Got to say after many years I am excited about this guy brar.Looks like great prospects and missing link for sena victory .A tall swing bowler who is also quick.

In India cricket has always been politicized, from days of Sharad Pawar ,Dalmiya.When associations used to prepare pitches do india would lose.Nowadays we are better.

we need one senior batsman be it Rahane or Rohit.

Time has come to Nominate 6 Test Grounds and play only on those grounds every series .Every 2 years 1 ground should be cycled based on performance,stadiumr ating,crowd.Next play on decent wickets forget about cheat code to WTC and play on decent pitches which suit our all-round game.

The Fact is on turning pitches we had better spinners like Ashwin and Jadeja ,Who outbawled the opposition spinners. But even then we had collapses and our middle order was struggling for years now.You can say modern batsman cant play spin like vvs,ganguly,dravid used to but now with drs its a whole different game.Also sehwag and rohit were attacking openers and on these pitches opener has to score.India downfall at home started when rohit downfall as .

get shami back.

Each bowler is different .Yadav was skiddy and quick and great with reverse swing ,So was shami.Bumrah with his action is not much of reverse swing bowler and siraj jas been disappointing.

Problem is On these pitches you have to attack like rohit or be very good defending like pujara.Also our batsman are really poor against spin

Good on prasidh ,Morne morkel should continue working on him and Rana.Prasidh should work on his accuracy as he gives away a release ball which is a problem.

Sadly we have not stuck with any young pacer.You have to give prasidh,Harsit some games.Akashdeep lokes promising.Shami has to be in the team.Constant chopping and changing will only hamper growth.

With one bowler rohit did what he could.Nobody can be tactical captain in one format.Field settings we good if only catches were taken .

we would have lost at home with out rohit in last two years he was India's best batsman .At home we had hard pitches and with kohli out of form.Rohit saved us blushes.Expext india to lose more at home in coming matches.

Tell me some moves where he was brilliant.Fact is in 1st test bumrah the bowler was great.We batted poorly and rest of Bowlers were average .India were never going to win in Australia on those pitches which were green compared to last 2 tours and with starc back in form with two greats like Cummins and hazelwood whose replacement was even better.

No I don't agree rohit is always a great tactical captain.With our attack Bumrah had to bowl most and Cummins bowled more than bumrah

You got to be joking if you believe captaincy won india in Perth,Bumrah lost the last test as captain.We should have won at mcg due to drop catches at critical time.Captain is as good as bowling line up.India needs shami fit otherwise bumrah workload will lead to more injuries.Test series are won by bowlers Australia had three inform quicks to India's bumrah and siraj was workhorse for most part .You can't win.

Our bowling is too much defendant on bumrah.Rohit the batsman failed but his captaincy was blamed wrongly vs australia and Nz.Batting failed miserably in india against part time spinners and australia were a better team in there conditions.Our catching has let us down eberywhere.People were crying rohit was bowling bumrah to ground we see the same everywhere.

It all depends on pitches and quality of bowling.

Not really 249 is avg on that pitch.We should have gotten them out around 220

And Jaiswal, Abhishek,Parag will face second Season blues which everybody from Kohli to rohit faced.2.5 years is long time let's see .

More likely they wanted to keep the lead but dada and bcci schedulded another Game after a year ,Who Does that.

Rohit pr team is upping it's game .

No the series was very close india should have won at mcg if they caught well and sydney if not for bumrah injury .Even with roko not showing up australia batting was worse if you see how inexperienced our attack was apart from bumrah.

Yes they don't play but strategy, tactics is what makes difference in cricket along with implementation,Cummins is credit but so are australia backroom staff analyst captain can't plan for every batsman nor take care of every bowler problem or batsman technical problems

Dont kid yourself Most indian cricket public does not care about tests,Players know,BCCI Knows Icc champions trophy is more imp than england test series to masses.
