putrevus Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 11 minutes ago, Lord said: Vijay Shankar is better suited in Tests. I can't believe they didn't try him and carried Rahane etc in SENA for years. he is as useless as they come, are you kidding, Rahane in his sleep is better batsman than Vijay Shankar. That should say the quality of Shankar. Link to comment

That should say the quality of Shankar. Not by much. Rahane was struggling himself. Vijay would have offered bowling in SENA after Hardik quit Tests. Link to comment

I don't think so, Rahane against fast bowling was very much okay even in 2020.Rahane's problem always was consistency and spin bowling, He could play fast bowling.

Nikhil_cric Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 37 minutes ago, Lone Wolf said: Impressed with Dube... Not a belter of a pitch. Tight enough technique on display af as defence. He may have issues hitting big vs Pace (looks improved now) but jeez we are desperate for a pace bowling A/R in tests. Should be on the plane to Australia as a 4th pace option + A/R in Perth. Dump Shardul rn. @Nikhil_cric he is a poor man's Mitchell Marsh but worth a chance in Perth or D/N game? Interesting choice of format for Dube. His record doesn't say much about his ability in the longest format. Only 14 FC games. But you're right in that we need a 4th seam option. I don't think Ashwin should be ve taken to Australia It should either be seam allrounder + Jadeja/Axar + 3 quicks . Or we should play 4 quicks and get part time spin from others. Since we don't have any seam allrounder options , Dubey might indeed be an option in theory. What happened to that Raj Bawa lad? Link to comment

They kept opening with that bozo Rahul who everyone including himself knew he would fail. Need4Speed and rollingstoned 2 Link to comment

putrevus Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 3 minutes ago, Lord said: When has he ever finished even in IPL? He has not but that should not stop him from becoming a finisher.He has ability to go for shots from ball one. It is has been bizzare selections under Dravid ever since has taken over. he has no clue how to build a team nor has any clue how to even change batting order to pose different questions to the opposing teams. They kept selecting Avesh only to discard him in last moment before last t20 world cup and he was again brought back to team fold recently. Samson should have become defacto keeper once Rahul was gone but they added Jitesh only to muddy the waters. Today they could have batted Samson at number 3 and let Tilak bat at number 5. That is problem with coaching and inconsistent selections. Link to comment

Tilak is not a no. 5 either. Link to comment

He is not a natural stoke maker.Sampson List A SR is 90.He is much more natural stroke maker. There is no reason for selecting him over Sampson. Everyone in batting order is interchangable.

Bhai itne jazbaati bhi na ho ek innings ke base pe ki sidhe Perth me hi khilane pe aa gaye. 120 ki pace se Perth me kya ukhaad lega and we know how he bats against a half decent pacer, will be a walking wicket against those Aussie pacers on Perth track.
