Dhawan is a flat track bully : Cullinan.

I wonder how BCCI and its selectors work.. Dhawana clearly struggled in SA, NZ, Eng in tests and ODIs and we still picking him.. These are his last three test match scores which he failed.. caught in slip most of the time if I remember correctly. We dropped him for last two test matches due those failures but it doesnt go against him and we still pick him. Dhawan will fail completely in tests in Oz.. Someone talked about mental strength.. but you need skills to survive and then use your mental strength to go further.. He doesnt have skills to survive. He survives in ODIs cuz of field restrictions and flat pitches so no surprises there.. I would rather open with Vijai and Rahane as openers.. Dhawan opening is disaster waiting to happen.. I'll be really surprised if Kohli picks him for first test and then more surprise if he survives beyond 20s or 30s..

He did well in NZ Tests.Even Kohli and Pujara were poor in England.If they can get backing,with one of them captain,why not back him for a bit?

Australia Tour is a great challenge for Dhawan to prove himself outside the sub-continent......if he fails then he is certainly a FTB

Past cricketers can say anything they want. Onus is on the players to prove them wrong. we call players FTB all the time.

Dhawan got dropped from NZ ODIs at the later stage.. and then his first test was disaster and then his second test had century, but both innings were filled with chances.. check those tests again and you'll know.

Shikhar dhawan scored a ton in second innings of 1st test where he got a couple of chances. Then he scored 98 on a green top in the 1st innings of 2nd test.He didn't get any chances in this innings. In the 2nd innings he was given out LBW but the ball was clearly missing the stumps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXrAv-dD8Yk
