That is very obvious.

This aint an easy pitch to bat for openers, dhawan wud have been worst. 

No matter currently vijay n rahul are ur better option and they have to backed, whereas dhawan shud be kept back in delhi

[Straight Drive]

Neither do i have faith in Dhawan, nor in Rahul nor in Vijay in such conditions. All 3 of them are crap in this series. But they are the 3 best openers we have so we have to keep playing andhoon me kane raje wala game. 2 out of the flop 3 have ot be picked sadly.  Just count the runs they score at home and enjoy. Forget overseas scores.

ICF seemed to have lot Of expectations from Vijay. M Vijay was never too good a batsman. Don't get me wrong one thing kohli did right is not dropping Vijay. He was the best option we have /had.

Also the guy avg 60 in Aus

Dhawan sucks. At least with Rahul we have potential. The mucchad is useless outside India.

Also the guy avg 60 in Aus 

In India we have a bad habit of looking only at stats.Last time we got good batting tracks in Aus decent in eng and sa.Lyon and Moen destroyed us .This time we got bit of juice on tracks and we failed.

He is the best leaver of the ball i have seen in a long time for India.

Between this thread and watching Dhawan give his wickets away is where hell lies for India fans.

This series was very tough for openers. Top class bowling attack in helpful conditions.  

[Khota]

Some people have no clue about sports. They have not done anything at high level. They dont know how things get executed at highest level. If I have to point at one person who was the worst so far it has been Vijay. Dont look at cricket stats as they are done incorrectly. Scratch the surface and see what it reveals.

Dhawan > Vijay and Rahul.

 

Time permitting I will post recipes for making crow. I am rushed right now.

Vijay is more experienced at test level, as compared to Rahul and Dhawan.  Plus, he plays only one format ie test.  unlike the other 2 openers.   So, Vijay should get most of the blame and not the others ,for his failure in tests outside subcontinent.

We got greener pitches than this series last time at Lords and Old Trafford.
