[Abhilash93]

Why Mithun instead of Shardul Thakur ?! And where are Pattinson, Coulter Nile ?

[CoverDrive]

Why no broadcast? Star Sports should have covered it on any of the 8 sports channels they have. Cricinfo link: http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/892567.html

is V Shankar a trundler or a 140k bowler- can anybody share his speed? Is V Shankar kind of competing with Stuart Binny for the All rounder's slot? what is his specialization - is he a bowler Batsman or a Batsman Bowler. like Binny is more of a Batsmen cum Bowling allrounder with slow trundling pace of under 130K.

Aaron is down with viral fever Source : http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/73601/varun-aaron-ruled-out-of-four-day-match-against-australia-a

Mukund is another domestic failure. Good to see Pujara back in business. Lodu Lokesh has done well. Looks like his exposure to Australia during debut has given him good confidence.

Rahu should be the opening with Vijay against the lankans,i will be upset if he gets dropped after scoring a century for a hack who has no business playing test cricket.

Rahu should be the opening with Vijay against the lankans' date='i will be upset if he gets dropped after scoring a century for a hack who has no business playing test cricket.[/quote'] ++ Dhawan has no business in test cricket

Aaron out with fever?

[Pagalpanti]

Rahu should be the opening with Vijay against the lankans' date='i will be upset if he gets dropped after scoring a century for a hack who has no business playing test cricket.[/quote'] The hack is someone who will set up games for us like he did vs Bangladesh. 50-60 more overs and we'd have a result despite losing 2 days to rain. I don't mind India having 2 set of openers for home/away.

Great !!

Rahu should be the opening with Vijay against the lankans' date='i will be upset if he gets dropped after scoring a century for a hack who has no business playing test cricket.[/quote'] Against a relatively weak bowling attack like Sri Lanka's on subcontinental pitches, Dhawan would be very useful for setting the momentum of the match. He can get big scores at a good SR which would be great for producing results.

[bihutoli]

Pathetic strike rates in this match though! Apt that Rahul Dravid is the coach!

Against a relatively weak bowling attack like Sri Lanka's on subcontinental pitches' date=' Dhawan would be very useful for setting the momentum of the match. He can get big scores at a good SR which would be great for producing results.[/quote'] He relies on dropped catches and chances to score big. He can't get it all the time.
