I now fully understand why Pujara was not picked for the first two test.

Because Virat is a ****. Because Nohit Sharma is allowed unlimited chances to score no runs. Because why would you pick your best batman? Because the Indian cricket team should never allow class to trump internal team politics. Because Pujara could walk into any other team in the world at No3 Well done Virat. I can fully understand why you've won zero IPLs as Captain.

People need to understand this. Virat has been captain for 2-3 tests at best. And already he is reacting quickly, for example many people said he favored Bhaji this and that. After 1-2 tests of trying him he has realised he is not on the test level anymore and dropped him. So relax. It's not like he is backing an under performer for 10 straight tests. He has been in charge for 2-3. Make judgements later.

This will be how Pujara will be treated. He'll have to score such tons regularly to secure his spot. Today while I happened to catch the lunch session talk show. SunnyG said for Pujara to make a case for his selection he'll have to score 150 score. It just boiled my blood. Manjrekar was going on and on about how Pujara's technique has changed from before and that he's more susceptible to swing bowling than before just like Kohli and Dhawan. Not one of them criticized Rohit. Idk why and how Rohit escapes criticism and no one raises an eyebrow as he keeps getting chances after chances despite failures. If he plays vs SA over Pujara, it'll be a travesty.

Pujara gave a tight slap to those who probably conspired to keep him out - either to accomodate their fav or fear of being overshadowed in tests Dr. Dang ko isk thapad ki gung sunai daygi :P

Rohit is good at "aggression and knows how to smarmy up to the right people.

+1. It was shocking to see Gavaskar say that - though it's not far from the truth. Maybe it's not his opinion - what he said probably reflects how the team management thinks.

Gavaskar has made quite a few biased and pro-Mumbai statements over the years. He may be reflecting both his own view and that of management's.

Hate Gavaskar and Manju. The way they were deriding Che was irritating to say the least. How come they never find any deficiency in Maggi's technique/temperament?

My initial hunch about internal team politics is coming true. Kohli cannot, I repeat simply cannot allow any threats to his claim over captaincy. As of this moment not just Che, but also Rahane, Ashwin, Vijay are in the line of fire. Kohli has the full backing of that SOB Shastri and Mumbai lobby though :((. Believe me if you thought MSD was Captain Corrupt, Kohli will turn out much much worse if not checked right now. Kohli's blatant corruption is the main reason we aren't leading 2-0 now. Kohli doesn't score enough to compensate for his blind favoritism, dumbfeck captaincy and dropped catches.

To be honest I think it is just because of stupidity not because of conspiracy. Team managment has alway confused ODI form as a criteria for test selection (which explains yuvraj, and raina getting so many chances.) And the last 2 years nohit has been averaging 56 at a strike rate of 95 with 2 double tons in ODI. Mixed with the fact that Pujara went 22 innings scoring only 3 50s and no centuries. But surely now Pujara has cemented his spot at number 3. 7 centuries in 49 innings 6 of them 130+ scores. He's clearly the best long innings specialist in India. Team management is stupid but their is a method to their stupidity.

Not only pujara man. It makes me laugh how Rahane who always bats at #5 has to go up because of this baboon not doing well at #3 What the hell ? Is this Team India or Team Nohit&Mooli
What did Mooli do? Mooli=Murali Vijay in ICF. You confused with the lingo bro?
