Facepalm moments by playing XI

[The Dark Horse]

1. Vijay - Gifting his wicket away in the first inning.

2. Rahul - Second inning, the way he got out

3. Pujara - double run out 

4. Kohli - The drop and team selection

5. Rohit - No comments

6. Pandya - Run-out and upper cut

7. Ashwin - Not showing up in 2nd inning (Though his catches got dropped)

8. Dropthiv - Needless to mention

9. Ishant - No comments

10. Shami - Droops down and saps the team's energy when much needed

11. Bumrah - Only saving grace

 

How can you win a test match after all these?

This is almost the same XI which played in SA last tour as well and the batting did very well and bowling did well in parts. With all these brain farts only one thing is certain, this time around there a*s seems to be put on fire and no one is able to play their natural way.

for some unknown reason everyone seems to be out of their comfort zone.

what is unknown about it?

Kohli already spilled the beans in his press conferences. He has publicly criticized intent, strikerate, etc of his batsman and even worse dropped some of the best performers and defended himself openly against all criticism. Nobody is comfortable apart from Kohli.

and thats a problem for you guys because that last tests wicket is as close to a subcontinental one as you're ever going to get in SA/eng/aus
