I have been on Rahim's corner even before the England tour but, I didn't notice something until I saw this wagon wheel. There are many things to like about him, above all, his ability to play each ball to its merit. There are three things on the wagon wheel that concerns me.
1. There are not enough shots on the V area (the long on and long off). However, he had that one six that takes some of my worries away.
2. Not enough cover drives. To be a top class batsman, who are able to get runs from the best bowlers, one has to get a lot more runs through the cover region.
3. He got 14 out of his 34 scoring shots through the backward point area. Thats the only shot for which you use your back hand instead of the front hand. I am wondering if he likes to use back hand more than his front hand. Thats not a good sign. That will be a problem when we will need to score 35 runs in the last 3 overs.
