Austin 3:!6 Posted August 21, 2023 Author Posted August 21, 2023 For Dhawan - few failures and out you go. For KL - umpteen failures, injuries after injuries but still being persisted even accommodating him as keeper bat Double Standards?? Sgattick10, raki05, nitinbwj and 1 other 3 1
jf1gp_1 Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 We took half fit hardik, bumrah in recent years which backfired. Varun was another blunder made few yrs back. One can understand dhawan picking injury during last wc no one can prepare for that but this KL selection will be beyond most fans. raki05, nitinbwj and Frustrated 2 1

Who can replace Pant? Why should Ishan play in the middle order.Let him open and let Rohit bat at number 4., he is slow starter and is not giving any momentum to the innings. Rohit is giving statements on how team should be flexible.Let that start with himself. Edited August 21, 2023 by putrevus BacktoCricaddict and rollingstoned 2
vvvslaxman Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 Anyone who is not picked for Asia cup was going to have chance getting selected for world cup. Rahul Dravid doesn't want that. So he probably played a role in selecting half fit Rahul.

After talking about flexibility, Rohit has clearly said that flexibility does not mean openers will come in the middle order or the other way round. It only applies to non-openers. raki05, cricspirit, tweaker and 2 others 5
