kira Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 A comment on cricbuzz:- Quote Jaimin says: Why can't India try Rohit as an opener in Tests? Dhawan and Rahul are anyways not providing the required starts. We all know what Sehwag did when he was asked to open in South Africa. Rohit on any day has better technique than Dhawan.

Moochad Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Looks like a 4 day test match on the cards. I don't think we will get much if any play today but next 3 days are clear UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

We will never know how would he have fared in tests as his line and lengths used to be pretty good. I won't pick a Dinda kind of pacer today with the kind of talent we have from 2015 onwards. But, till 2014, our pace attack lacked accuracy and intensity as a group. There are 3 pacers who deserved some chances in test matches in this era. Pankaj Singh, Ashok Dinda and Ishwar Pandey. All were very accurate, bowled with a lot of heart, could move the ball and were fast-medium. None of them were superb ... but would have been decent workhorse pacers who could maintain pressure from their end. Mosher, saik and UrmiSinhaRay 2 1 Link to comment

Austin 3:!6 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Edit - Rain due tomorrow afternoon as well and so on monday. So we are taking about 2.5 days cricket. @kira - You were right, Kohli's India wont get whitewashed. It will be 4-0 loss this time with this test being a draw Link to comment

Laaloo Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) 45 minutes ago, kira said: We'll win this series 3-1 or 2-1 if this match gets washed out Yup. One thing we have seen under kohlis leadership when he's down in the series, is his remarkable ability to rally his troops and come back in the series. 2016 in Sri Lanka. 2017 against Australia. His last overseas tours to SA and Aus (2014). The only ones oblivious to this are dhoni sycopanths which you can excuse them because of how lofty standards dhoni set overseas so they are dissappointed with Kohli.

I just tell the facts. Sehwag averages 33-34 in Sena countries that is a fact. Sehwag was a great SC batsman like Pujara. Pujara also had an important contribution in Wandrers win on that minefield.

Straight Drive Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 iirc Lords has been the best ground for Asian teams in terms of number of tests won. Rain is not helping the cause though. Whole day washed out on a ground where we have won previously. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
