one must thank dravid for retiring timely so that pujara got a chance when he is in the peak of his form.otherwise like manoj tewary, & rahene he would have warmed the benches & subsequently out of sheer frustation lost his batting touch.the remaining "oldie" should realise the harm he is doing to indian cricket by sticking on, despite poor form, and taking advantage of BCCI's gutless approach of not touching him.
AGINST ENGLAND IN THE INDIAN CRICKET TEAM MAKE THE CONSECUTIVE CENTURY THIS WAS DONE BY THE PREVIOUS PLAYER LIKE 1) DILIP VENGASAKAR IN THE SAME GROUND OF LORD GROUND THREE TIMES OF SRIES INDIA AND ENGLAND IN ENGLAND 2) MR.M.AZHAR IS DONE IN THE YEAR 1983 AGAINST ENGLAND IT WAS HIS FIRST DEBUT IN THE KOLKATA,CHENNAI, KANPUR. 3) MR.RAHUL DRVID IN ENGLAND IN THE YEAR 2011 4) PUJARA IS ACHIEVING IS GOOD IN THE INDIAN GROUND HE PROVE THE HE CAN ABLE TO DO IN THE FAST PITCHES IN AUSTRALIA,SA,ENGLAND,NEWZLAND . 5) STILL LONG WAY TO GO TO PLAY ATLEAST 10-15 MATCHES WITH DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND PITCHES. 6) IT IS BEGINNING FOR HIM
Just 2 tests ( incomplete) and 3 innings is too short a time to decide. Hopefully he will continue in this vein for the whole series - then he deserves such comments.
today' turning track which started turning frmom day 1 n also morning help to pacers still didnt deter pujara in anyway. thats a sign of good maturity that he has n symptom that he is going to prosper even on pacer friendly wkts overseas. cricinfo news"There was some bounce to excite England's pace bowlers and predictably he was tested with the short ball, but he emerged comfortably enough to suggest he will be an India batsman who can also prosper overseas". this tells the story of pujara's genuine technique to prosper even in overseas (which he has done even during ind's A tours).
It seems sachin has no self respect left.he is waiting for one 50 or something so as to last for another 10 tests.even if he scores one hundred it is time to make way for some young player.
