Prithvi Shaw

[SillyCowCorner1]

Don't be critical of him. Let him play his natural game


And that centiry on debut was one of the most one-sided against a **** oppostion. This kid is only playing for numbers?

 

[Burgey]

after scoring 22, 68 and 152 respectively

152 will be his series aggregate if he plays off the back foot with an angled blade over here.

It’s somethibg he can fix with a bit of work. It’s not a glaring flaw but it is something that costs you if it’s bouncing.

 

[Agricultural]

Yes.

Can't wait to see him do a Devang Gandhi in Australia.

Check this out: Vijay Hazare trophy match yesterday. Prithvi made a quickfire 50 but got into trouble from Siraj targetting him with bouncers. Dropped twice in an over at fine leg and also scored a six from another top edge. He stays too leg side of the ball and doesn't get across/inside the line of the ball that one needs to do to be a good puller/hooker. Hope he corrects this because you don't want to go to Australia with a short ball problem.

Good on Siraj

Anything better will mean he's 10 times better than other teenagers.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The last teenager (of a touring team) to hit a century in Australia was Adrian Barath?

 

[jimmy101]

You may be right, but Adrian Barath was of course a Man-God, so I'm not sure if he counts.

Yeah, Gabriel nearly had him a couple of times with a bumper.

Wonder if the short outside off tactic would work like it occasionally did with Sehwag

Shaw is trying to spank him out the park. Needs to show more respect to bumpers on/over shoulder height against quick bowlers getting bounce. That's it. Shot selection.

 

[Burgey]

Scared.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

No idea, should at least have waited a couple of years to see if he sucks away from home first.

 

[Agricultural]

Scared.

Scared is ducking. He's taking the shot on.

 

[sledger]

He's Indian so probably not.

 

[Burner]

Yes. I am pretty sure the kid's going to be Tendulkar 2.0.

Thought Kohli was?

 

[Manee]

Thought Kohli was?

Kohli > Sachin.

 

[CricAddict]

Kohli > Sachin.

No. Still some way to go for that. This is just similar to people saying Dravid is greater than Sachin.
