Looks like the youngsters were in a hurry to make some tik tok videos back in the pavilion.. seemed in a rush to get back.

 

2011 England tour vibes coming up...

They have to show a lot more hunger than this. Under Kohli your place will be under ridsk.

Agarwal played 13 balls. So he should have had a fair idea of how the pitch was behaving.  This is like 6th or 7th failure in a row in NZ

9th innings on this tour without 50, highest being 37 till now

Let us not talk about dumping everyone. Think about Kohli's struggles in England and West Indies early on in his career.  They are potentially good players. They just need iron out some chinks. Of the three Mayank a more experienced first class player should find a way to survive.

It is unfair to drop him given his recent run. But this doesn't look good. KL Rahul's unimaginable re-entry is not very far if Agarwal continues like this in moving conditions. Very reason why KL Rahul lost his spot. It will be quiet ironic if he lose to Rahul for the same reason.

Of 3 i most worried about mayank as this has been his purple patch and when u struggle in that patch and if he struggles here means issues are serious . 

If he slips it wud be hard for him to make a comeback as rahul is already knocking on door, rohit will comeback n shaw n gill already there. 

[vvvslaxman]

Rohit is one lucky guy to miss out this tour lol

Definitely there is no reason like Rahane who sucked everywhere for 2 years. This guy scored 2  double centuries only recently.  If he is a bunny in moving conditions he will be a disaster in England too.

if they play Mayank then we deserve to lose the test series,take a look at his scores after the bangladesh tests,dude has fallen off the map .

Lucky for him that the next test series is at the end of the year so he ll have enough time incase he fails so ppl forget it. 

Kl issue was also poor form and in poor form technical issue creep in but this is mayank purple patch. Now KL is back in form he is showing not much of issues....playing less false shots, head on ball, playing close to body.

It is the manner of the dismissals that is shocking. It is almost like you give him 10 chances he still won't cross 25 runs. Edgewal

[SUMO]

Agarwal is batting really poor. Lost his touch completely adding to the difficult conditions.

He ll definately have problem in ENG n SA as balls jaggs a lot. Luckily Sa attack isnt same anymore . Has has this habbit of pushing at balls outside off .

He shud definately go for a county season this year. 

Last eng -a tour he avg 17

KL Rahul is also high on confidence now.  I never expected Agarwal to be such a dud like this.

[vvvslaxman]

I thought Shreyas Iyer would struggle in moving conditions lol  He looks like a million dollar compared to this guy. Even Vijay Shankar looked more organized against Boult.

exactly.in hindsight him playing his tests in australia and india masked his weakness which was the reason he never made it to the indian side.

Well lets wait till we come to that conclusion .

Im not shocked have said this long before that aggarwal n iyer have some issues in their game. I have same fear for iyer as well but he plays LOI where he wont be tested much but still a day wud come. 

The thing is they still come from very strong domestic background that they ll do well as most teams are duds im away conditions and teams like SL are dud at home to. So chances of scoring in many series become high and they both knw how to pounce on it

One thing about Iyer is he doesn't push like him. He plays the ball side on. So he is able to get on top of the ball. Also very good off his pads. His problem will be bouncers.

[vvvslaxman]

Hope they don't treat Gill badly after this. First ball dismissals don't tell us much.

Grass always looks greener on other side, be rest assured it ll be worse for iyer.  

I can count his weakness n its more then aggarwal. Both will have issues outside off , iyer more coz he plays far away from body and has bad habbits from LOI. Aggarwal is good with ball coming in but iyer will be in trouble with that also as he plays to across and his feet goes nowhere...prime candidate for inswinger. Iyer also is weaker against short pitch then mayank. 

 

Shankar is very very sound batsman then both, its diff to pin point weakness in his game for red ball. 

[vvvslaxman]

For heavensake not atleast in one game he should have put his hand up.
