nevada Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Neither Dhawan nor Rohit will be dropped. So here's a crazy idea. How about sending in Rohit as opener with Dhawan? Rohit will fall for a low score in the middle order anyway. So why not take a gamble with him as opener? He has opened and played long innings in ODIs, maybe he can pull it off for once in tests too? Vijay can come in at 3 so that he is not batting too far away from his usual spot. mishra 1

I just need numbers to agree with me and unfortunately for you those numbers are on my side. Explain to me why according to you this statement is false: 16 + 16 > 1 + 13 It is always about performance not emotion or nostalgia in your case. Numbers for u my frends..... 8 hours ago, Trichromatic said: Current form Dhawan Last 3 tests - 37 Last 5 tests - 47 Last 10 tests - 46 Rahul Last 3 tests - 42 Last 5 tests - 56 Last 10 tests - 59 Dhawan ain't ahead based on even the current form. Current form just means current friendship. Btw, since Vijay will fall victim to current form BS as Kohli will try to be saint. Vijay Last 3 matches - 61 Last 5 matches - 51 Last 10 matches - 44 I can bet that Vijay will be dropped and Dhawan will staty even though Vijay has better "current form". Before anyone mentions the conditions in first test, Rahul and Vijay played 4 test against Aus on pitches where our ATG batsman was outscored by tailenders. yea one test is a sample that a score of 16 to prove its better then a guy who has a lot more overseas

Doubt that. Going without a spinner in a test match in dry weather is biggest Chutiyaap you can do. All it requires is groundsman uses the roller few more times during inning break and pitch becomes minefield.

Thats what m asking what has dhawan done head to head against vijay in Sa, ENg,Aus, NZ Vijay avg 37 dhawan 27 Now no one will take one test as sample , wo bhi jab 16 ka score ho aur saath men drop catch

Vijay is not the man.
diga Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Maybe Dhawan should play the next test too.. at least we will be spared of axe weilder for next overseas series
saik Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Ashwin is not needed if it is a green top.4 pace bowlers + extra batsman

SecondSlip Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Same combination. Just bring in Rahul & Rahane for Dhawan & Rohit. Silva 1

Ankit_sharma03 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 5 batsman + 5 bowlers + 1 all rounder .....always as simple

With sun baking down pitches often turn flat and can crack up on last days so u always need a spinner Ashwin has done better then our extra batsman, batsman bas kagazi hia

Sgattick10 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I say play Rohit and Dhawan in next 2 matches as well and then drop them permanently ( cos they'll sure shot fail). I'll be okay with that.
