Thats if we are assuming if those guys will do better then him

Shaw has his technical issue

Gill i dnt think so he opens, nt sure

aggarwal in terms of talent is not close to rahul

 

Ill still back rahul, he wud come good in Australia.He shud enjoy those pitches 

Rahul has bigger weaknesses from what i see. Also he is too vulnerable when it comes to surviving. He just doesn't know how to survive tricky periods. We need a survivor with talent.

[Kothili]

Slotheshwar gone.  Should have kept the scoreboard ticking with singles.

got a 50 plus partnership while we lost an early wicket. it is not just bonus runs. better than any batting effort that is lacking in the lower mo when there is no threat from ball or pitch.

Have you seen how the ball is behaving now?

[mishra]

4-1

All batsmen have weaknesses. Rahul is just going through a bad patch. We have no alternatives anywhere close to his potential.

Ball is jagging around a lot. Tough passage of play. 65% chance INdia will leave India in absolute doldrums by the end of the day.

Who can survive? You need some luck to survive

May be for one dayers. Test matches i don't see any potential in these conditions.

Shaw has huge issues and even mayank has habbit of playing far away from body and avg 17 in A games in ENG

what makes u think others wnt have that , KL is no less of a talent

Art of survival also comes with experience and all 3 are short of it 

 

M all up for giving them chances atleast now when dhawan shud also be out, but dnt wanna assume that they ll be better for sure 

Next series rahul, mayank, shaw shud be selected

Dont want Rahane to score in this dead rubber, the series is gone anyway. Hope he fails and he is replaced.

[vvvslaxman]

Rahane is not giving me any confidence. Missing regulation inswingers.

4-1 will be a shameful scoreline for the world no 1 team

in these conditions even kohli strugggled big time on his 1st tour 

Rahul has scored a 100 in Aus , so he isnt a lost cause .

This " no alternatve" theory is loosely used to give oppprtunity to mates. Allthough i still feel Rahul can still adjust his game in coming years

[vvvslaxman]

This is  where Rahane's lack of subcontinent flair hurts him. Most subcontinent would put those balls away for fours.

[Adi BB]

Stfu harsha ,no one is interested in your blabbering 

[mishra]

We will be lucky if we come out of thus session with loss of just 2-3 wickets

[Sgattick10]

Hahane gone.

That was more of a mental thing. 

[sandsaims]

There you go. I hope he is dropped, just doesnt deserve anymore chances.
