So in your opinion Indian batting lineup should remain unchanged in 3rd and 4th test ?
Lone Wolf Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Lol automatic selection in Tests now. Those Steyn's words are true till this day for Rohit. Still seniority culture will never go away in Indian cricket. Mosher, express bowling and beetle 3

Mayank still averages 50 in test cricket & still think he's good enough to smash spinners & an older ball. Rohit fails at both these things.
Gollum Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Rohit hasn't played any form of cricket since IPL final, previously no great feat in Aus. What if gets king pair in 3rd test, will he play at Gabba as well? Pujara is a sure starter, why would you take VC role from him? * Mumbai lobby. Real McCoy, sandsaims, tweaker and 3 others 6
Serpico Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Why put even more attention and pressure on him, if he fails it looks even more pathetic now
sage Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Rare smart decision by the team management. Would have preferred Rohit appointed captain but I can understand the difficulty after the last game. Finally putting his Archimedes-tier intellect to use in test cricket. raki05, tweaker, Norman and 3 others 3 3

So like Shaw even Mayank is unable to handle an incoming delivery. Plan now is to turn him into a middle order batsman because he might be able to handle Lyon better an ofcourse starc and cummings cant get him out because ball is now old.

Let him focus on his game and let him be selfish.
express bowling Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 His selection in the 11 should have been kept optional. This is unnecessarily closing an option cowboysfan, raki05, Mosher and 4 others 7
Majestic Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Rohit Gill Pujara Rahane KL Pant Jadeja Ash Bumrah Siraj Natarajan
rageaddict Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Both Captain as well as Vice-Captain from Mumbai Indian Cricket is in safe hands now. Sgattick10, sage, Norman and 2 others 1 3 1
Frustrated Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 Vice captaincy has been snatched from pujara. TM is giving clear message to pujara that either he performs or perishes. Good decision. However, giving vice captaincy to Rohit is wrong. They could hv made Jaddu vice captain. asterix 1
kubrickian Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) How is he vice captain ? He is not even a regular in the test side. He is completely unproven as an opener in tests in foreign conditions. Opening the batting at home is vastly different from opening in SENA.

Mayank's dismissal in the 2nd inns.. Suggested that he has overcame that weakness of ball coming in. Also the back lift was adjusted as well. It was an away angler from Starc & in the context of the game.. India was looking for a fast start &, he threw his bat at it. Shaw has bigger issues to deal with. They should have persisted with Mayank. Though I'll be happy if Rohit proves me wrong but him being a TTF for a decade it's not hard to see him getting out for a single digit score. nevada 1
