Why can't we convince Hettie & Nicky P to be more like him!!!

In reply to WIfan26

Maybe, CWI needs to be convinced and be like the BCCI and give Hetty and Pooran the freedom to be themselves in the test arena like Pant instead keeping them on tight leash. Pant only knows how to play one way just like the aforementioned duo.
Pant, however, has the luxury of being surrounded by great players that minimizes his flaws whenever he fails.

I am calling it, Pant is great I know all will say that is premature but I have seen enough of this young man
the way he thinks the game the balance he stricks between attack and defense he has already played more important innings outside of India than many of their greats. if only some of our young WI talented players
can strick that balance, we do have some great talent but without the right temperament, it all goes to wast

Lots of past India players have expressed frustration with Pant. He fails a lot in white ball cricket, but when he comes good he does it big, on the big stage.
