The Dark Horse Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 Shastri+Sunny+Manju combo will make sure he plays the WI series.
rtmohanlal Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 Pujara and Rahane are both short term options as of now, as was Vijay. But sooner we find adequate replacements in the form of exceptional talents we need to phase out them, especially Pujara. With Rahane at least his record in 3 out of 4 in SENA is still great. But his record in last 2 years is a bit off.

We have the current version Sachin in Kohli. For instance it is doubt ful whether to call Dravid so much naturally talented, but his technique & temperament!!!!!!!!! Similarly Ganguly & Laxman were like duck into water in ENG & AUS respectively. Sehwag far far better version of Pujara.So i basically meant to trace out those sort of batsmen.If the system can provide 4 such players with in a period of 5 years, why can't it do it again??? But.. of course the effort of trial and error needs to keep on continuing till such players are found .

Sent from my vivo 1601 using Tapatalk what does exceptional talent mean? Tendulkar was exceptional talent. Viru was exceptional talent. Shaw could be an exceptional talent but he has those glaring weaknesses which are hard to overlook. Regarding Gill, will not judge him at this point. Let him play some FC cricket first, only then we can say whether he is an exceptional talent or not. Edited September 12, 2018 by rkt.india Switchblade 1

vayuu1 Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 Shaw has flaws but he admits it and is working on that he himself knows and is working with Dravid on that what does exceptional talent mean?

SecondSlip Posted January 8, 2019 Author Posted January 8, 2019 BUMP! Innings: 45 Average: 29.74 Centuries: 1 Rahane should no longer be an automatic selection in the starting XI. It's time to give youngsters a chance now since our "SENA" tours are done. Real McCoy and express bowling 2

He hasnt been at his best but has improved in last few mnths and next tour is in WI where he shud play and kohli shud be rested so a youngster like vihari gets his chances Pujara has also finally come good overseas.....so lets wait on rahane to. He is a quality player . Already Vijay n rahul have lost their places and kohli workload needs to be managed now ....need some exp as well cant have all youngsters
putrevus Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Rahane needs to be kicked out of the team, I have never liked him, he needs to go. SK_IH 1

The so called "SENA" specialist was below average in both England and Australia. Nothing needs to be said about his home record. A youngster can't do any worse than this. He will at least be good on home pitches which Rahane is not! Real McCoy and Laaloo 2
The Realist Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Yup time to move on to younger and hungrier players who don't already look defeated. He's had his time in the sun and wilted badly, had more than enough chances and as the difficult overseas tours are now over till the next cycle its the perfect time to try out fresh talent. Real McCoy and SK_IH 2
Laaloo Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 We have so many better options. This guy is so undeserving express bowling 1
diga Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 In one of the other threads, I mentioned that the least expected of the vice-captain Rahane was atleast 3 50s from 4 tests (~7 innings). Is there a mental block for him batting at 5 ?

Tendulkar1996 Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Time to move on and blood gill asap.We visit australia in nov 2020 again for 4 tests,5 test tour of england july 2021,South africa in dec 2021.Gill and shaw should be established by then.We SHOULD NOT carry rahane now and then face a renewed middle order crisis. By the way i think future tours programme between dec 2020 to dec 2021 is insane and a blot on bcci planning.
