How many months of rope will this 59 from Pujara give him?

[sage]

Clearly he'll find a way to milk this all he can

[Suhaan]

A disCount of 59 months

[javier26]

For the entire WTC cycle of 2023-2025 , at the very least.

Hopefully longer than whatever Coolie gets?

 

Cannot have 2 different standards for 2 similar batsmen.

Which is why we've been stuck with lots of bad batsman in the last 2-3 years. Because as long as Kohli is playing poorly they all get a shield 

[R!TTER]

It's the exact opposite, BRat gets a longer rope because other oldies are supposedly worse! In the 2-2.5 years just prior to the Eng 2021 series Rahane had a better avg than Brat & also won us the tour to Oz & yet Kohli walked straight back in as cap, can you tell why?

[nitinbwj]

Kohli is doing far worse. Gill, Iyer are not converting starts. Sharma played a clueless innings. So many reasons for this shameful defeat. Dravid and TM 

[nitinbwj]

3 plus 3 .. 6 days more chutti 

[LordPrabhzy]

every 50 he makes he gets a extension of  1 year in the team

[Majestic]

59 months..

[vvvslaxman]

Should be 0.  "Experience".

59 months..

Axar should get 150 months then

[figo6762]

So what would have happened if he had gotten 0 .. was there hope amongst icf that this guy will get dropped ????

[The Realist]

Pujara = the Ishant Sharma of batting. Has taken over the baton of undropability.

 

Who was THE founder member of the original Long Rope Club

How many matches should Rohit get as a captain after this series. He is looking more like useless Dhoni who ran out of ideas when his spinners could not take wickets,

What wrong did bowlers do today? They collapsed australia's batting early in morning. Rohit's move to bring umesh seemed successful as well. Wins against australia are not easy to come and rohit already has 2 which is just 1 less than kohli has against australia in his whole 8-9 years of captaincy career.

[Texan]

Two more years at least. 

 

Sarfaraz Khan can say goodbye to his chances of making Test debut anytime soon.

You can make a monkey captain the team in India and we will still win a lot of games. Where is the accountability for player non-performance? Why hasn't he kicked out Pujara and Kohli yet despite consistent bad performances? Why didn't he rejig the battting order to allow Axar Patel who has been our best batsman under these conditions to bat more? Why didn't he try a different batting order?

 

The only reason KL Rahul got left out was due to the massive pressure from the media and the public in general. Water had gone above head level. Had there been less coverage in the media, KL would have also continued in the XI as usual. Rohit's captaincy seems all about giving everyone (except Kuldeep Yadav) countless opportunities and there is no accountability for non performance.

The Madness that is Indian Cricket, is that Kuldeep should come in for Axar who hasnt bowled well at all, but because he is our best batsmen he must play.

 

Kohli will have failed every innings this series and yet will still play for India, its unbelievable. Thats not even counting is dropped catches.

If you count the runs cost by dropped catches, then Kohli's average will go in negative territory
