Trichromatic Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 When will he be dropped? When he averages 20s? Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Averages 23 in last 15 tests. express bowling 1 Link to comment
Number Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Pretty sure he would fail to make into BD test XI with that form but he is captaining India. express bowling 1 Link to comment
sarcastic Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 30+ average is not that bad although we would expect specialist batsmen to score at average of greater than 35 and up to 40 ideally. An average of 23 in 15 test matches seem very low by any standard. Unless Rahane improves his game and scores atleast 35-40 runs per dismissal, he is wasting a spot in the team. Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Pujara averages 29 in last 20 tests and 38 in last 44 tests. Link to comment

That's bare minimum. 20s is average of bowlers who bat higher than other bowlers. So why not give chances to those young batsmen. Link to comment

Rahim, Sakib & Tamim all are better test batsmen than phoney irrespective of his form. It's a disgrace he has played so many tests for India & on top of that even captaining the side. Absolutely no accountability in Indian cricket. Number and raki05 2 Link to comment

I doubt that especially considering this is the average over all the places they played in and not just in India. In any case, Rahane has been touted as overseas specialist but he did not do much in the last cycle and now it is time to replace him. Link to comment

express bowling Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I doubt any other Indian batsman has played 50 tests on the trot while averaging 32. There is something fishy going on. There is something other than cricket involved here. Frustrated, rollingstoned, asterix and 3 others 6 Link to comment

raki05 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Atleast senior before had staggering avg around 45-50 and they declined only during last 2 years of career and than rightly drooped) retired. These parasites are surviving since last so many years with this pathetic average. asterix, nevada and express bowling 3 Link to comment

"He's too young to be discarded, he will be back" is the theory saving these three for so long. They are either massive age fudgers or just got used to the freeloading lifestyle. express bowling 1 Link to comment

Yuvi played 40 tests with that kind of average and he had to make a comeback. No one plays this bad and doesn't get dropped. rollingstoned 1 Link to comment

That Lords century dragged his career for few years and when everyone was adamant of dropping him, he got that MCG century. Now he will play for atleast 2 years due to that Melbourne century. sensible-indian, Laaloo, LordPrabhzy and 1 other 4 Link to comment
