Rahane in ODIs... my gawd.. these idiots have no clue about cricket, do they? They're living in some parallel world.

I wonder how can someone make such idiotic statement about Rahane,whose strike rate(50 over) these days is in 60s/70s.

Lol & some people wanted him as coach.  Ideally Mike Hesson will be good for us & he will get rid of some deadwoods.  But knowing BCCI they will go for decent Tom Moody. 

Hero worshippers, cheerleaders should not be picked as coach. There will be bias obviously. Indian players all of them have some level of bias.

I agree , but no one expected the pitches we got to play on during WC . 

As it is, our team is very one-dimensional. They can just bat or bowl. Not both. We cannot look for batsmen who will do well only in certain conditions. That will be even more counter-productive. As an ODI batsman, batsmen have to be adaptable.  There are zero excuses for top-order collapsing against the same NZ bowling attack 4 out of the last 4 encounters (including warm-up). 4 times in a row INdian top order imploded against NZ in such a short span of time. This is much deeper than picking the right team.

wish they had brought him in as cover for no 4 and made rahul move up - definitely we would have made it to finals and the final game as it turned out - India would have routed Eng in that pitch.

honestly if Rahane had played, we would have probably won the WC. he would have fitted in the no 4 well, even after Dhawan exit.

Rahane lol, that guy is always the supposed best player for difficult conditions. Rahane doesn't even deserve to be in the test team.

Time has come for us to go more aggressive on format wise specialists. Except Kohli and Bumrah, nobody should play all three formats regularly. 

Maybe Pant, Gill and Shaw in future. 

I'd still like to try Kishan and Samson in limited overs to see how they fare.

What is it with former players having their pet projects and always backing certain players for selection?

 

Going back to Rahane who has done nothing of note in limited over cricket is delusional. Rahane, Rayudu, Pandey etc who can tell the difference anymore.

 

Build for the future, it's not difficult.
