deepdynamo Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 14 minutes ago, Lord said: 40? thats 7 more than his career average lol Yes, highly unlikely but then we don't have anybody else opening in England. The bar is 40 for KL in 2025. If he can't acheive that, it should be the end for him. Link to comment

deepdynamo Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Just now, Lord said: Why not try youngsters like Sai Sudarshan? Even if he fails its an experience. Better than backing deadwoods Can't have Sai or Easwasran playing directly in England which is the most treacherous for opening batsman. If Rahul fails in Eng, discard him immediatly. New blood in home test then. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 5 hours ago, Lord said: opener to no. 3 and back is not huge change. Pujara used to open for us at times. Anyway he was in middle order before this series and only made opener to fit him. That average after 50 Tests is worse than even Jadeja. That is why. I was even willing to go easy on him. But SCG knocks are disasterous. No business to get out to. Also he never converted the starts. Link to comment
maniac Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 So mediocreee. 1 innings per series even Sarfaraz would have delivered. Unbelievable this is his 3rd time here. Lord and BacktoCricaddict 2 Link to comment

He will inevitably go on the Eng tour for 3rd time as well and after his once in a series decent knock will average c30 again. Lord 1 Link to comment
Ultimate_Game Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I would pick Rahul in the team and play him in the 1st Test. His best performance comes in the 1st Test and usually helps us win that and then goes missing. As soon as he has his one trademark performance, drop him and replace with some other batter.

The Dark Horse Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I won't blame Rahul this time. He should be a sure starter. Lord 1 Link to comment
