At 27 too - where have India been hiding him, or does his innings say more about Australia's bowling than Dhawan's batting?

Interesting knock, most of his runs were boundaries off length balls just outside off stump. It could be that he has unorthodox strengths and attacks need to rethink the standard line and length to bowl. Obviously their techniques aren't similar but it still reminded me a little of the early Phil Hughes knocks.

His FC record isn't that great...

Clarke's was fairly gash before his debut. The one thing you can't predict when selecting a first timer is their ability to shake off the awe of "FMD, I'm playing Test cricket!" and making the mental step-ups required.

But Clarke was picked young, not at 27. It's a bit different in that case.

I was just responding to the query about where India was hiding him. He hadn't exactly set the world on fire. This wasn't the case of someone like Badrinath or Rahane who had been decimating domestic attacks and yet hadn't gotten the chance at the Test level for whatever reason.

Brlliant knock but I get the feeling he'd be giving slips catching practice outside the subcontinent

He's already been found out in the Caribbean, so lord knows what would happen on the seaming tracks of England, Aus and SA!!

Absolutely outstanding performance from Dhawan, he may have problems in the future outside the subcontinent in the 2nd innings of a test etc etc, but for now we should just appreciate what a superb performance it has been.
Reminiscent of a typical Sehwag innings, it's one of those that is so unbelievable that people sometimes feel the need to cut it down and make references to weak attacks, technique etc a bit like Bradman's average.

He's been introduced at the right time, surely. Not too early, not way past his prime either. Nearly a decade of domestic/development cricket experience has helped a lot. Maybe you can add a flat pitch and second-string bowling to that.
We wouldn't want him playing T20Is, though.

wow what an innings it was fun to watch..Dhawan being a lefty would be a good edition to the Indian top-order as well.. ..Hardly any bowler who can bowl good to a lefty..>2K proves it..
