govinda Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 i think that a strokemaker like pujara should be asked to bat at number 5 we can send rahane @number 3
vvvslaxman Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Actually Rahane's strike rate in Tests is pretty impressive. But for half a dozen bad decisions and bad luck he would have had much better stats.
Shivaji bhonsle Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 He is a failure. The injury he had on his knees changed everything for him.
bowl_out Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 No... Rahane is doing well at 5... Let him stay there... No.6 is the biggest concern now... Stick with Tailunt or get somebody else? Or play Tailunt at 3?

Cricket_Hacker Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Pujara's strokes are not not pleasant to watch like VVS'
vvvslaxman Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Pujara's strokes are not not pleasant to watch like VVS' Ashwin is the closest to Laxman we have on that aspect.
Cricket_Hacker Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Ashwin is the closest to Laxman we have on that aspect. Yes.Though Rahane is in a class of his own.
BeautifulGame Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 We need to find a all rounder for no.6 spot and develop him before our next cycle of overseas tours. Have Pujara and no.3 and Rohit back to Mumbai squad
vvvslaxman Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Pujara is unsold in ipl:(( Not surprising after his display for Kings XI. :cantstop: .
Gollum Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Hopefully not that he isn't in IPL circus he works on his shortcomings and comes back as a better player. IPL/ODI dreams has destroyed his batting.
vvvslaxman Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Hopefully not that he isn't in IPL circus he works on his shortcomings and comes back as a better player. IPL/ODI dreams has destroyed his batting. He neither has bat speed nor has brute power. Even the timing of his shots are not exquisite. He is not cut to be a T20 player at this point. He may change in future. Even Jaddu could not clear 30 yard circle. Nowadays he hits 90 meter sixes when he middles it.
Temujin Khaghan Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 tailunt saved our ass against bangbros. he is not going anywhere why csk pans are bringing batting legend into every discussion??? whole india hates him to some decent level, you guys are very vengeful on him though.

Who exactly is batting legend? And scoring in ODIs mean zilch for spot in test team
rkt.india Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 He neither has bat speed nor has brute power. Even the timing of his shots are not exquisite. He is not cut to be a T20 player at this point.

AmreekanDesi Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Pujara is unsold in ipl:(( that might be better for us in the long term tbh he might get a full season county gig and work on his flaws i still back him to achieve the great form he was in 2 yrs ago and i still believe he wll end up as a greater test cricketer than kohli
India-KXIP fan Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Vijay, Rahul, Rohit, Rahane, Kohli are certain selections at this stage for tests Do India need a specialist 6th batsman in Asia seeing how convincingly they beat Aus with 5 batters + Keeper + Ashwin? Between Dhawan, Chepu, Jadeja Jadeja gets my vote Ashwin, Jaddu, some other spinner, Yadav, Shami The 2 quicks are good at reverse swinging ball which is must in Asia. Good enough to keep Ishant in reserve in Asia. Don't know how good Aaron is with reverse.
