Permanent damage by winning against a weak South Africa

I am glad somebody brought this out. The world cup debacle must never be forgotten and shastri must be held accountable. Its about time that a shift in power takes place. Too much has been given to a few little, like Dhoni, kohli and shastri. Under these rotten apples, we have a joker selector dancing to their tunes so he keeps his position. 

Waiting for the day Dhoni and Kohli are shown their place and Shastri is kicked out permanently.

A loss against this weak opponent in lois would have done world of good in the longer run

Im feeling sad for future prospects like Pant and Shaw,both of them will be lost in wilderness just because we'll be deluded by performances of their replacements,but im sure these guys will be rendered useless when we tour SENA  again

More than that. Jadejas bowling form has gone down but TM are convinced he's a no. 6 after scoring runs against hapless Windies and Saffers. They'll play a lineup with Rohit at the top , Saha 6, Jadeja 7, 3 quicks and Ash in Enzed - where the ball doesn't turn at all. Batting will be heavily dependent on Kohli and pujara and both jadejas batting and bowling will end up being ineffective on those pitches.

It's going to be a long wait of another one or two years. But even then there's no guarantee that there will be any considerable changes.

Yep, despite winning the series comprehensively, it is India that is the chewtiya here. Dada please pull some tricks out of your hat and remove Bewda. I think Prithvi Shaw's career might have prematurely ended, some by fate, some by this stupid actions.

Part of WTC...120 points gained

Consolidated #1 ranking...test mace all but guaranteed next year

Takes impressive home streak forward..what is it now, 26-1 :clap:?

Scars inflicted upon Proteas, warning to other teams

All round performance

Legendary keeping by Super Saha

Rohit the opener, Mayank scoring 100s, hostility of quicks, Kohli's rut ending, Rahane continuing resurgence, spinners doing well

 

Whining and worrying can come later, now is the time to celebrate the GOAT home test side (when you take into account home records of all sports still we will come out among the top). You realize what an honour it is for others to play a series in India, pinnacle of the sport, toughest test in their lives like playing Nadal in Philippe Chatrier. 

 

Some negatives no doubt, but need to relish the good stuff. ODI/T20 mein bahut problem hai 100% agree, 1 months before NZ tour there will be legit concerns about our SENA blunders from last cycle...right now home fortress is impregnable so sit back and :giphy:

Losses in JAMODI/T20 format is ok, there can be positives to be gained in setbacks there. But test losses (or draws at home) no way, we have to be ruthless. How can there be damage by winning a test series 3-0, against a top 5 side?

there is no *ing longer run in sport.

 

its winning every game that matters. Development needs to be done in development territories ( domestics, a tours, less value internationals/trilaterals etc).

not sure  permanent damage or not .... one thing for sure .... this TM concentrates more on being ruthless at home  there by ensuring the no:1 ranking  intact than better performances in  SENA countries. The results achieved  by them in SENA countries have been far from  adequate given the bowling strength this team possess. All they could achieve was a 2-1 win vs AUS  with Smith-Warner duo absent and  with toss playing a vital part . At the same time a lower ranked Srilanka thrashed SAF 2-0 in SAF convincingly(chasing huge scores in 4rth inns  in both tests) which is an emphatic testimony to the inadequacy of this  TM.

 

For them to have attained  at least some legacy would depend on the next round SENA tours. If they can win at least '2 out of 4'  in SENA

they can be said of  having reaped the fruits of their long term strategies .To be more precise,   Rahane,Pujara & Rohit have been part of this TM's long term plans  and they have  played a  huge part in the results in SENA as of now.Moving forward , if the 3 of them (Rahane,Pujara & Rohit) can turn it around  in SENA in the next round ,TM  then can justify their  legacy. Other wise they would have proven  to be a big disaster. 

 

Fans still are not convinced with Rahane,Pujara & Rohit  because of them being  highly inconsistent ,especially Pujara & Rohit  .So , a lot depend on these 3 to determine as to whether this TM was being  efficient or not

Who cares about WC? I enjoy tests more now that Shami and co. bowl with more freedom and send stumps flying.
