Salamuddin
International Debutant
IMO, India's wicketkeeping problem is no more.
Parthiv's the man for sure.
I thought his keeping has been fairly good this tour -- he missed a couple of stumping chances off the spinners -- an area he needs to work on -- but overall pretty bloody good.
I also believe Parthiv has tremendous batting talent -- I only hope he does justice to this.
The 45 off 40 balls in the current test was laced with some superb shots, notably a delectable cover drive off Jason Gillespie.
I saw the 49* that he made at Hobart against a strong Australia A pace attack on a seaming wicket -- some very good shots in that -- he's got good technique and possess a wide range of shots (including the pull which is not common amongst yound Indian batsmen).
He also chipped in with some cameos at Melbourne and Adelaide.
More consistency needs to de developed but I feel in 3 years time, he's gonna add further strength to that Indian batting lineup.
