Important question - Will Kohli realize at the end of the series that India needs someone like Gill who can stand at #4 with good technique? Stupid will never learn...

i think its better to accept that as far as kaptaan is there we will see a few more semi exits and same mistakes repeated in cycle.

Pant stripped Starc of *his* manhood in sydney test, in his hometown. But sure, carry on like the cowering little fan of KLR and Samson.

KLR is equally inept. Samson is good. Pant can come good but there's no chance against the rejuvenated Starc with his brand new bowling action. Sorry, not many stand chance.

Starc vs Pant and Iyer - I fear for their manhoods 

I think pant will be okay. But Iyer will struggle.

[Stan AF]

Hahahaha

[RAZPOR]

iyer is pathetic against quality pace,shocking,we need someone better than him.

[Sachinism]

OK Pant will rescue us

 

 

[ganeshran]

This is shambles. This series might be meaningless but its good in one way - to play against a gun ODI team which will expose the chinks in our batting line up

[Vickydev]

Iyer is the new Raina. Minus his strokeplay from the go.

[Ankit_sharma03]

Chance for pant to show what he is 

[ssurenn]

Batting position experiment against a top side like Australia is a stupid decision. 

[vvvslaxman]

No team will look absolutely hopeless just after 5 wickets ilke India. Even Afghanistan has a few hitters down the order.

[nitinbwj]

15 overs left and nothing to come..what a shitty performance..lol

[raki05]

Oh Man back to the square again....Same issue in middle order... Kohli and TM needs some serious thinking they can't come up with this shady approach of chopping changing . What is amazing is most of the changes which kohli make is to acomodate his favoirates , i remember once to accomodate rohit ( when he was not in good form) he moved himself at 4 and Rayadu was no:3 , we got screwed in wc 19 and again he started doing experiment to accommodate his buddy dhawan. 

[nitinbwj]

Rahul has to bat as an opener and should be told to bat at a s/r of 150.That's it.I am still not sold on Dhawan.Kohli at 3 to rotate strike and build innings.Iyer failed today.

[raki05]

super useless jadega has now licence to suck.

I am surprise why they never tried Pant as an opener and if Rahul has to play he should  play as an opener and should asked to play with better intent and not like a coward.

Rahul  is just a limited ODI   batsman  who would get  his customary  50s @  around  85 str: and keep his place in the team.  Pant is the better option.

If he plays 30 balls he would ensure to make 40-45. With Kohli at 1 down  that is what is the most required. Now the entire flow of team  inns is getting

disturbed.

[Stan AF]

I don't think we have beaten a full strength aussie ODI side more than a handful of times irrespective of any decade.

[Nonbeliever]

Good to see Aussies playing their top bowlers.
