Clear proof in frames. The angle of bat is bound to be like that given a open stance as elbow has to be aligned with the foot. Otherwise it is a big mess to have elbows positioned differently. But such adjustment like open stance are done by players themselves. Miandad was fine example with a very open stance which worked for him. If coach has done that and player is facing issues and speaks with coach that he wants to revert then I doubt someone like Bangar will be strict about it.

Will watch it some other day. He needs some good scores this series, else he is a goner. Else lucky to play 32 tests for India with batting average of 37. Major teams cannot accomdate low average batsmen like Rahul and Rohit. I think Rahul should be dropped on current form, but it should be noted that apart from the fab 5-6 era (Sehwag, Gambhir, SRT, Dravid, Ganguly, Lax), we have always had in our cricketing history at least 1-2 batsmen in the top 6 who avg below 40. We seem to be returning to that era again. Reminds me of the early 90s lineup with players like Sanju Manju Straight Drive 1 Link to comment

Lucky we at least got Virat Kohli who is proper replacement of that quality. Even with Sunny we had Ashok Mankad, Salim Durani, Dilip Sardesai and Ajit Wadekar. Vishy and Vengsarkar were wonderful , but then apart from them and Sunny the cup board was bare. Good we play lots of A tours since last couple of years. Should look for players from those squads.

We cannot compare current era with Sunny & Sachin eras. Sunny era was one in which there were only a hand ful of domestic players to select from. During Sachin era it changed a lot with cricket getting to even remote villages and BCCI becoming such an strong governing body in every sense. Currently, it has to be the pinnacle with manifold quality domestic players to select from when compared to that of Sunny era. Yet instead of batting unit getting much stronger from Sachin era, it has degraded much worser. All credit to moron Sastri,Prasad & CO. Edited December 6, 2018 by rtmohanlal Link to comment

It was better in the 80s - Sunny (to a lesser degree), Amarnath (the outside India beast) and Vengsarkar. Our current lineup outside SC, IMO, is akin to the 90s. Link to comment
