Every player cant perform equally in every match. As long as we win and win well, it should satisfy us fans.

 

We cant just drop people who don't bowl a good spell, don't take wickets in few inn etc.. etc.. 

 

People dint want Umesh to play, now that Umesh did well.. Ishant needs to be dropped ..  Jadeja should not be turned into all rounder.. Drop Rahane… Why Rohit played before the first match.. Silence before second match and as soon as he failed, see he cant bat seaming ball..  

 

While batting we want our team to smash everything and while bowling just get them all out for nothing.. lol.. I feel we need a game.. the opposition slugging it out is good too.. Tail scoring can be frustrating but its not impacting the bigger picture in this match.

 

I am happy with our performance in this series so far. 

 

 

This issue arises because we have or had too many condition specific players in our test match player pool ...  like Ashwin, Jadeja, Umesh, Ishant, Rahane, Rohit, Dhawan. Even Pujara used to be one before his successful tour of Australia.

 

No serious fan questions the place of Kohli, Bumrah. Shami, Kuldeep, current day Pujara after a few failures. Or questioned the inclusion of Tendulkar, Dravid, Laxman, Srinath etc.if they failed a few times.  This is because they are / were all-condition players.

 

We need to move towards playing as many all-condition players as possible ... with maybe just one or two condition specific top bowlers.
