Shastri is doing a great job

[Khota]

No he is not. I can win with this set of players.

Dropping Pujara and rahane ? Playing rohit in tests for nth time. Recycling same garbage ? Playing Dhawan even after multiple failures ? Not playing jadeja in Perth. 

How is dropping Rahane a bad thing, he proved his worth in England.Shastri didn't ask him to stink against SL at home where Rohit scored 100s so he was given preference, how is it a bad selection.

Samething with Pujara, they did not ask him stink in county cricket so they played  everyone's darling KL Rahul.Who promptly stunk everywhere. Who was alternative to Dhawan in the squad??

 

Yes Jadeja should have played in Perth.But you think Perth test was lost due to that or due to the fact none of batsmen other than Kohli knew how to play on that pitch.

Players who are not selected are always better players for some people. If they were better they would have been selected ahead of players who were playing.

 

They did not anticipate injuries to Bhuvi and Bumrah in England nor Shaw in Australia. It is easy to point out flaws after the fact.Did they make some mistakes yes they did nobody is perfect.Expecting perfection is stupidity, how did the team compete even test series was lost both in SA and England.

 

You don't win test series overseas just like that, teams need to learn how to win, Australian series should be watershed moment for this Indian team.They will win more than they lose if they keep doing what they did and find some batsmen who have spine.It is a process it won't happen overnight.
