Problem with our batsmen!

[the_realist]

When I see the way the likes of Chris Gayle, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli bat, I can clear see the difference between our batsmen and them.

These aforementioned players try to play straight. Look at the innings Gayle played today against England. In majority of his shots he tries to play as much straight possible. Today I saw how Sabbir and Tamim got out, how Shakib and Mushfiq struggled. They all have a very high tendency of playing square to the wicket and cross batted shots.

It was an unbelievable shot Sabbir played, the ball didn't spin much, he didn't even have much room to play it as a square cut, it was pretty much as straight as it comes, and he ends playing a square cut.

I don't understand the reason behind this problem. Playing straight is supposed to be the very basic technique. Most of our batsmen don't have proper technique. If Indian batsmen can have such proper technique, why can't ours?

if indian batsman had proper technique they would be scoring more than 79 surely?

Don't have POWER HITTER! That's about it.

It was an one off match. Their batsmen regularly score 50s in T20 and hundreds in other formats. They whitewashed Australia in Australia and chased 200s in T20.

Pakistani batsmen played mostly square of the wicket.

I never talked about Pakistani batsmen in my post. They were allowed to play square because our bowlers gave them a lot of space to free their arms. Our batsmen didn't face such rubbish bowling, Pakistanis bowled much better.

This. India scored 79. Bangladesh scored 146.

Bangladesh's batsmen are better than India's.

One loss now seems like some people lost total faith on our team. come on guys, first of of all our bowlers were practicing in dharmasala whereas pakistan were practicing in kolkata, even had their practice match in kolkata. Pakistani batsman made out of the pitch most where our bowlers didn't have any clue what typy of assit they will get from the pitch. Poor display mostly from our bowlers which let the batting down. Have faith on our team guys. Not everyday you will win, sometime your turn to loose too. Look at formidable india they collapsed in their own made pitch.

On the evidence of runs scored in both their respective opening games. Yes, BD is better

We lost against an ordinary team whereas India lost to the current World Cup runners-ups. Even then the margin of our loss is higher than India. Just because India lost, doesn't mean we should our loss. India won 10 out of their last 11 T20s, how many did we win?

[Naimul_Hd]

Soumya - Lack of footwork and confidence, very limited shots ( either slicing the ball towards 3rd man or playing across leg side)

Shakib - can't rotate regularly, waste too many balls early in the innings

Mushy - totally out of form. management should give him a rest

Mithun -

Only Tamim & Shabbir is playing well in this World cup !

[Tigers_eye]

Since our batsmen are not Chris Gayle or even Maxwell/Warner/Watson we can't afford to have dot balls.

DOT ball.

That is what our problem is.

Mushi is a master of that. Sarkar following his path. Couldn't do the damage today and got out before that. Shakib use to be a singles machine. Now he is trying to hit every ball out of the park and thus turning in to dot ball montri. I have no problem of Tamim, Shabbir having few dot balls cause they can make it up for it. The rest including Riyad must rotate the strike.

What T_E said...

I've said before our players are not big hitters, but at the very least emulate Kohlis approach to this format. Tamim and Sabbir has got the right idea and I thought Rahim would be the perfect batsman to as well.

"Dot ball montri"! Heehee. I like. I'm going to use it in conversation more often.
