Parthiv Patel just dropped the morale of the whole team...

Fickle.......things can turn around if he plays a match winning innings. He is a very aggressive batsman when he gets going. 

With all that he has done in this test and the past, he owes Indian fans the innings of his life and save some grace for himself, but the guy who chickens away with a sight of catch must be $hitting bricks in his pants when he sees Rabada charging in to launch rockets on him on day 5, i remember the dialogue from GOW "tumse na ho payi"

Its fault of management, they knew one drop would be a game changer. They derserved it.

The ghost has returned to haunt us again, the drop machine Sir Parthiv Patel, reminiscing the memories of 2003 Australian series, this guy doesn't just drop catches, he drops big moments in the game, he drops momentum, he drops morale, he drops everyones shoulders, the worse keeper behind the stumps to have played for the country, its a shame that our cricket just doesn't move ahead, but we choose to take 3 steps backwards by going back to tried and tested failures like DiKhead and Parthiv Patel.

But he makes up for it by scoring runs!

Not sure what it is. Maybe Kohli just doesn't like quiet shy type of people like Saha, Bhuvi, Chepu, Rahane.

Yes I do see two different camps. Ashwin Rahane Vijay Rahul Saha bhuvi Pujara - Shy reserved types are always in danger of getting dropped. This gang may also have supported kumble.

We all know Ashwin and buvi got in cause ishanth and jaddu were injured. And vijay somehow hit 2 centuries against Srilanka else he would be sitting with rahane now

Pappu is an interesting case. He is neither the best keeper in India ( Saha , Ojha) not the best keeper batsman ( Dk, pant, Samson). He just lies in between. Worst selection

 

How is DK's keeping?  I know he is a mental midget but he is a much better bat than pappu. Still remember his classy knocks as an opener in England.

Pappu still leads the pack of Worst keeper of India

And he appeals for everything and convince Kohli for the review,

bumrah? in between.he has took both wickets this innings. if he hadn't , we would be crying together

Yet.... an avg: of 33.66 as of now in this series.Not top gear performances like Kohli,Bhuvi & Ashwin

[rtmohanlal]

Once again underlining the same statement.Never expect much from BCCI & team management.One is bound to get disappointed time and again.They know Saha is the best 'pure keeper' in the country who rarely misses 'chances that can cost lots of runs and negate what ever extra runs a better 'batsman keeper' can put on the board.They knew Saha was brilliant in the first match  as a 'pure keeper'(his primary discipline) and he wouldn't be a failure in each and every outing with the bat in the 6 inns he would get to bat.More over they knew  'getting played in the first test would have helped him a lot for the remaining tests'.Yet they dropped him for the proven failure Parthiv who was the main reason for bottling the once in a century oppertunity in AUS in the 2003-04 series.
