Disadvantages Of Being An Indian-Opening Batsman (Must Read)


Recommended Posts

Posted

They are under more scruitiny than any others in the team. Even the garbage non-performers like Ro*hit sharma etc...rarely get noticed at the expense of scruitiny on Openers.

Openers are under immense pressure to perform in each and every match unlike bunch of others lower down the order.

If they don't have the captain's support, they are gone. If the captain is broad enough to best utilize the naturally gifted players like Viru, he could have been dropped him down the batting order until he regains his form and fitness (inplace of stupids like Ro*hit or Jadja). But, that's not gonna happen especially with Dhoni out there.

Thokkalo 2015 plans antaaru, its not the age you should consider, matter unda leda anedi chudaali, that's how Aussies won 3 back-to-back WCs (with average age of their players well above 30).

Anthenduku, if you see Dhoni, he never promotes him up the order, because as a batsman goes up the order, the scruitiny increases. In Ind-Pak series, he should have batted one-down, with the form he is in, but he dared not...well that explains.

This applies to One-down batsman as well, to some extent (which is why the great Rahul Dravid was also a scapegoat).

[b][color=#ff0000]These are my thoughts after seeing the disrepect the legends, the only two double centurions in the histoty of ODI cricket recieved, just for being Indian openers. Sachin's case was some what better, he was persuaded to retire. But, Viru's case -its pure disrespect, forgetting all his match winning innings, pure STUPIDITY. This is not good for the game. Ganguly offcourse falls under same category.[/color][/b]

Viru... you rock...will savour your batting forever..you NEVER deserved a DROP. Stupid Management stupid captain...if they continue this insanity..no indian will watch cricket in future..

Raasindi nene...vaadiki cheppukodaaniki past records ayina unnai...kaani my point is we are overlooking many non-performers...do you have a point to justy that?

P.S: Don't pivot this in to fanatism debate. Its true analysis on opening batsman. Not just Sehwag.

I agree to red, but before that they should define a threshold for "performace", if you look at the avarages in Ind-pak series, pathetic......then why only Sehwag. At least he has natural talent.

My point again is more of a constructive critisism, Captain should have tried Sehwag down the order, Sehwag also doesn't have any problem doing that, as he said in the past

It's anything but True analysis bhayya,, In a team sport there are roles. the role of openers is to see off the new ball, and try and get to 10-15 overs at least. lately these qualities are highly compromised because of placid pitches and powerplays, batsmen tried to score of these first 10 overs even if they kept loosing wickets. That's when players like Sehwag excelled . But with new rules, 2 new balls they need be extra careful. Sehwag is clearly past his prime and i don't think he's got that hunger to score and prove himself anymore(It's only my personal feeling though). Look at AUS , M.Hussey was available for SL ODI matches but they didn't select him instead of him being the best batsman in their team(after Clarke). Just because they think there is no point in him playing. That's professional and in a team sport if someone is pulling you back you have to let go of them, there's no place for sentiments, and i can clearly see that's what driven you to write that analysis.

P.S I too love to see Sehwag batting, every single match i hope India bats first just so that I can see Sehwag batting. But we have to terms with reality, and that is Sehwag is not good anymore, and he is not getting any better either.

Thats the reason I said, they could have switched his opening role to middle order, until he regains his touch...

Your analysis can only be true, when there is true bench strength/natural talent...but that's not case. Its not fare to compare to what Australians are doing...when we don't have resourses like them...

Simple dropping won't help, give justification and future plans...

Bold not true...that's when a Captain should play a key role by thinking innovative, out-of-the box.

And Harbajan, Zaheer...topic will be digressed...

Adi nenu anatledu...BCCI antundi..see this from Cricinfo...

[url="http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/player/34102.html"]Rohit Sharma[/url] was retained despite poor returns in ODIs of late. His last six scores were 5, 0, 0, 4, 4 and 4. Since the end of the series against West Indies in 2011, when he was the Man of the Series, Rohit has [url="http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/34102.html?class=2;spanmin1=5+feb+2012;spanval1=span;template=results;type=batting;view=match"]averaged 13 over 14 matches[/url] with one half-century. Rohit escaped the axe primarily because of "[b]lack of alternatives"[/b].
