shortbread Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) I know Kohli is India's best batsman and I respect him for that. But as a captain he's been a let down. He's never a step ahead of the opposition, gets carried away by his emotions, clueless team selection policies and I could go on. The Test team needs a level-headed captain and a better class of coach to support him. Edited January 25, 2018 by shortbread SandeepMotta and zen 2
Sachinism Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Maybe if the captain had better support he wouldn't be losing his sh!t. No other batsmen standing up. Once Bhuvi finished his special, his bowlers have delivered filth on a very helpful pitch kira 1

Once Bhuvi finished his special, his bowlers have delivered filth on a very helpful pitch He's responsible for most of it. First of all there is no consistency in the batting line up, Kohli is like a kid in a toy store! He will swap and change again. Then why be bothered about Pujara's positivity? Let Pujara do what he does best, the guy wasnt called into the test side for his strike rate, was he. Then Rohit Sharma.....ok I dont want to go there. Then comes the bowling, why drop Bhuvi? He's a class above the rest. How does Bumrah get to play every game instead. Why not play Ashwin? He's good with the bat and provides variety with the ball. Kohli isn't suited for test captaincy.

Shunya Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Would give him a chance to go through a full cycle of away tours. IF he accepts defeats with humility and improves its all well and good. If he continues to be arrogant and shows his usual fake false bravado to cater to dumb fans, than he deserves to be stripped of captaincy and all powers. adi B 1
Tattieboy Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Rabada has 259 test runs at AVG 14 On a greentop with seam he has Faced more balls ( new ball ) than Vijay, Rahul, Rahane, Patel, Pandya put together. Also scored more runs than Vijay, Rahul, Rahane, Patel, Pandya, Shami, Sharma put together. I think there is more problems than just the captain!!! nevada 1

Once Bhuvi finished his special, his bowlers have delivered filth on a very helpful pitch When everyone is playing a practice match, how will they perform. They stuck with Pujara for 4 innings and finally he scored 50. Dhawan played 1 practice match (1st test), Rahane (3rd test), Rahul (2nd test). Pujara played 4 innings and finally scored 50. Pandya played all matches and scored 1 fifty. Vijay scored 46 in 2 test.

Who is advising them to bowling short. First test they were too full and it took them 1 inning to realize that they have to be shorter. Not just captain, need a better coach too. Khota 1
Ankit_sharma03 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 he was a better test captain then odi captain, if anything we needed a better ODi captain But neways 1 yr before the Wc is not the time and in test cricket no one else is even a permanent to become a captain So we have to live with kohli for one year and he also needs time to learn. At this point we shud just hope he learns

Lannister Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Ever since Shastri was appointed as a coach, their fate was sealed. You cannot expect anything other than mediocrity from this lot. Need a strong character to question Kohli. Edited January 25, 2018 by Lannister

No, he is by far India's best batsman. But he doesnt have the maturity to lead the test side. India would be nowhere near what it is today without Kohli's performance with the bat.

They are international bowlers, Indias supposedly best , they can't work out In the field best length to bowl? They need someone off the park to say pitch it up? Excuses for them being poor bowlers

Obviously Kohli should remain in the team as a batsman but not as a captain. He doesn't have the intelligence and charisma to be the captain of a national team.

Our captaincy option in test cricket is very limited Bhuvi can play everywhere, I hate this 'lack of pace' hyperbol. Hardik doesn't deserve to be in the team simply based on 'positive attitude', let alone captain it. On sub continent pitches our spinners dictate and pacers do the supporting role.
