Bhai what's this BS around good overseas last cycle.Even in last cycle he was highly inconsistent and that's still the same.

@putrevus rightly put in some other thread about Rahane that he never looks in form.Even if scored 300 on one game,he looks lost in next game.

He is quite overrated but still worth keeping in loop in future, however dropping him from the xi is not a bad idea.

He wants to play LoI too .
See the dare

Average of 40 after so many test matches.

Massive under achiever.

Lucky he is playing in this era. In big 4 era, he wouldn't have made it to India A set-up.

Rahane for last 35 innings - Scored 904 runs at an avg of 27.39 (1 century)

In the last 2 years (that is 24 tests) he is averaging 32.9. Last one year (10 tests) he is averaging 17.9 At some point you have to say enough is enough.

Yikes. If those stats were reversed ie. started off averaging 27 and now 51 that would be acceptable.

 

However he is actually getting worse over time and that is simply not good enough. If those trends continue he will averaging in the 30s soon and will become a Rohit Sharma.

He did average above 50 at one stage. I think you are overlapping his ODI stats, where he never looked assured even once in his career.

TBH even in last overseas tours' it was Virat who led from the front barring Eng.Rahane was off and on all the tours, he was not someone who lead the batting with any kind of authority.

However you are right,his ODI stats do influence my view point.

Rahane has been playing Subpar in the last 2 years but the TM gave him the benefit of the doubt as he had a successful away cycle last time around but it's clear he's a fraud ,he is not in the right frame of mind to play atm .time to kick him out 

[Adi BB]

He will fail in australia as well

He is wasting his energy jerking off on another dude. That's why he is so thakela. No energy. His mind is on dicks not cricket. Feel for his official partner.

Generally speaking, he should be fine in Australia.Much Better than in England. But since he looks mentally gone, who knows?
