Just how long can a team afford to carry a low SR batter like this?

[sandeep]

There is simply no way a batsman can be considered to be of international calibre if he is simply incapable of scoring runs and just tries to survive.  This ends up destroying the team momentum and puts pressure on the other batsmen who invariably end up getting out due to the blockathon at the other end.  

 

With a score like 24(139) Kane Williamson is just showing that unlike stars of the game like Cheteshwar Pujara, he is just not good enough.

Williamson is hardly better than Pujara in away games.

And yet one is considered part of the 'fab four', while the other is perpetually being attacked and pilloried as barely good enough for test cricket.

For all IPL and WT20 stars in the team. Khali ek trophy bhi nahin , siwa ek ke, chale aate hain Test cricket ko dekhne. Pujara ftw 

[Number]

There have been only a few  occasions where I thought Pujara really unnecessarily bogged down like Sydeny test day 2 last session.
