Shunya Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Some weird comments - We were very well prepared. I don't think it was lack of preparations. - Pitch was outstanding. I really liked the wicket this was. It was great for Test Cricket. - On dropping Rahane -- We decided to go on current form. Rohit had scored runs in last 3 matches against SL. We did similar things with Shikhar sometime back as well. Current form was definitely the criteria. - On playing briskly with intent - You can't just stand there and not have intent at all. Its important to keep coming at the bowler. We need to do it collectively from the top. (Is that a dig at Chepu?) - Dhawan -- It is a preferred choice because left hander always helps and it has worked for us in past.

Gollum Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I just hope Vijay's monkeying around wasn't as per Kohli's instructions to be positive and aggressive. This captain of ours is a specimen. raki05, The Dark Horse, adi B and 6 others 1 5 3 Link to comment

Too much yaarana this is. beetle, raki05 and sscomp32 1 2 Link to comment
Laaloo Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I have no idea how you can justify dhawan and rohits place especially after this failure. I hope and pray it's all smokescreen and that sane heads prevail and Rahul and rahane play the remaining matches. AuxiliA, Under_Score, express bowling and 4 others 7 Link to comment

But theoretically, Vijay is more likely to be successful than Dhawan who will look flashy and then get out. Gollum and GoldenSun 2 Link to comment

Must be against SL Always to mat bol yaar Dhawan playing well in Test matches has to be only against SL. And I dunno which other left handed opener was good in Tests unless he is going way back to Gauti in his prime. Link to comment

Dhawan in his last 5 Tests prior to this series - 550 runs @ 68.75 Rohit in his last 5 Tests prior to this series - 455 runs @ 113.75 Can't drop 2 in form players because of one bad game .

MCcricket Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Virat overall is a decent test captain where he lacks is selecting the playing eleven n his notion of impact players, Dhawan n Rohit are not cut out for tests n especially poor away from home he needs to set aside emotions n pick players on logic alone, we would have had a chance if K L Rahul n even out of form Rahane played,also fast bowlers except BK were poor in first innings Link to comment
