New Delhi, Feb 8 (Ians) Had Rishabh Pant scored only 38 runs more, spread over five specific innings in his fledgling Test career, the swashbuckling batsman-wicketkeeper would have seven centuries to show instead of just two in the 18 Tests. He has missed five tons so far, largely because of his penchant for big shots to take the fight to the opponent's camp and win matches.
Pant is just 23, and is fearless -- he became bold after his father used to tie a pillow to his chest and bowl with a cork ball on the terrace of their home in Roorkie, Uttarakhand. But most importantly, perhaps, he has the support and backing of India captain Virat Kohli, coach Ravi Shastri, and the present national -- as well as the previous -- selection committee.
At times, however, Pant seems to lose focus and attempts ambitious shots that lead to his downfall.

Melbourne, Dec 28 (Ians) An injury to regular Australia opener David Warner and lack of in-form genuine openers pitch-forked Matthew Wade, a specialist wicket-keeper, into an opener's slot for the ongoing Test series against India -- with mixed results. In three innings against India, Wade has managed a grand total of 111 runs in four innings of the two Tests.
Wade, 33, is surely a temporary arrangement and once Warner gets match fit he would walk into the XI, replacing him.
Australia have been playing Wade as a specialist middle order batsman while Tim Paine, who is now captain as well, keeping wickets.
Wade also opened the innings in the recent T20 series against India, and captained Australia in a game in Aaron Finch's absence.
There are probably not many examples in Test cricket of a country fielding two wicket-keepers -- one behind the wickets and one as a specialist batsman. But...
