Rahane should bat ahead of Rohit

[Trichromatic]

He looks calm and composed, much better than Rohit. I guess batting with Kohli or Pujara will help him more than batting with tail. If Rohit survives, he can hit few big ones while batting with tail.

[maniac]

Agree with Rohit being a better No 6

[gaurav92]

Yup, no brainer.

[rkt.india]

If I define Rahane on this tour in one word is that he has looked "composed." He certainly has exceeded my expectation after the way he had batted in his first test in Delhi. He played an excellent innings yesterday amidst Steyn storm. He now certainly needs to bat at 5.

:hysterical:

[flamy]

Yep, no doubt.

[Old guy]

Just need to get pandey and ya dab in side now and we have perfect side possible :p

[SLICKR392]

Rohit's better to bat with the tail as well. Perfect spot for him.

[cowboysfan]

Batting is almost set with several non-performers not there anymore wonder how many games we have to suffer before the bowling attack also gets sorted

He can act as mentor for that On field he is just not that good to warrant place if he can't pick wickets

[Old guy]

Batting order is almost set with several non-performers not there anymore wonder how many games we have to suffer before the bowling order also gets sorted

There are easy fixes Spinner spot is taken now and ya dab will come in next who is good enough in tests IMO and shami too is good enough Team looks very good tbh even if we lose here it's bcos other side is best in game and we are still finding the right side and most players have grabbed opportunity

yeah so frustrating to see batsmen's hardwork go waste again & again on many tours :wall: hopefully this is the last test Ishant has played in a while:pray:

agree.Pankaj deserves a shot too do we have a good left armer?(not Unadkat):hmmm:

[cowboysfan]

just imagine how bad Yadav must be bowling in the nets for them to go to Ishant again and again.

The problem is even one good bowler can make a lot of difference,just imagine the horror if we had Vinay in this tour instead of Shami.How long will it take Dhoni to realize that we need to try some other guys in the bowling department instead of this Ishant:banghead:
