chewy Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Yesterday it was embarrassing seeing Rahane in the field, all fielders were taking orders from Stokes, Butler and especially Steve Smith These three would be in discussions without involving Rahane, he stood by quietly Man he should have taken charge and told them to shut the fe ck up, and he is in charge And btw, Smith needs to be dropped, has been hopeless just like Rahane with the bat express bowling, beetle, sriniwu and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global.Baba Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 You see the same thing with SRH as well with Warner clearly calling the shots or Williamson when he is playing where the only thing Bhuvi seems to do is run and give advice to Sid Kaul and the results are there for everyone to see. You think guys like Kohli and Dhoni want someone with a voice to play under them. There is a reason why these meek Rahanes and Bhuvi types have survived so long despite mediocre performances.

SK_IH Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Rahane and Steve Smith have no place in the team for sure. Rahane just gives this loser vibe whenever I see him lol Edited April 12, 2019 by SK_IH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 He was reluctantly nodding the head. But what i saw was, SMith was trying to make his presence felt so that he gets more ODI practice before world cup. Actually when he captained India he was not that bad. Looks like he is suffocating in this "Australian Atmosphere" which was originally set up by Shane warne. beetle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR should get rid of Shane Warne first, this guy somehow fluked the 1st season and rode on it's coattails for 3 seasons after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Realist Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) What do you expect when Rahane looks so meek and submissive, its no wonder he gets walked over by others.

At least man up, and if required drop them, as captain you need authority. Stokes has been flop since joining Royals, should have been dropped ages ago express bowling and sriniwu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevada Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Rahane should grow a pair and drop Smith and Stokes. express bowling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowl_out Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Why aren't they playing Ashton Turner yet? Smith and Rahane are similar batsmen. If you have a good hitter that can provide you variety why not use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankit_sharma03 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Rahane n Bhuvi becoming captain is just a show off, inside the dressing room smith n warner are respected as leader. They just dont wanna put them as leader post sandpaper gate AuxiliA, nevada, zen and 2 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuxiliA Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 So what's issue here? Warner and Smith were the former captains of their sides. Warner has done more for SRH than anyone else and commands respect of the team. Smith, while not a great T20 player, was the captain of Australia and has similar stature as Kohli. On the other side we have an international nobody like Iyer captaining Boult and Rabada. And Rahane and Bhuvi are just introverts personality wise. Does not mean they are meek. Unless you associate being overly expressive ( like Kohli's antics) as a sign of mental toughness. sergio04, Switchblade, diehardpacer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
