wanted_desi Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 There isn’t quality in India. Sad times! Link to comment
Chakdephatte Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I may agree that there is no quality batters in Indian domestic cricket but any random batsman from Mizoram or Pudduchery will fare better than Rahane did in England. putrevus 1 Link to comment

putrevus Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Really Rahane? WTF are selectors doing. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 6 hours ago, Number said: If selecting SKY in Tests for his T20I form was bad, selectors have gone one step further to select Rahane in WTC squad for his 3-4 IPL innings. Indian Cricket at the moment is a circus. The clowns running it have no idea of formats. They are consistent. They picked SKY based on T20 performances. THey are doing the same here with Rahane. Rahane pulled the greatest trick he could do. Got the attention massively with his CSK outings. Trending 3 days on the trot on twitter. Got the attention. With Iyer out of the picture Hahul was going to replace SKY. Much like how PUjara got back into the side after B team bullying in county, Rahane got the attention. Now his job is just to get ahead of KL Rahul. They do not have any other batsmen in the short list. It makes Rahane's job easier. He is going to flop for sure.

SKY's selection for Test series is even worse. They should have experimented some youngsters in that OZ series. Link to comment

I agree, they should have given guy like Jaiswal a chance.These useless selectors have no vision on future.They recalled Pujara and now Rahane, Ishant is next? One off test, Jaiswal is lefty would have given a balance to the side too.Who is behind these selections, Dravid ? Link to comment
ipl is fun Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 may be the selectors should pick Thala (un-retire) for his keeping/captaincy (again based on this IPL) Why not Buvi given a chance or Chahar for their swing bowling Link to comment
Texan Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 I wonder what is the use of having a selection committee if the plan is to only pick the most experienced players who are still active. I guess the only experienced player missing is Ishant, but Ishant has been semi active. Just let BCCI President name the most experienced players as the squad. Performances don't matter at all. No use of having Ranji Trophy. Link to comment
Texan Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 It looks like Rahane selection has taken focus away from other duds in the team. KL Rahul is of course a prime case, Pujara hasn't done any better either. Kohli also has been struggling, barring that one innings on a flat road. In short, with no Pant in the team, we have no batsmen. Probably only Rohit has some decent Test batting form on his side. Link to comment
wanted_desi Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 These Pujaras/Rahanes will be called back into Indian team from old age home, when they score these daddy 100s against other old age XI. Link to comment

bowl_out Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Not the worst thing. Rahane is quality, particularly overseas. He had a terrible patch, but seems to have sorted things out a bit. IPL is no benchmark for this, but he seems to be in a good frame of mind, so definitely not a bad call. I expect Rahane to be in contention for the ODI WC squad at No.4 as well with Shreyas and Pant out. It is travesty to see KL still being included in any International squad rollingstoned 1 Link to comment
The Realist Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Indian cricket is dead. It is now officially unwatchable and deserves zero support. Turn off the lights and shut the door on your way out. Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 the question is whether Rahul can keep the wickets in a one off test match.if he cant then he should not be in the 11. Link to comment
