Nah, you needed things like an epic choke by SA when 30 is needed of 30 balls,.that doesn't happen all the time. 

 

Luck plays a huge factor too.

Yeah ifs and buts.

 

If they win they are better, otherwise they are worse.

Our batting standards have been very low in the last 5 years. Rohit was Andhon mein Kana Raja. 

 

Batting standards weren't low. It's just that the selectors never gave others a chance. When likes of Kohli, Rohit, KL Rahul and to an extent Rahane and Pujara were automatic selections despite failing more often than not, you can't blame the batting standards. It was a selection failure. Performances of Nitish Reddy, Sarfaraz, Jurel, Jaiswal etc. has shown that if youngsters were given a chance and backed, we do a lot better.

Already 37, if he had announced retirement that day in Barbados, history would have remembered him so fondly. 

 

All the good work undone in last 4 months, steepest fall for any cricketer I can remember, and not just as a player. He'll be abused by one and all when he finally calls it quits, that will be his legacy.
