

 

Vijay retains both.

 

Just needs to sit with the batting coach....look at his recent videos ....and find out why he is failing.

 

Then practice very hard to rectify that.

 

If it is an injury issue then take a break, get fit and then return.

 

If it is a mindset issue...the captain and coach must motivate him.

If a player needs motivating to play for their national team then they should not be there in the first place.

Lol 3 innings.

It has happened with many a top player across sports.

 

Other aspects of one's life may affect the focus on cricket.  A bit of counselling is required then.

 

I am not sayin g that is the case with Vijay though...his case  seems more like carrying some injury but not taking time-off because of the competition for the openers' slot after rahul has come.

Some degree of complacency I scent.

Average below 40 does not suit a player of his potential. What is worrying is that he got out to the short ball twice in the last 2 Tests now. He is capable of playing better than his scores suggest. Hope he can get back to form in the next Test.

I will hide this thread before his next match and unhide it only when he scores well.

He has always been very inconsistent, hence his low-ish avg.

This club has jinxed Vijay. Time to close this and open a Anti-Monk club

Now you understand the impact of AVKC.

Vijay on 70 not out

 

A Century in first test and didn’t do well in only last two tests possibly due to his back spasms and ICF wants his head. Good that atleast Kohli and Kumble had more sense and patience

 

Vijay is one of the best defensive player of the short ball. He leaves like 98% of the short balls and doesn’t have a short ball problem. So his wickets of short balls looked more to do with his back not letting him get into the right position to leave or defend them properly.

 

Just think what would have happened if Kohli had been dropped after the England tour debacle. Players like Vijay, Pujara, Rahane, Kohli are the core of our test team and they can also have bad form like everyone else. So we should show patience when they are not scoring enough as when they are in form they score big and win you matches
