India tour of Eng - Tour Match, Chester-le-Street (3 day match)

[Lone Wolf]

Will never understand why Jadeja usually starts like a Tailender?  He has to think of himself like a proper batsman these days.

Jadeja's first class average is better than Rahul's. @QuarantineTormentino Another entry for your thread maybe?

He never belonged in international cricket. He's here thanks to his Andhra selector MSK Prasad.

He was killing it in domestics with an avg of 60+, that's why eye test is also very important.

Indeed, just blindly going by stats is incorrect. I've never seen Vihari score fluently ever.

Why go for first class averages, just look at international  test avgs, even there Jadeja is leading.

KL can be accommodated either as an opener or, provided the TM summons the courage, in place of Pujara. Have liked the way he's approached this inning so far, played straight, late, and close to the body.

Radical but I think KL should be slotted at 6 - we need to have someone coming down who can take advantage of the old ball and attack the second new ball. Often we're left with the tail who simply just give up without any fight.

I think Andhra was playing the plate league back then

Correct. Very poor by Rahul.

There was a time where he was touted to be his namsakes successor

Nice to hear he's trying to play late in these conditions

[Lone Wolf]

Problem with Pujara is we know he will fail on a Seaming track but we also know he is incapable to bat well on a good pitch too.  His batting against spin is absolute joke these days. 

At least Rahul will be handy in such a scenario.

I'd love for him to become a test player. Even if it means he sucks hard at IPL and other limied overs

I still thoroughly expect clown to not play Rahul on August 3rd

Remember Pant scored a 100 in the tour game against Australia A? Saha was preferred over him for Adelaide.

[neel roy]

This proves one thing. When ball gets old it’s easy to play. Now if we have pujara we wont even score when the ball gets old when we need to.. 

[Ankit_sharma03]

KL is not only among runs but also scoring at good rate
