He is in the team becz of a remarkable feat that he has achieved.  Can you guess what ?    Averaging nearly 35 after playing 60 odd test matches.  How many indian test openers hv achieved such a thing?  

You still don't get it.

I think that is the lowest average for an indian opener to hv played more than 50 tests.

Vijay is averaging half run better than Rohit Sharma in tests.

Rahane saved himself with that innings. But is that enough. He needs to make up for all the failures he had in recent times.

Yes atleast a 100 needed to make for all his inconsistency

At this point he is good only to bash these B Grade county teams.  Let him have some fun there. Should have never been part of the squad. Make no mistake. I always liked his compact defense in few of the overseas tours. That was a very brief period. 

Agree.  He was good for few years. That's it. Shouldn't have been in squad. Total waste of spot.

Time to move on from him

But but he is so good. He scored so many runs.

A specialist batsman averaging 38.47 in tests is good. Standards have to be very low in that case.
