if we can find 5 batsmen who are better all round batsmen  to Rahane(Kohli spared ofcourse)  then I am in  for dropping him. But not as of now. To avg: 50+ in 3 of SENA  & almost 30 in ENG is a 'Dravid like' performance

Hope that he lives up to your confidence. This season, coming in at #5 in SENA and among specialist batsmen, Rahane is only better than the openers:

out of this, 8 inns are in ENG ,his nemesis country. Only 2 inns in SAF, where it was comparatively tougher & he was mismanaged   that he was a bit lower than his normal self. Hope he continues in his normal self  in the next matches

zen bhai...tame toh pandya na bhakt thayi gaya cho... so much of defending him in every thread...

haha, I try to support promising youngsters esp. if they are getting the hate .... if a better option turns up, I will try to support that option :p:

 

What is the fun in defending an established player? There are usually no grey areas there

India at The Oval: Hanuma Vihari for Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja for R Ashwin?

 

http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/24585973/are-india-looking-play-debutant-oval

 

How is Dhawan saving his place  ?   Not a single 50+ knock in this series despite being a specialist batsman  !

 

Even Rahul should be dropped ... and the only thing that goes in his favour is his slip catching in the last 2 tests, which is of immense importance.

Sometime stats don't tell what you see in match. Pandya has been useless and balance of side is not there because of him in both south africa and england tour.

I agree. With pandya down the order and the long tail that we have , could have been playing on the minds of our top order. Leave the openers aside, dhawan was not supposed to play, vijay lost his mojo and rahul lost his basics and will be out of team.

 

Pandya lacks consistency. He is playing in spot 6 where laxman used to play and would shepherd the lower order. That is the primary role . Bowling is a plus . We need him to bowl tight to give rest for our Pacers. 

 

As folks pointed out he gets twice the chances and so stats look better than what he is . He inspires zero confidence.

 

Rahane had two innings of substance . He was off form but he definitely is a great bat. With openers out of form, pandya being in the team upset the balance big time. 

 

We should have a good batsman who can bowl 10 overs and keep it tight. Any wickets from that part time bowler is bonus. Role definition for pandya is the problem here. With the current mix of players we have pandya unfortunately cannot be slotted in .

2 50+ partnership in the one test we won. They have fared the same their Eng counterparts if not better. It is lower MO that is making the difference.

Ifs and buts of many fans:

  • If 6th batsman were playing, the 5th bowler or all-rounder would have been better
  • If 5th bowler were playing, the 6th batsman or all-rounder would have been better
  • If the all-rounder were playing, the 6th batsman or the 5th bowler would have been better 

 

Extending it to players

  • If Ashwin were playing, Jadeja would have been better
  • If Jadeja were playing, Ashwin would have been better
  • If Karthik were keeping, Pant would have been better
  • If Pant were keeping, Karthik would have been better
  • If Vijay were opening, Rahul would have been better
  • If Rahul were opening, Vijay would have been better
  • If Shami has an off-day, Yadav would have been better
  • If Yadav is struggling, Shami would have been better
  • and so on 

 

:facepalm:

Pandya is not the finished product and it's unfair as the all-rounder tag holds a lot of responsibility.

 

Pandya should find more discipline with his bowling and perhaps be able to adapt when the team needs him to bide time with the bat. Because if this continues as it is, he might simply be dropped forever!

Last game wasn’t a good one for Pandya so was due for a good one. Ind likely missed out on a good performance from him in this game :facepalm: .... Anyways not everyone can play every game 

 

Good to see Vihari though. But he could have easily played in place of one of the struggling batsmen - Dhawan, Rahul or Rahane
