Wasim Jaffer scored a double century & saved India. Do you the search for an opening batsman is finally over?

Answer 1

NEVER DECIDE ANYTHING IN SINGLE INSTANCE.
WASIM DID WELL.
BUT, IF HE WANTED TO RATE HIMSELF A GOOD OPENER, HE SHOULD PROVE HIMSELF IN MORE AND MORE OCCASIONS.

Answer 2

yes of course.

Profile

A triple-century in only his second first-class game saw Wasim Jaffer anointed as the great new hope of Mumbai cricket. A slightly-built opening batsman with the style and panache of the young Azharuddin, much was expected of him on his Test debut in February 2000. But Allan Donald and Shaun Pollock proved too hot to handle - even though he showed glimpses of a steely and unflappable temperament - and his international career was put on hold. He continued to pile on the runs in domestic cricket and a string of big scores in 2001-02 won him a place on the tour of the West Indies. Once there, he stroked his way to two elegant half-centuries, though a worrying tendency to give it away when well set resulted in him losing his place at the top of the order. He reminded the selectors of his quality with some superb batting for the A team on the 2003 tour of England, but spent three years in the domestic wilderness before being recalled to the squad for the third Test against Sri Lanka in 2005-06. He made most of his first chance on return, against England at Nagpur in March 2006, notching up his maiden Test hundred.

Answer 3

Are you kidding me?Okay agreed to the fact it was a terrific innings and a double century is a fantastic effort but just count the number of times he played and missed.Even after scoring a 100 and a 150 he was still playing and missing.Infact he played and missed 3 times in a over after scoring a 100.If even one of those balls he had edged he would have been out cheaply.Secondly look at the way he was out.He was bowled neck and crop.A batsman batting on 212 doesnt get out like that unless they are trying to score runs very quickly which he wasnt doing.It was just a case of when one of these balls he had played and missed so often he was going to edge or get bowled.And fortunately for India it happened after he scored a magnificent 212.And also I'm not so happy with last 8 Test innings of Viru so the search is definitely not over until these two become very consistent.

Answer 4

i think of he's almost a typhoon. He would desire to come to a cricket adventure and do little or no injury or he would desire to powerfully and demolish each thing. no longer too some time past he destroyed the Pune Warriors interior the IPL and scored a hundred seventy five (no longer out) in sixty six balls. yet having reported that he has long gone out for a duck 21 situations in ODI's with the aid of fact that he began. it particularly relies upon on the day and not the form of bowlers.

Answer 5

it always does not depend upon the single match played by a player.it depends upon the form of the batsman.like sachin is not in a good form and jaffer is.we can't say anything by just watching a match.we have to watch him full series.but he is a nice batsman in test.we can't take him in the odi's.
if you have any doubt you can ask me.
i am the chairman of the selection community.i am kiran more.my nickname is chinku.

Answer 6

he is an underrated player will have to score consistently to be a permanent member of the team if he performs in one test and does not score in another his fate will decided immediately he is not a privileged player of the class of Sehwag who even after failing consistently has been picked up for the WI squad
moreover the process of learning for greg chappel does not seem to stop so one is not sure whether the process of searching for a good opener stops here or not but for the future of India in general we should pray to god that this process stops so that the players get a sense of security in order to boost their confidence

Answer 7

Yes, if Jaffer can be consistent the problem may be over. Sehwag has to contribute too because if he fails then its another opening pair problem

Answer 8

WASIM JAFFER SHOWED THAT HE CAN DO IT.
WE HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW MUCH CONSISTENCE HE IS.
I KNOW HE IS A GOOD PLAYER AND WAS IGNORED LOT OF TIME.
LETS KEEP OUR FINGER CROSSED TO SEE IF HE CAN REALLY BECOMES A GREAT TEST OPENER FOR INDIA

Answer 9

It depends. When a batsman is in form you would think this is a great combination. But its not always the case. Consistency is the key.

Answer 10

No not 100%,
This is too early to a conclusion.
It all depends on how he performs from now,his consistency,temperament etc.
If he can perform in the matches to come,he could be a good choice

Answer 11

Yesssss
