India vs Australia 1st Test Day 2

Shaw technique

India opener Prithvi Shaw, picked ahead of the experienced KL Rahul and Shubman Gill, fell to a second-ball duck on the first day of the first Test at the Adelaide Oval to vindicate the doubts on his technique raised by former batting maestros Sunil Gavaskar and Allan Border.

 

Shaw tried to drive a Mitchell Starc delivery away from his body but played it on to his stumps.

 

The right-handed batsman had failed to get a fifty in both the warm-up games prior to the first Test, making just 62 in four innings at an average of 15.5, prompting both Border and Gavaskar to say that with a loose technique he shouldn't be playing the first Test. Border had, in fact, said that he plays too many shots outside his off-stump.

 

Shaw has been failing consistently over the past couple of months and was even dropped from the Delhi Capitals (DC) side at one point during the Indian Premier League (IPL). In his last seven innings for DC, he got three ducks and managed just one double digit score which was only 10. His aggregate was just 30 in those seven innings on slower, subcontinental-like surfaces.

 

"I think in Australia the biggest challenge is that you can't drive every ball as the bounce is a bit more," former India opener Wasim Jaffer told a news agency. "You have to be very sure of which ball to play and you need to leave a lot of deliveries. There are many deliveries that you can drive in India but won't be able to do that in Australia because the bounce is more."

 

Jaffer himself endured a difficult time in Australia during the 2007-08 series as he fell to the drive on a few occasions. That was his first tour to the country with the Indian team and says with the benefit of hindsight that batsmen need to check their drives.

 

"I think he has to quickly realise that he cannot keep playing his shots and be careful with vertical shots. He needs to play close to his body and tighten his technique. Having said that, it is just one innings. If it would have come off, people would have praised him. But yeah, he needs to tighten his technique," Jaffer added.
