That's the limitWhy does it have to be 4?
he isn’t though. he is awful against short balls in odis and t20s, imagine him on a proper sena tourGood point but 1 test doesn't ruin a batsman, if he's any good he'll adjust.
plenty of other format games to judge his weakness on. if anything he will be worse in tests with the more lenient restrictions on short ball barrageYeah can't judge on one test
to the point that every pacer and even the odd spinner is bowling short balls to him instinctively. he has worked on it to be better but it will still be ruthlessly exploited by any decent bowler in friendly conditionsHas he been weak against short ball in white ball games then?
if this was post covid when Smith hit two centuries then yeah it is himThere was an Indian middle-order bat who came here for a short ODI series a few years back who was embarassingly bad against the short ball, if that was him then yeah he was really bad
I'd hold you to that. I think he is great. In run chases too. I'd go as far to say he is going to score 7000 test runs at 50. And 50 in odis too playing hundred gamesto the point that every pacer and even the odd spinner is bowling short balls to him instinctively. he has worked on it to be better but it will still be ruthlessly exploited by any decent bowler in friendly conditions
he also bats behind the specialist keeper in our team for a reason so no way he is better than Pant or will ever be when he is older than him
he will do well in odis where you can escape by milking spinners which he does well tbf but in tests he is a walking wicket on any pace friendly pitchI'd hold you to that. I think he is great. In run chases too. I'd go as far to say he is going to score 7000 test runs at 50. And 50 in odis too playing hundred games
Playing for India he can get away with not playing on too many of those thoughhe will do well in odis where you can escape by milking spinners which he does well tbf but in tests he is a walking wicket on any pace friendly pitch
he will be a monster at home and Asia and I can see the selectors just picking him in hope of it carrying over away on sena tours but recently there has been an emphasis on discarding players if they aren’t up to scratch on pace friendly conditions to the point that half the current batsmen cannot even play spin in any way. i don’t think he will be averaging 50 and above just feasting in Asia eitherPlaying for India he can get away with not playing on too many of those though
That's the next Fab 4 All Rounders:Cameron Green should be here , kids a generational talent .
Maybe Rayudu? Remember there was a mini ODI series where Behrendorff and Jhye Richardson took poles. Could be Iyer though for all I knowThere was an Indian middle-order bat who came here for a short ODI series a few years back who was embarassingly bad against the short ball, if that was him then yeah he was really bad
It should be Wiaan Mulder, but I'm a little sceptical now.That's the next Fab 4 All Rounders:
Cam Green
Washington Sundar
Marco Jansen
?
Shadab Khan also worth a shout don't know why Pakistan don't make him an all format playerIt should be Wiaan Mulder, but I'm a little sceptical now.
Sam Curran worth a shout tbh. Ever improving bowler and underrated with the willow
