Still manages to get runs in ODI format' date='but needs to be dropped in Tests and T20's.He will come back stronger[/quote'] jesus ****ing Christ,the sooner we agree he is completely out of form the sooner he will be dropped from the Indian team and the sooner he can get better by playing in the Ranjis .This is not about format,just watch him play and you will see a man who has lost it.

Not his fault that 8 out of every 10 ODI's are against SL
Then he should be selected only for matches against SL.

Stats of all Indian batsmen are inflated because of the regular SL bashings that they hand out,no fault of theirs,the point im trying to make is Gambhir cannot be dropped in ODI's unless he fails completely in a series but in Tests and T20's there's a valid reason to drop him care to find out Rohit's average excluding WI?:giggle:

He is very fragile against good pace bowling. His backlift is now so short that you wonder how he would play any shots against pacers. He is worried about getting late while playing pacers on fuller deliveries. His backlift now reminds of Akash Chopra. Let him play bowlers like Kulasekra, Thisara who neither have pace or bounce, he will thrive on them.

The most worrying part is in close to 20-22 months that Gambhir has been struggling for test form, he has not played a single domestic FC match. The last domestic match he played was in 2008. With KKR out of the CLT20, he should comeback to India to play for North Zone and Delhi to regain his form in the longer version.

Whose average drops by 22 points after removing one team and minnows? Would you like to give some examples? Rohit is not considered very good ODI player and his place is not fixed like Gambhir's. While Gambhir has almost always been part of the team whenever he is fit, Rohit has played only 85 ODIs in more than 5 years.

Yeah and even after that he will automatically get chance in India-England series.
