Rahane's test average

[coffee_rules]

We can't go to Aus with a MO of

 

Vihari, Pant, Bhuvi/Pandya/Jadeja especially when we have Shaw, KLR opening. Rahane needs to be there. He will come good.

[Tendulkar1996]

Rahane is washed up,i cant remember the last time he scored a big hundred.His 'come good' is at best a fighting fifty.As the heir to laxman's spot - its simply not good enough.Try vihari/rohit(yes rohit is better than him as long as its not swinging,he can handle spin and bounce much better).Eventually anmol or gill will replace him.

 

Rahane looks timid and always defensive in mindset.We already have a character like that in pujara,we dont need more of it.Pant is a breath of fresh air in that middle order.Pandya is a joke,but we have no options.We need a solid number five.Hoping vihari can do it,otherwise maybe rohit.If both fail bring in anmolpreet or gill.

Rahane rides on his avg: of 40+  to  stay in the team. That's why it is such a make or break series coming for him, the AUS  series.

 

Even more so with the hack Pujara because, if he fails, that would be the 8th series in SENA.

You cannot ride on an avg of only 40   .... Dhawan avgs 40 too

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. 

Iirc, in the last two years, he is avg only 26 in SENA .... his failure put pressure on newcomers batting down the order

if you take note  you can see that  i didn't vote in the poll.  Firstly i don't agree with 'Don't take him to Aus' . Secondly other 2 options are not my cup of tea because  I badly wish him to succeed  for the sake of 'team' only. Just telling that he deserves his  chances there. If he fails , his place in the team should be in serious trouble  as far as I am concerned.Not only that , now that Pujara is selected for the AUS series(which i badly wish didn't happen  because of him being undeserving in my esteem)  I badly wish Pujara too would

perform brilliantly too this time for the 'sake' of the team . Rahane & Pujara both are same for me, 2 totally  unfamiliar men. What all matters to me is as to whether they deserve their places in the 'Indian team about which only' I am concerned.

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  

probably mayank may also play with rahul and prithvi in third test, could be ahead of rahane as only he looks out of touch.

Do we have inside info on that?

Correction to the Thread Title : Rahane's Test (career is) Average.

Seeing our bowlers and captain complaining so strongly about SG ball on it's early softening and thus making it very easy for middle and lower order batsman.. it is in this context that Rahane's lack of runs is even more deplorable..

[zen]

Considering our schedule in WTC 2019-21, it is important for us to win in every game in Ind 

 

 

Gone are the days to consider using Ind series as a practise for tests in SENA. Players like Rahane, if they don't perform in Ind, could turn into a liability

Adelaide Test 

 

Hazlewood to Rahane, OUT, edged and caught at second slip! Another booming drive extracts the edge! This was full and wide again and swinging late, he drives on the up, gets a thick edge that flies high to second slip and Handscomb takes another good catch above his head with two hands! Almost a carbon copy of Rahul's dismissal

AM Rahane c Handscomb b Hazlewood 13 (31b 0x4 1x6) SR: 41.93

74% think that either Rahane avg will decrease after Aus series or he should not have been taken to Aus in the first place

along expected lines I think, given his rubbish form.

[Sandeep99]

This guy had one fluky season. That is all. And we started hyping him as some kind of god of away conditions. Such a noobish game. Not sure how these guys train.. they never correct their basics..

[Straight Drive]

Apart from Virat Kohli all replacements of Fab 4 are duplicate versions with just 2-3 years of good form in whole career. The odd peak probably raised false expectations.

[GolGappe]

Disappointing little rat.

Plays one good enough inning per series to hold onto his place. 

Listen to his bloated interviews and you'd think he is the second coming of Sunil Gavaskar.

 

Both Rahul and Rahane are skating on pretty thin ice. Rahul has batted in much more difficult conditions than him

 

If Rahane doesn't deliver in second innings, Vihari will take his spot. Shaw's injury and Vijay's flop show may save Rahul for now.
