yes coz pandya contributes in 2 dept

A batsman who once fails with bat is of no use

So if atalent like kallis took so much time why wudnt have half a talent like pandya wont in such tough condition, atleast he has shown some perfomance

Why to keep stats asie arent those perfomances, whe u wanna prove how kohli is the most successful captain dnt u use stats when it is evident that he is a foolish captain

Pandya does not contribute in two depts , if he did he would be playing today . Kallis once he got his bearings right , he just took off which Pandya will never be able to do that is the difference, Pandya if he plays 150 tests also he will be the same bits and pieces player.

 

I rate Kohli as best captain not becuase of his stats but becuase of his ability to motivate his team to fight.He might be a worst tactician but those tactics are overrated.

Breaking News: Cook finds form- decides not to retire.

So far, Jadeja hasn't been able to outperform a struggling Ashwin 

 

So far, left arm slow =    

[CG]

Pitch it up he will Knick it

Draw is still a good result for Eng. Ind would need to win as it is 2 tests behind 

[zen]

all hopes on @Forever Indian to change things for Ind on Day 2 as he is expected to be at the stadium 

[putrevus]

This has been a brilliant spell from Shami, he has been unlucky not to get a wicket.

If I were Eng, I would shut the shop for Ind by batting for 2 1/2 to 3 days .... what is the hurry

so who took a fifer in 6 overs in 3rd test and made 93 in SA 

Kallis reached avg of 35 in his 24 test and his bowling stats werent gr8 till long and he played a lot at his homw

So pateince, pandya has only played 11 and yet top play a few at home 

 

 

Motivate team but news are coming team is not happy with him, infact rahane, vijay has regressed under him 

[Sachinism]

India unlucky not to have got more edges?

Hearing the bowlers are consistently beating the bat

[zen]

do we need lucky players

and we have dropped 2 catches as well 

[putrevus]

Jadeja would have been better suited for last test and Ashwin with his variations would have suited more for this test. Ashwin has shown he is incapable to sticking to basics.

And if Ashwin were playing here, Jadeja would have been better

Let Curran complete his 100 too .... D2 and D3 are usually good for batting

That 5fer was fluke which he proved the very next test much like his 93.I have all patience for youngsters but not for bits and pieces players who will never get better.

 

Vijay is done thats why he regressed, captaincy has got nothing with it.

3-1 ahead .... Eng araam se khelo
