This raises by interest in Eng tour sharply

 

if Bumrah leads we have a great chance

 

 

I'm hearing is might be Gill.

 

I wonder if Shreyas will get picked in the squad as well and be named VC

Best batsman does not need to be the captain.

I know but you can’t make a keeper who  under performs under pressure as a captain  in Pant.

 

You can’t make Gill captain either without him being able to justify his place as batsman first.

 

We are not making Jaiswal captain yet , we are making him vice captain. How he does in leadership role will determine if he is next captain.

Who was the VC in the BGT Tests where Rohit sat out?

Kohli I think. He took over once Bumrah limped off on the last day

India can always use their trump card.

Anderson took 700+ Test wkts and was contributing till the very end. Whereas Rohit was instrumental in losing us our first home series against NZ and lost the BGT due to him showing up for the series.

 

Fatty should've retired from Tests some time back, and should've been kicked out of the team after the NZ series humiliation along with Kohli. Both of them are shyte in Tests for a while now with Kohli being a no-show for almost 6 years now!

ENGLAND TOUR MIGHT BE A TRAIN WRECK NOW

When one door closes, another opens, always. Someone is waiting in the pipeline who may go on to become someone equally/better than Sharma. 

 

All things aside, thanks for your service!

Rohit Sharma's Test career will remain a case of "so mucb potential, so little achievements".

 

For somebody who started his career with back to back Test centuries and was often hailed as a great potential, he delievered much less than promised. Yes, there were some great moments mostly in Indian conditions, but only one hundred in SENA and disastrous records in Aus and SA suggest him to be a very average Test cricketer. 

 

The retirement came a bit late. He should have quit as soon as we lost to NZ at home. But anyway, it does look like BCCI must have pressured him to leave. At the end of Aus series he was adamant to continue, so definitely some messages have transpired from BCCI to him.

He redeemed himself somewhat with solid batting in quite a few home series, contributing to our dominance at home. He should have retired from tests also after the T20 WC win. And should have announced his retirement from ODIs as well a month or two after winning the Champions Trophy. 38 years old, overweight and slow, and batting from memory with the odd good performance here and there - how long can a player carry on like that?
