I consider this as confirmed news given that these 2 are bigger than cricket in India

The confidence with which Rat and Vadapav are abusing and mocking detractors....they have made up their mind that like 2023, ek aur baar world cup harakar hi jayenge 2027 mein.

 

2027 planning will happen this year...either they are not in the mix or they are...they are saying they are...matter ends there.

 

 

 

Both of the bsdiwala shat in their pants in BGT. That fatty asshole was dropped despite being Captain..

Smith is 2-3 years younger and has retired already. These two are badly declined and still won't quit. They should be given an ultimatum and sent packing. 

 

And then when you consider who is sitting out. Parag, Abhishek, Jaiswal etcetc. 

 

Players looking to get in their prime.

Selfish and short sighted

Let us hope that they are merely bluffing until IPL season is over and will quietly retire after it. 

[diga]

We need IPL to be staged in SA to have some match practice

Haha the arrogance and privilege. Abusing in front of 100s of camera after failing whole tournament against B-C attacks. One worthy innings where he became deer caught in headlights once the pressure mounted. 

It shows poor upbringing as much as arrogance, to be honest.

 

We all are adults and we can cuss in frustration from time to time with close  buddies , but to do it at the cameras, when the entire country is watching  - it classless. 

 

 Rohit will be booted out 1 year from now.

 100 %

They  have gone to three different finals and won two in three different tournaments.People still are not satiated.

 

They have been the most consistent team in all formats.

Australia while already on an amazing winning streak dropped the Waugh brothers in 2002 ahead of the 2003 WC. They went on to crush all comers in 2003 and 2007. 
 

Smith retired after Aus got knocked out in semis knowing that he won’t be at his best in 2027. 
 

A national team cannot be constructed and planned for at the whims and wishes of top players. 
 

Both will be 40 or around 40, it is idiotic to expect that peak performance in modern ODI cricket is possible at that age. 
 

If our talent cupboards were bare, one could still make this argument ( however lame ), but they are not - we are flush with talent.

Steve Waugh was not even patch on these two.So dropping him was not big deal, he had played one world cup too many.

 

Mark Waugh retired.Steve Smith again not patch on these two.

 

They are the reason why India has been consistent threat in all tournaments in last decade since 2013.They never had the help to reach to summit till now.

 

I don't see anyone better than Kohli for number 3 spot in 27.Rohit as a captain has been lucky for the team.Let us if he is fit for 27.

 

Kohli is a must if he chooses to play there.

 

So called flush talent cupboard will get their chances in 2026.

 

Why are people in a rush to push them out.People need to stop this madness.

Kohli and Jadeja will be 39, Rohit around 40 years and 7/8 months old and Shami (real age ) also will be 40 +

 

Will be very poor if any of them make it to South Africa. 

 

 

The greatest ODI batsman of all time will be there and no one has the aukaad to stop him. You can keep making your analysis till then.

And Jaiswal, Abhishek,Parag will face second Season blues which everybody from Kohli to rohit faced.2.5 years is long time let's see .

[sandeep]

Forget 2027, both Rohit and Virat have no business playing in ODIs or even tests beyond this current year.  Utterly selfish if they do. Selectors need to make the tough call and let them know.

You may not have seen the twin innings by Steve Waugh , one a 100 and other a 50 against South Africa which was the main reason Aus won the 1999 world cup

It is common sense not madness.  It is absolutely retarded to think that we can have 2, 40 year olds in our top 3 for the world cup.

 

Nobody can fight time. Nobody.

 

Ponting scored a brilliant potentially matching winning knock against India in the 2011 WC Quarters.  Australia lost and Ponting soon played his last ODI knowing he will be 40 for the 2015 WC. Ponting was 35/ 36 in the 2011. I think he played his last ODI in 2012.

 

Ponting was infinitely fitter than Rohit and as fit as Virat.

 

It takes a couple of seasons for new players to settle into roles and to have the right team combination and strategy. 

 

We dont play as many ODIs due to T20.  It makes absolute sense to boot them out ASAP if common sense dictates that their fitness and reflexes will wane significantly in 2.5 years - especially in the case of Rohit.

Atthe very least one of them + Jadeja needs to go. Jaiswal has to be brought in and we need a pace based all-rounder in place of Jadeja. Someone like Nitish Reddy and Venky Iyer should be in the mix with Parag as backup for Axar's spot.

I saw both of them.1999 Aussie domestic circuit was loaded with players who were better than him.

 

One or two innings no matter where they come don't determine the quality of any batsman. 

 

Steve Waugh was not even decent odi batsman forget being good. 3 hundreds in 325 matches prove that fact. That is why they kicked him out before he could ruin their 2003 world cup in 2002.

 

Even broken clock is right twice in day.
