Yeah Shaw might not be ready but they should atleast try him because Dhawan is a gone case.

I will say Vihari Was the one we didn't need today.
Should as well push Shardul instead

Pandya, though I don't like him-was a handy bowling option.

Virat has given him a few days off after SC's pronouncing decriminalization of Section 377.

Kohli: "Ashwin aggravated his niggle."

 

Virat Kohli has hit back at criticism of the lack of tour games. The gist of it, in his interview with Uncle Tom Holding on Sky, is that you don't get good oppositions for tour games these days, and that is why they are actually worse preparation for a Test series than nets among themselves.

After losing 4 tosses one would expect Kohli to call it differently but no , comes across adamant and rigid.

When Virat and Anushka split up...Bunty Sajdeh came in and helped them both to get together on a coin toss...Virat called Heads...rest is history.

Just 4 specialist bowlers? One extra batsman is not going to much of a difference. Who come up with these decisions.

Never understood this ready business. If he is not ready why he is in the squad? If by not ready means Shaw would have failed, thats fine. Its not as if Dhawan and Rahooooool is setting world on fire.

sunny g is furious over not selecting nair

saying team mngmt doesnt like nair

Sunil Gavaskar is fuming on Sony Six. "He is not your favourite player. The selectors seem to have brought him. Don't think the team management likes him. Karun Nair has every right to ask the team management why he is not in the team. He deserves an answer. You didn't pick an extra specialist batsman earlier, but now that you have, Karun Nair deserves an answer."

 

Cheerleader snubbing Dravid's son?

Vihari aparently bowls off spin

Kohli and his idiotic Brain.
There were some mediawalas who were calling for Dropping Pandya for Vihari!!
Bam!
Now this!
I don't understand why can't Virat give full backing to useful players and let the media influence.. I understand Dropping Kartik for Pant, but why Pandya got dropped?
I don't even like him much and I'm saying this.

Eng goes with two spinners and India goes with one supposed spinner and one bowler short... better play will 11 batsmen....

Exactly.
I think Dhawan should've been dropped at least to give Shaw a chance. He's young and fresh - eager to learn too.
A much bigger upgrade from that thigh slapping Ullu.
I will never understand people who wanted Vihari for Pandya.
We need an opener(possibly 2-but KL rahul needs to be dropped soon though I don't see it because now Bunty money has got involved )- and not an all-rounder.

lol.. Pandya is not the answer. Umesh Yadav should've played here.

Cook looking in good touch

[UrmiSinhaRay]

I don't know is it true or not - not really gossip but this is one inference I gathered... Kohli doesn't like players who are quiet and keeps to his own.
He always prefers players with tattoos, weird obnoxious attitude and streaked hair.
Amiright?

Shaw is another overrated mumbaikar.

 

I rate Gill and Vihari over him. 

Shaw is not overrated ffs I have closely followed him in u19 WC, and this is a dead rubber, he should have played in place of dhawan or Rahul at least we would have had a better look of his technique n temperament, both dhawan and Rahul has done pathetic job in this series.

Even I rate gill over shaw but this is not the way to groom a youngster.

To each your own.
But I really want to know which idiot wanted Vihari in the team.
They couldn't send Siraj who is in great form but sent Vijay back home and send this Vihari.
If anything, we need openers.
Shaw should've been debuted today instead of Vihari

Our cricket is in crisis lol. No transparency at all. Firstly Ashwin should not have played with a niggle. Just like his bhuvi played without being fully unfit. Squads not picked fully on merit. Apparently , there is no need for practice matches since the opposition is poor and net sessions are better. Just seems to get better. Either Kohli is just a puppet in the hands of the powers that be or he is incredibly dumb and has no idea what is needed to prepare for such tours. Or maybe, they just don't care enough about it enough. Just too many things wrong with our cricket nowadays.
