Popular Post narenpande1 Posted January 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2018 1) Rohit should never play an overseas test for India. He is not a test standard batsman in outside the subcontinent conditions. 2) Rahane unless he is woefully out of form should be a permanent fixture in overseas tests. 3) Play 2 practice games before the 1st test. 4) We need an average plus keeper who is a test standard batter for the long term. 5) Hardik Pandya is NOT a test standard bowler. He can bowl a few overs. His batting is 50-50. We should play an extra batter or Jadeja/Ashwin in his place at all times in overseas conditions.

tweaker Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Captain should select the best team, instead of going for X factor, strike rate etc Edited January 27, 2018 by tweaker Adi_91, Mosher, Gollum and 3 others 6 Link to comment

tweaker Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Catches win matches. We can't win after dropping 12 catches in the series beetle, Vilander, speedheat and 5 others 8 Link to comment
Cricketics Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Agreed with all the points, adding number 6. 6.Be patient with the captain, he is the best we got and we will win big in England and Australia. Boys played well Turning_track, Adi_91, diehardpacer and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment

Test cricket is like portfolio management adi B, King Tendulkar, GoldenSun and 2 others 5 Link to comment
gattaca Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Catches win matches and ask lower order to practice batting. Link to comment
chewy Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I would stick with Pandya, in Shastri’s words he has been “mercurial”, especially in field taking big pressure excellent catches or runouts example Amla’s catch in 1st and 2nd innings King Tendulkar and zen 1 1 Link to comment
gattaca Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Pandya too the turning point catch of Amla. He is very valuable member AuxiliA, zen and King Tendulkar 1 2 Link to comment
zen Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Point 4 is also iffy as Ind can’t afford to lose wkt taking opportunities so would need an excellent keeper, esp when spinners are on Probably a LOI influenced point Edited January 27, 2018 by zen abc and Gollum 2 Link to comment
Tridibans_16 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Rahane missing the first two tests was the difference between us winning 2-1 and ultimately losing the series 1-2. Vilander, beetle and SG1994 2 1 Link to comment

He looks like he belongs in international cricket Add shankar for options for having variety. He is good enough to play as batsman King Tendulkar and speedheat 2 Link to comment

Funny enough, his attitude and all does remind me of Pakistani ex cricketers. Link to comment
speedheat Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Never underestimate our bowling especially pace bowling ofcource except ishant!! Mosher, Laaloo, Adi_91 and 1 other 4 Link to comment
speedheat Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Disagree with 5th point we should stick with pandya still a learning curve for him AuxiliA, mancalledsting and adi B 3 Link to comment
wanted_desi Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 -Don't select Rohit, Dhawan for next series. -Select 4 bowlers on pitches that have some assistance. Jimmy Cliff 1 Link to comment
mishra Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Kohli should keep all Sharma's at poles distance on overseas test. Dhawan should be used to make drinks after game Straight Drive 1 Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Not convinced about pandyas value ..he is neither the 6th batsman or the 5th bowler. Cant afford to have Saha and him in the team. Saha is a weak bat overseas. He will come handy in flat pitches only. Link to comment
diga Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Even Gavaskar acknowledging the problem of selections... did not mention Rohit even once in his post match analysis Edited January 27, 2018 by diga Link to comment
diga Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 what happened to the practice of a selector accompanying the team overseas? Link to comment
