I still can't fathom how he completely misses the most basic off spin delivery. Worst case you edge it to close in fielder. How can you completely miss the line. I reckon it's his eyesight, he does were glasses when not playing, he would milk spinners around with ease pre 2019, hardly plays the sweep now, could take a offstump guard maybe, his front foot press gets him into trouble, sachin was a genius man, came back with a new technique and playing style after 2005 scored another 25 centuries.

Its funny to say but if our oldest players like Kohli and Hitman are injured for the Test, India will likely win the Test match. Vijy and BacktoCricaddict 2 Link to comment
coffee_rules Posted June 28, 2022 Author Share Posted June 28, 2022 Rohit s isolated. He is doubtful to play in the 5th test. Who should replace him as opener and captain? My choice is Pujara should open and add a MO bat - Iyer/Vihari to the team. As captain, it should be Kohli as he had captained India in first 4 tests and India is leading 2-1 Link to comment

zen Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Bumrah is the vice captain so is expected to captain in this test (as already laid out by the selectors) Count is also expected to make a comeback. Indian test team without him is incomplete! Link to comment
Majestic Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Didn't watched the warm up game but was Shreyas Iyer bowling part time medium pace in the warm ups? Link to comment

Vijy Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 doesn't matter much which combo plays. I don't see any of our squad standing up to Andie and Barbie in swinging conditions zen 1 Link to comment

I don't see any of our squad standing up to Andie and Barbie in swinging conditions i think nether will play. barbie is washed up has been. andy trundles after 6 odd overs. just need to patient with that idiot. potts is average as phuck. ollie is a trundler overton is good but i dont think he will play and lacks experience but we seem to struggle vs trundlers. maybe stokes trundler will make it hard for us this time. curran did it in 2018. we owned him the next time we faced him. hopefully we can stand up to average bowlers like potts etc. fake shami wannabe lol.

vvvslaxman Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Sam Curran 126 runs in 75 balls in the county. He is slowly becoming an all rounder. He also opened the bowling picked a wicket first over i think. Link to comment
putrevus Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 If so called great bowler Bumrah shows up, India will do fine.But if he stinks like he did in deciding second test in SA then it would be tough. Link to comment

You don't have to avg 50 every year.Kohli's problems are his last three years.The fall has been so dramatic. He needs to go from all formats, But it does not mean he was not a great player. And given his fitness, he may be able to regain his touch. But, he needs to be given a long break to work things out in domestics and train with some batting experts who can dissect and correct his flaws. Then, one stellar domestic season and he can be back. But, hamare yahaan, dropping a longtime player is construed as complete bayzddi for the player. Not going to happen. putrevus 1 Link to comment
