A short gully to a left arm spinner and that’s exactly where Rahane got out. Will be a travesty if he gets named in WC squad. Mayank any day over him. saik 1 Link to comment

GolGappe Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Watched first session. Mayank looked so much in control from ball one. He is going to be a boss in Indian conditions. If Rahane belonged to a smaller less influential state, he'd probably by in some sort of low level management position at a local bank by now. Here he is, guaranteed pick in test XI and almost on the verge of making the world cup squad. Edited February 12, 2019 by GolGappe Link to comment

Before making his India debut, Rahane had almost 5000 runs@65+. Was an outstanding talent, couldn’t have scored those runs, majority of them at home, without being good vs spinners. That he has had a steep downfall in last two years has been most painful to watch. A guy who should have been in top 3 batsmen globally performing like an average batsman and unable to work out the technical deficiencies. Link to comment

Pls remember that his avg outside Asia is better than sub-continent (at one point in his career) He is one the better batsmen i have seen who played for India... Pls show some respect. He will bounce back.... But he should limited to test matches and should be allowed to play ODI's Making him play all formats messed up his mind and technique Link to comment

You sir are a retard, Rahane averaged 60 n was the most prolific batsmen before he made debut.yes he is not an ideal T20 or Odi bat , the same people who were sprouting **** about Pujara. Yes selections were biased and based on regions , caste n religion before.Also because on higher class people n people in bigger cities could afford n excel in cricket those days among other things. Selections have been more on merit these days as selectors can't hide their bias clearly now.What is scary these days is Management firms like Rhiti owned by Dhoni in the past n Sajdehs firm.Also undeservingly Dhoni being in the team for last 4 years is pathetic Edited February 13, 2019 by MCcricket Link to comment

Career average of 40 for someone who plays half of his innings in sub-continent is pretty dismal. Complete sh!t-stain in 2017 and 2018. That's not a poor patch, that's 1/3rd of his career. 2019 Sydney test - Same story. Average 35 home and 45 away. Take out WI and BD and that away average also starts to look very average. Although can't see him doing much against present WI bowling attack either. One meaningful inning per test series to hold onto his place in the side that's pretty much the story of his career. He has been shockingly poor as supposedly's team second best batsman. Dhoni pretty much told the world that he has no place in limited over set-up 4 years ago and yet the chairman of selectors think he is good enough to be considered amongst top 15 limited overs players in the country.

You really think he should be allowed to play ODI's? There are 20 better batsmen available to selectors than him in limited overs format of the game. express bowling 1 Link to comment

Going back to your quote why he was selected initially coz he average 60 in domestic n was most prolific batsmen, that's why I called you a genius Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Disappointing to see such pitches. Lifeless pitch for what should be the topmost highlight of our domestic season. Ranji pitches were mostly quite quite good with some help for bowlers, this one is low, slow, with neither pace, bounce nor turn. Had some turn yesterday, but now not offering any help at all. Same story in the India A match as well. Waynad was a bowler's delight all through the Ranji season, within a matter of couple of weeks, they olled out an absolute flat beds. And same happening at Mysore going by the scorecard. Cold have used the opportunity to popularise both the really picturesque venues. Edited February 13, 2019 by ShoonyaSifar Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Watched the highlights. Saw something very strange. For the dismissals of Faiz Fazal and Atharva Taide, Umpire Nandan was making caught behind/caught by close in fielders based on signals from the square leg umpire (who was completely blinded). The square leg umpire was almost banging his finger on the other palms as if pleading Nandan to give those as out! In the end those were right decisions, but have never seen something like this in earlier domestic matches. I can understand the leg umpire indicating bounce in case of LBW shouts or whether the catch was taken cleanly but how can the Square Leg umpire make a judgment on ball hitting bat/gloves?

ShoonyaSifar Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Again a wonderful fightback by Vidarbha. Their keeper i an interesting one to keep an eye on. Looks like a very tidy keeper and his FC stats are phenomenal 1200+ runs@58 Link to comment
