sensible-indian Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 The way things are going' date=' expect a lot of politics in team selection in the coming months. Won't be surprised if Pujara,Vijay,Ashwin,Rahane are booted out of the test team by the year end. :(([/quote'] Don't think that will happen bro. Those guys are performers. Tough to boot them out (as of now) even if the captain hates them (hypothetically speaking).
govinda Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Rohit :woot: Inspirational leader, no monkey gestures, calm and calculative, leading by example, respected worldwide by contemporaries :hatsoff: BCCI need to make Rohit the permanent captain of Test team :agree: Looking at Dhoni's recent form, he can also be announced as the ODI and T20 captain too ( Rohit leading India in a home T20 WC will be a sight to behold ) edi too much anna:hysterical:
Gollum Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Don't think that will happen bro. Those guys are performers. Tough to boot them out (as of now) even if the captain hates them (hypothetically speaking). Hope you are right bro. This team has the ingredients to be the no 1 Test/ODI team 2-3 years down the line. Just pray that petty politics, vendetta don't play a role to stop us from doing that.
India-KXIP fan Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Don't think that will happen bro. Those guys are performers. Tough to boot them out (as of now) even if the captain hates them (hypothetically speaking). India's next 35+ tests (over 3 years) are either in SC or in Zim and WI. Who better than Rohit for such conditions? :--D Whoever scheduled this is an idiot and ruins test cricket viewing without the variety and different challenges. I bet by the time they tour SA in 2018 India will be No.1 with every top6 batsman averaging over 60!
sensible-indian Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 India's next 35+ tests (over 3 years) are either in SC or in Zim and WI. Who better than Rohit for such conditions? :--D Rohit (as of now) may look awesome for Tests in SC due to his 2 100s against WI but let's see. When the ball swings or seams, he gets out. Also facing Herath in SL is no joke (assuming Herath hasn't started declining cos he is old). Facing disciplined SA pace attack in SC will not be as easy. We all saw how he batted against Lyon in Adelaide spin track when all he needed to do was NOT get out and give Kohli strike. He literally was batting like he wanted to get out every ball. Even in other Australian pattas with almost no swing or seam, I saw quite a few of innings where he almost looked like getting out but survived. I don't trust Rohit basically. That guy in pressure situations will simply choke.

Well we will find out how good he is in SC soon enough, though I agree with pressure situations part. :nice: Lyon did use alot of bounce in those 2 innings, something not found in SC. There was a combination of massive turn and bounce.

But the way Rohit approached the situation was infuriating to say the least.
Austin 3:!6 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Rohit Sharma >> Virat Kohli **In these conditions**
govinda Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Yeah bro....it was tough to play Lyon in Adelaide especially for a new batsman I agree. No doubt. But the way Rohit approached the situation was infuriating to say the least. rohit looked compltely out of sorts vs lyon nohit:facepalm:
tweaker Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Rohit should not be near the test team.Pujara or Ashwin should be the captain
Virat_Fangirl Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 According to some news Virat will play one off test
Virat_Fangirl Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Virat Kohli decides to play one-off Test in Bangladesh Tuesday, 19 May 2015 - 6:00am IST Updated: Monday, 18 May 2015 - 6:00am IST | Place: New DelhiMumbai | Agency: dna | From the print edition Virat Kohli has had a rethink. A week after reports said that the Test skipper was planning to skip the one-off Test match against Bangladesh in Fatullah (June 10-14), the superstar batsman has decided to make the trip after all. There is, however, still a question mark over the availability of Kohli, one-day skipper MS Dhoni and a few other seniors for the ensuing three-match ODI series in Dhaka (June 18, 21 and 24). Back to Kohli and his decision to travel for the lone Test. dna has reliably learnt that people close to the 26-year-old "advised" him not to skip the Test, especially after he was given the job during India's tour of Australia last year. Kohli captained India with aplomb in the first Test in Adelaide, scoring twin tons in the game besides taking India tantalisingly close to a famous win. Dhoni had missed the game due to injury. Dhoni returned in time for the second Test in Brisbane. He was also captain for the third Test in Melbourne. He, however, surprised everyone by announcing his Test retirement ahead of the final Test in Sydney. Kohli duly took over the reins. The tour of Bangladesh, however insignificant, will see Kohli take charge of the Test unit all by himself. It is understood that Kohli also had a chat with senior BCCI official on Sunday. In fact, the powers-that-be had zeroed in on all-rounder R Ashwin to replace Kohli as Test captain for this tour. But now that Kohli has agreed to lead, everybody is on the same page. It is also understood that the selectors will name the same squad that played the last Test, in Sydney. The selection committee, chaired by Sandeep Patil, will meet in Mumbai on Wednesday. BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur will convene the meeting. For the first time in recent memory, the chairman and convenor will address the media after picking the squad. This is a welcome change. There is also talk of sending a new-look squad for the three ODIs. Going by their recent performances, Robin Uthappa (Karnataka and Kolkata Knight Riders), Mumbai lad Shreyas Iyer (Delhi Daredevils), Himachal Pradesh's Yuzvendra Chahal (Royal Challengers Bangalore) could be in contention.
