Yes, Want flat pitches in last 2 matches. Need all our batsman to get runs and feel good about their game.
 

I am pretty sure we can still beat Aus in atleast one of the 2 tests.

 

I would feel more confident of this, if Kuldeep played which he should.

 

He should enjoy the experience of being in a winning BG side.

Confidence of runs under the belt..

Delhi crowd was really rough on the Aussie boys. Mumbai crowd is like that too.
 

Indore and Ahmedabad crowds are not that hard on visiting teams

Cricinfo's hairy and fat Karthik K authors a made-to-order piece on the alleged brilliance of Bharat behind the stumps. There's no one inch of media space in cricket not captured by BCCI/TM.

sometimes you guys just want to criticize for no reason.Bharat has been fine and is getting better.without Pant we really have no other option and if you say Kishan than i have no further comment.

Cheerleaders of mediocrity (to go with a heavy regional bias) like you were peddling the same nonsense that kept Pant out of the team while India carried useless Saha.

 

Kuchh naya maal lao

I have no faith in bharat either. Looks meek ans timid. Happy to be proven wrong. Ishan is a better option. He scored vs fkn Marco Jansen in SA a tour. So did sarfraz khan and even Shaw. Gill ofocurse must play as well.

all bullshit.Pant is my captain for the test team right now.show me someone better than Bharat right now for the test team. 

[SRT100]

Wait for 3D Chess by TM if KL is made wicketkeeper for the 3rd Test.

 

They can then say we dropped KL the batsman, but not the wicketkeeper.

Cummins in Australia as his mother is very ill.

 

I highly doubt he will return especially given Australia have failed to win the BGT and its just another meaningless ODI series to follow.

Kishan isn't mediocre? His first class average is about the same as Bharat. Can't rotate strike, depends on big shots even in ODIs, how is he supposed to succeed at test level? Pant has solid defence which helps him to pick and choose right bowlers to attack

[Nidhibic]

Pat Cummins out of 3rd test suppose to be starts at Indore 

On March 1st.i just read somewhere

No, your cute revisionism nonsense won't fly. You are the sly, sneaky type who was clamoring in favor of Saha and keeping Pant on bench because keeping, technique and all of that filler nonsense that passes for cricketing analysis.

 

Ishan Kishan pisses all over Bharat as a keeper bat. But feel free to cheer for Bharat shaped mediocrity.

I feel your cricket watching analyzing skills are non existent.so there is no hope for you .maybe one day Kishan gets to play and we can all see who is right,after all he is in the squad.

So posts and articles pimping Bharat over Kishan feels like deja vu where word salad is deployed to make a case for the dud incumbent.

Bharat is a steaming pile of trash. He will be average at best. 

Kishan don't get me wrong is no pant but he did take on and smash Marco Jansen in a tour. So that's there.

Midget kishu over meek bharat all day anyday. 

 

Kishu has potential but he needs to sort out the body length issue.

Here's another post by a junkie demonstrating why Dinesh Karthik should play ahead of Pant

 

 

My guess is this poster is partial to just the Tamils like DK, Sundar, and these days Ramesh and does not waste energy on riff raff non-dravidian south Indians LMAO

 

So the conclusion is "I (sarchasm) am an Idiot that who doesn't know anything about me (that woudl be me)" . Thanks for explaining by quoting.

Leaving aside batting his keeping has some holes.

Bharat doesn't look international class, much like Vihari. Saha was way better at least in home conditions.

If KL is in the team in the 4th Test, I will not post a single time while the IPL is on.

 

Now the pressure is coming from all sides. I will be very surprised if they play him. This got escalated rapidly.

Players we have currently are not exactly FTBs either. Kohli fails on flat pitches too.

[figo6762]

We need Australian pitch … give good chance for every one .. tbh .. what’s wrong with that … we will probably get used to losing in the final right now .

He played like 2 tests and you are already stamping him as not international material. Bharat had good A tours and scored in difficult conditions. The conditions were not easy as well. Saha had good top order when he played but there is pressure on bharat because we have worse top order in a decade.

IIRC bharatha has an avg of around 48 in India A FC matches, and has opened for his ranji team. man needs more chances before being dismissed outright.
