Straight Drive Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Only Chet and Virat i would say. Link to comment
ThePhenomenal1 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Kohli's batting selections in Dhawan and Rohit have backfired big time. Link to comment
jusarrived Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I repeat , Rohit + Dhawan and 5 batsmen on this pitch ..gifted the match to saffers Link to comment

Trichromatic Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 2 minutes ago, New guy said: Pujara is useless overseas It's the competition of who is worse. Dhawan - who can't bat outside Asia. Pujara - who can't score big outside Asia Kohli - who can't survive on tough tracks Rohit - averages 25 away and still gets into team.

In fact, if we had bowled better in first innings and chose the right lineup, we would have been chasing 50 runs in 4th innings (thanks to Pandya's incredible knock). But no.......Kohli had to go and * it up for all. Link to comment

Now after such a successful home season and facing ridiculous Lankan trundlers at home ,our batsmen had a false sense of belief that they'll just turn up and score easily on saf tracks,but it doesn't work like that. OTTOT no practice game arranged . These guys now have to work extremely hard in practice sessions before the next test and kick out rohit and dhawan first!! Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Problem is that there is no opener we have who can perform better than Dhawan, Vijay and Rahul on such wickets. They also will do miserably with bat in similar situation. We need some opener who is quality and better than these 3. Some opener should be playing county like Pujara and maybe that guy will do better than these set of openers on such wickets. Link to comment

We will be lucky to avoid white wash in SA and Eng. Maybe will do well to draw a test in Aus as the wickets there are roads. Let's not be so harsh, but accept your point that for next match dhawan,Rohit ,Saha, Ashwin need to be dropped Link to comment

He took 2 wicket, got 1 run out which almost everyone in the team seems to be missing. Link to comment

Lets not put a proven performer in VJ and future potential in KL with some one like Dhawan , who everyone including Virat probabaly knew was going to fail here Link to comment
Tridibans_16 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I still don't understand why Rahane was not picked! If he is not selected for 2nd test, I fear genuine fans like me will forever lose interest in this team. Its stinks of buddy selection and not fair selection. Link to comment

goose Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Kohli (like Ponting) gets forward or back with conviction and as a result has the balance to turn defence into attack and vice versa. The rest of our batsman are caught in no mans land. Link to comment
Turbanator Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I can't believe a guy who averages 70 in SA has to sit out for a guy who averages like 12 in the same conditions. Link to comment
