Time to drop Hackohli?

[CSK Fan]

The main issue seems to be ... our young batters maynot be as serious about tests as the last generation. They are obviously talented. But have to focus on too many formats ... others being easier and more lucrative. I don't know whether the ongoing and future generation of batters will have the required motivation for tests.

Switching from IPL to T20 to test mode might not be very easy

[sourab10forever]

yes drop him only for this remaining one test from the playing XI

[peterparker]

rohit sharma is the most inferior batsman in the entire squad, but desperate times need desperate measures. we need to drop jadeja and gambhir and either pick ishwar pandey and rohit sharma my lineup for the next game vijay pujara rahane kohli rohit ashwin dhoni bhuvi aaron ishant/shami pandey

just for the purpose of writing, rohit is made an inferior batsman. what if dhoni's tactics make him to look like this? We know how bowlers struggle under him, if could be possible that batsman too may not have their say under his schemes. could be possible. Time will tell the actual facts of dhoni's captaincy. At present, though, he has improved a bit on understanding the role of keeping fast bowlers in the side. Let us see how he will select the batsman in the future. Earlier, one day bat used to get selected. raina was given a long rope.

He is a class player but just need to show some patience. He loves to drive the ball especially' date=' especially that cover drive. He needs to avoid that. Just he need to look at sachin and how he scored that 241 at sydney with out playing a single drive through the off side. Kohli need to show that type of temparement if he indeed the successor of the great man. Just having talent is not enough![/quote'] He has lost it, the way he got out in the 2nd innings of the 4th test clearly shows that he as a technical issue. Raina used to get holed out in the same manner. If that would have been a bowled on bouncer, it is understandable, but poking/fishing around that length, that's a serious technical issue.

Yes they are trying to attack moeen & giving him freebies. That is clearly a dhoni / mgmt plan which has failed miserably.

time to drop cricket fans :P

[kruiser]

if he is "hackohli" what do you call yourself? indian baigan (eggplant) fan?

[surajmal]

Have fingers started pointing towards Anuskha yet? On a similar note, other than the halfling, it seems whenever Indian cricketers get married or a GF, they experience a dramatic drop in form. What the hey?

Ur post refers more hate than knowledge.

Yo Stephen Hawking, we are comparing a players who's scored some 3 brilliant 100s overseas. Whereas you are coming up with a player who plays atrocious slogs in Test cricket. Dinda, Vinay Kumar are all right on top when it comes to working hard or having a lot of determination. Lets replace them with out the current bunch. Saurab Tiwary bhi, I heard he's a hard worker.

Saurabh Tiwary was one of the top run getters last season' date=' carried Jharkahnd batting alone.[/quote'] Vinay Kumar was also on top of the wickets column, right? They might be good hard working players, but not good enough for the Test level. Correct me if I'm wrong but Raina hasn't anything worthy last season as well despite not getting a lot of games.

Regarding Tiwary, I never write off young players. We will never know until he plays because he has scored runs in difficult conditions. I do not form preconceived notions like many others. Same people were saying Aaron is not suitable for test cricket. How do they know? Let them play first and only then form any opinion.
