I think he might be one of those almost mythical cases of actual 'FC average bad because cbf'.

His claim to fame with the bat before this was that he hit 6 sixes in an over in the Harris Shield

Pant channelized Dhoni. Took the game deep and made it mano a mano.
I loved how he even tried to shield Oujara for sometime from Lyon, who was under some pressure due to his line outside off and trigger Happy umpire.

Haha net bowlers an integral part of every squad announcement now. Could win you a series.

The king of moronic hot takes. He also insinuated that the only reason why McCullum scored his 300 was because India was match-fixing.Hes written plenty of ATG bad ones but the one tiny baby piece was the most recent
Mark Reason: What comes first, one tiny baby or a whole nation?
OPINION: Should I go, or should I stay? Captains Kane Williamson and Virat Kohli choose the same answer to an age-old question.www.stuff.co.nz
McCullum deserved better than India's effort
The front foot takes up residence across the way, the weight of a bantam compresses the back leg and those blacksmith forearms crush the ball over extra cover for a boundary.

Advance Congratulations to Sandeep Warrier for a debut series winning fifer in 4th test. #In line with the times
Super squad there that said. Never thought Pandya will be surplus requirement.

Spin is important in India and I actually think we may be slightly weak in that department with Kuldeep out of form, Washington not really a proven long-format bowler and Axar more of a defensive spinner. That being said, Bumrah, Ishant and Siraj together could be fun on the right pitch!

I guess it is due to Covid restrictions but I think it will become a permanent feature going forward.

Do you remember the meltdown blocky had in the tour thread about someone saying that the knock was on par with Laxman's 281 but not quite? Epic.

Natarajan dropped too.

IIRC the tour thread in the immediate aftermath of that game was, how shall I put this, a Blocky special.
Man really had a talent, single-handedly ruining a thread that should normally have been entirely devoted to praising a singular achievement.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion - I think the way Che Pu and Rahane handled Lyon this series was absolutely masterful.
A throw back to the old days of Indian greats batting on minefields against Warne and co. Using their feet to repeatedly get to the ball, or going back deep into their crease and playing it late. Soft hands, playing with the pad first a lot. And they resisted a lot of temptation. All the while they punished the bad balls when they came.
They've had their issues with Lyon in the past, but were superb this series. Lyon's bowled worse for better figures.

Nah he looks awesome. I'm frustrated he doesn't make more runs tbh; he routinely throws away starts. "Picked for Australia A and actually tonned up" looks pretty good on your CV when the competition is a sea of mediocrity and Test failure though, even if that ton was only of only two you've ever made in FC cricket.
Ayy, what's the beefsteak between you and Starc
. He's shot on confidence, just give him some time.

He'll be back. In the darkest hour and when all hope has gone...he will be back.
