He was out of depth as middle order as well.. only spot where he is yet to prove his unworthiness is lower order.
lol that cracked me up..thing is nohit will play all 5 matches in this series because of no replacement in the squad..i'd within seconds send rahane to open and take a risk with nohit at 2 down,with the shine off the new balls and spinners/3rd seamer operating,this jacksh1t nohit may find it easier to get settled,might slog a few in BP

Throw out a guy who has scored so many runs last year because he failed in 2-3 games? When he hit that 200, he was destined for greatness, now suddenly doesn't even deserve a place. As for him not being able to play in tough conditions, runs in Eng and WI suggest otherwise Problem in the team is not him, its with Dhoni's stubborn leadership and the continued selection of Ishant and Ashwin
Who said he was destined for greatness, because he scored 200? He had hit a purple patch. In fact when the whole world was going Ga Ga over Dhawan after Champions Trophy, I kept on saying -- "Hold your horses". He has done nothing yet to prove to me he is great. He has started well, let us see how he carries? Well to me he is completely out of sorts. He got out to a ball which even Kane Williamson was dispatching for boundaries. I seriously question some of these guys' work ethics, practice, how serious they are off the field. Both him and Rohit seem to taking things for granted just because they walloped a couple of weak attacks a couple of times. Not good for me, not good for India.

Since the guy will never be dropped' date=' I rather play him as an opener...atleast this guy won't kill the momentum in middle overs....[/quote'] Start is also very important you can't be 10 of 30 or 5 of 25 always felt his 209 trolled us big time just imagine him opening in the 2015 WC and if he plays like this :nervous:

Agreed.. but this so called super talented, lazy elegance, high elbow, so much time to hit the ball, still head would be stuck to our team till WC2015, atleast he might take the shine away from the new ball, him in the middle overs means, from 180-2 in 30 overs to 197-3 in 41 overs.. I rather have his pathetic start then this pathetic middle overs batting..

Don't think anyone has trolled us for the past 7 years than both the Sharma's. Its painful to watch him open the innings and our run rate being around 2 runs an over or 3. I feel he puts pressure on Shikhar as well.

Don't know how the selectors keep selecting him has been ordinary for 7 years yet he keeps playing
