zen Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 No .... the assumption here is that everything else would remain the same, which is a classic analysis error .... what if Kohli's catch was taken Gollum and philcric 2 Link to comment

gattaca Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) You can remove dead weight unless there are losses with this Indian team. Kohli is very stubborn he will stick to experienced veterans. Edited August 18, 2018 by gattaca Link to comment

Have you compared his batting average with the specialist batsmen in those games? .... Have you seen the number of balls that he has bowled? Link to comment

But he is making up irrelevant criteria .... and when the main problem have been the specialists You, like many of his fans keep going back to that non sequitur, which specialist has Pandya replaced? He's not better than any top 6 batter, mind you coming at 6 is much easier to bat in SA, NZ, Aus, Eng than the top 3 or 4 in the lineup. He's also the only one who has played all tests after Kohli, so he's not scared of his spot! Talking about his bowling, well there's no to say unfortunately, anyone who compares this guy to even Watson must be his die hard fan. Edited August 18, 2018 by R!TTER Link to comment

Then what is he doing taking up a spot of someone like say Jadeja, who would've been handy at Edbaston? If he's not better than any of the alternatives playing, or in the shed - what's he doing out in the middle? Link to comment
