My 1st question

 

1. Parthiv vs Saha in 2nd test 

 

Batting - i think many of us will agree that parthiv is a better batsman so shud he be bought in add to our batting. Saha gives me no confidence as batsman and even team mngmt who bats him so low

 

Keeping- There is no doubt that Saha is a top keeper infact one of the best around but wud parthiv be that bad as a keeper that we cant play him. IMO he can do decent job as a keeper atleast and hopefully wont hurt us. I wud have been doubtfull regd his keeping in Eng or india as those places are tough to keep 

 

So whom wud u pick n why?

Please discuss about Kohli's selection madness:

Is it the case of 1) dostana with Rohit and Dhawan or 2) him foolishly believing that Rohit and Dhawan are better aggressive options in overseas tests?

 

If 1 then does he deserve to be a captain destroying deserving players careers? If 2 then who can drill some sense into him?

My take 

1 Team selection is critical , Rohit, Dhawan sits out, Rahul, Rahane comes in, Ashwin can bat n is 50/50 selection

2 Virat needs to take an off stump guard n only play deliveries straight n to the leg side n move back n across thereby cutting out his outside the off stump fiddling n making bowlers bowl to him rather a bit like Smith does also since his forward movement is good he can compensate like Smith

2 Rohit if he plays should take stance outside the crease n take a middle stump guard, cutting out his weakness with semi front movement while driving also since he is good on cut n pull should utilize that more, n not try to drive too much unless back to the bowler, don't try to reach for the ball but play late n let it come to you n have more patience.

3 Dhawan if he plays should open his stance so he doesn't edge on drive on outside off deliveries like Gambhir n only play deliveries close to his stumps, should play more legside n back foot strokes, at least initially.

Bowlers should bowl with more intensity n pitch the difficult length, hitting top of off n one cannot go wrong with that.

Most important batters should steal singles n keep the momentum, getting bogged down doesn't mean a guy like Pujara or Vijay should go after bowlers n that would be a mistake but show a bit more urgency in strike rotation.

[The Dark Horse]

My argument to the Parthiv, Ishant discussion. Why are people even discussing about replacing Saha and Bumrah by others? Here's one guy who's taken the record number of catches in a test by an Indian - a decent bat but playing his first test in South Africa. The other one playing his first test match, and has adapted quickly in the second innings and played a part in rattling the opposition. Parthiv and Ishant might seem like good options in hindsight but we will probably not do the basics right (not dropping catches/being consistent in bowling) if we play them.
