Temujin Khaghan Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 forget Rahane, if Rohit replaces hardik Pandya or if Shikar Dhawan enters the field along with Murli vijay when we bat, then I will start riots in the streets.
renjith Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) Rahane is our best batsnan in overseas condition. Only his form is bad. Edited January 4, 2018 by renjith WC2011INDIA 1
Temujin Khaghan Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) having said that, I might just look the other way if Rohit replaces hardik. but if Rahane or KLR are replaced then riots.. riots.. Edited January 4, 2018 by Temujin Khaghan

If you seriously say this, I want to follow the news of your riots on the streets because the former event is DEFINITELY going to happen.

As long as we are winning, everything goes... Kohli is the boss of this team and all players in the test team are happy with that including Rahul, Rahane and everyone who is on bench.
Gollum Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 May be if our selection is utterly crap and we lose 0-3 finally we will be forced to get our **** together for the UK tour. That is the only silver lining I see now.
AuxiliA Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 If indeed Boria is right, playing 5 bowlers is a must, so Pandya gets in. Rohit in place of Rahane, doesn't seem to be a terrible idea. It has more to do with Rahane's own failure than Rohit's success. Rahane has been in an atrocious form lately (averaged 3.4 in the last series, 29 since the NZ series). Granted he has a stellar record overseas, but it seems far fetched for a mentally 'feeble' guy like him to get to form right away in such a crucial match. Also the fact that Rohit has had a blockbuster year doesn't make it easier for Rahane to hold his place. All said, Rahane will get back in the side for the 2nd and 3rd tests, as the tracks will be greener and India will prefer 6 batsmen. P.S.- I can make peace with Rohit playing in the middle order, but no way should dhawan be allowed to open! Sgattick10 and vishalvirsingh 1 1

In tests, SA bowlers are superior than Indian bowlers.
Jimmy Cliff Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Boria is the only one who's suggesting that Rahane will be dropped. Cricinfo thinks Jadeja, Rahul and Umesh are out with the only question mark being about the no. 6 slot with Rohit more likely to play if the surface is bowler friendly. I think Rahane will play tbh.

Boria is trustworthy as he always has some inside information.

jusarrived Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Dhawan VJ Pujara Virat Rohit Pandya we are a batsmen short even for hongkong sixers lol Shunya and Gollum 2
jusarrived Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 First overseas test in SA after a long time with no practice games , its a no brainer to go with 6 batsmen ..even if its a flat pitch you will be up against bowlers who know the conditions well . why put this kind of pressure on your batting in the very first test ? Gollum and AuxiliA 2

What do you expect from this brainless management? I said it after June 18 2017, we now officially lag behind Pakistan in terms of tactics/strategy and team selection.
Ankit_sharma03 Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 why are kohli n shastri adamant on finding ways to screw it, 1st dhawan n now rohit
The Dark Horse Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 I don't believe this Boria guy. Kohli is not THAT bad.
CG Posted January 5, 2018 Posted January 5, 2018 Dhawan has a good record against Sa.Rahul Does have his problems Outside Off stump.On Bowler Friendly Pitches I would Go with 7 batsman and 4 bowlers.
