I think Pujara should be dropped for Eng series..  He is not getting any younger.  Vihari is also done.   Give home series to a guy like KL or any other deserving player. 

Pujara will make sure we will lose on Eng tour this year as well.  Stroke less wonder don't work in this day n age..  Unless you are batting on ultra fast Indian outfields. 

Pujara Rahane & Vihari are the culprits of today. 

there is no need to drop him. Pujara showed us in the past that he is better than this.. this is his slowest 50 anywhere which means, its not a skillset problem.. some one can speak to him to come out of shell and rotate strike better.

 

KL for Pujara is a joke, first rahul needs to play some fc matches and show that he fixed his technical issues

Pujara gets out early wheb the conditions are challenging and kills all momentum when the pitch is better for batting.

I disagree. See Southampton test. He was absolutely perfect in that test. Even last time adelaide.. he was doing good with Pant

on other end who can score boundaries..

Nope..  Let me tell you some facts about fraud Pujara..  He has an average of 29 in Eng,  20 in NZ,  31 in SA,  20 in WI & people dare compare him with Dravid who is light years ahead stroke maker. 

 Give Priyank Panchal a go vs Eng or Even Easwaran.   Pujara doesn't deserve to get easy rides at home anymore. 

Pujara doesn't have technical but timing issues.  There is a reason dude wasn't able to score in County where he wasn't able to put balls outta 30 yard circle.

There is no issue with Pujara when a team can’t bat 4 sessions with none of the 9 out of 11 players not getting a 50 and many throwing their wkts away or displaying a lack of presence of mind .... If Pujara is an issue, I would rather take that - a guy putting a price on his wkt and playing proper test match cricket than most of the other guys  

Putting price, [emoji23] bc kitna price put karega, sulane Ki bhi hadd hoti hai,putting price is one thing, but doing tuktukathon and putting pressure on other bats is another, you do realize this is the best wicket to bat in Australia, and yet you are going into shell putting pressure on urself and others, he could easily have scored another 50-60 runs which is roughly 110 of 174,rahane ,Rohit, vihari,rahane posted 50 odd in 180 balls you need to score 50-60 runs more that's 100-120 taking overall score to 350-360

Sau baat ki ek baat, can we find other promising batsmen like Gill for tests ? If yes, they should be playing and then these occasional players like Rahane & Pujara can be replaced over a period of time. Replacing one will let the other know not to take their position for granted.

 

Please don't tell me the loi strokemakers should replace them.

I don't understand how can anyone defend this shi* show of batting.  50 off 176 balls means either you are playing for draw or its a mine field.  If you can't score then sorry u don't deserve a spot.  Even when a new batsman came &,  it is a pity that we have too many stroke less wonders..  The scoreboard was going no where coz even Pujara was not doing anything let alone new guy Vihari.  This 50 by Pujara has done more harm than good. 

[Lone Wolf]

Some of the shots that Pant played showed that if you have decent defence & strokes you can score runs..  too bad he was injured & then his focus was off.  Stroke making is the key.  I think we need another left hander in middle order to take on bowling.

Bro, it's not that difficult to understand.  Most of those defending pujara's shitty inning on this flattest patta ,hail from that region.  (I assume.  And that is likely the case)

I don't wanna get into regional bias but on purely cricket instinct that was a poor knock.  I don't think Pujara could do anything coz he is a stroke less wonder.  He missed so many half volleys.  He has timing issue that anyone can see.  On fast Indian outfields he easily manages that. 

 

Giving him another home season is a blunder coz he will then be dropped midway on Eng tour & a rookie youngster will debut who would be under the pump.  Instead why not give chances at home to a promising player before taking him abroad?  That's common sense.  Guys like Bhogle will continue to defend pujara & making fools outta people.

Abey Chaudhary,there is a thing called transition, problem with both pujara and rahane is both are woefully slow,you need to start transition sooner rather than later,not Just in test but ODIs too, Dhawan,rohit in odis and pujara,rahane in tests aren't getting any younger,you dont want 2011 kind of scenario again ,so need to inject young talent ASAP

gill is a special player, u dont find special players every day

Too many inconsistent and meek cricketers in this test team. Need a wholesale change.

Momentum is not just a theory, playing dead slow on good surface gives more confidence to the bowlers and fielders. Aussie batsmen played in the same way in last match and lost

 does not account for 9 out of 11 batsmen not putting their hand up 

[goose]

hey, at least we had the greatest comeback test of all time at Melbourne!

Wrong priorities for this team. Search for risky singles with so much time left, prefer 6 packs over catching ability.
