zen Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Currently, Rahane is averaging 41. After coming out a cropper in the recent series in S&E, the SENA specialist is supposed to pick up the mantle in A. Will he be successful in moving up his test average or will it decrease (may even fall below 40)? Discuss .... Vote in the poll Edited October 7, 2018 by zen UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
express bowling Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Rahane has been poor in tests in the last 2 years. Problem is ... despite this poor run, we have not developed a new batsman for the No.5 position. Vihari was not tried in this test. Plus, we have a newbie, Pant, at No.6. In this backdrop, it is difficult to exclude Rahane from the squad to Australia ... although he deserves to be excluded. Vihari should get a game in the 2nd test.

Good thing is that Shaw-Pujara-Kohli look good so we can leverage on their good form to bring in Vihari to see how he goes .... Rahul can be hot or cold too so can even bring in Agarwal for the 2nd test UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 His form is majorly in downtrend going by averages. It will be a very tough for him to average over 45, which he did at one point of his career. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

He has averaged 50 to 60 in individual series though in some sena series. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Ankit_sharma03 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 at this point , rather dropping him....ways shud be looked to get him back in form Rahane in form overseas is a huge bonus IMO Virat shud sit on bench in 2nd test against WI, him playing gains nothing as he will only make runs But if he rest rahane gets to bat up n vihari also gets a game, In subcontinent its better to bat up rather at 5 specially for rahane who doesnt enjoy spin at start. The kind of indiscipline WI have u never knw rahane might get back in form. Also captaincy may also help WC2011INDIA and SecondSlip 2 Link to comment
SecondSlip Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) The Australia tour should be his final chance. If he fails there, then he should be dropped from the test squad altogether. Lets see what the “SENA Specialist” is really made of. Edited October 8, 2018 by SecondSlip AuxiliA 1 Link to comment

Vote in the poll it has to be after the AUS series .It is the most perfect scenario to identify the problem with Rahane. If he shines there he would prove every criticizer wrong and that he was just being himself in his weaK zone . If he fails , then it can be confirmed that he can't be relied upon in the long run.

Straight Drive Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) 15 hours ago, Nikola said: There you go. I remember checking on cricinfo and even on tv. To gradually build up average of 51 after 29 tests in wonderful. Shows how flop he has been in last few years that the average has dropped considerably and he has not been able to maintain the standard he set at one point of time. Tough ask but that's what is required at this level. From this generation of batsmen, Virat Kohli has managed to sustain the top class average over 50. Cheteshwar Pujara has average of 49. Should have more players with significantly better career averages than what the remaining guys are managing so far. Edited October 8, 2018 by Straight Drive UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
