Yeah, agenda is for India to win but yeah let's support Pappu Patel. Guy had x factor while opening in tests, can blaze away a quick fire 37. Horses for courses or some BS

Appears as if the drop parade has begun 

 

As Bhuvneshwar said - catches (and even half chances) are expected to be taken

He ll prob score more runs than Saha with the bat in long run... Does Saha have the X factor ? Can he even get in double digits to think about 37 ?

See, the thing about horses for courses is you need horses, not donkeys as replacements

On  this pitch he would have....However he's safer behind the wicket than Parthiv. As simple as that.

For the number of catches this donkey drops he probably needs to average higher than The Don to make it even par.

That was a sitter, you don't need gloves to take those. Faint nicks are the easiest, it's the thick edges that are tough. Are you a *ing retard?

How costly is the Amla’s drop? May be a wkt then could have brought additional wkts as well

Cost us the match.

[Gollum]

2 drops already, one of Rabada, one of Du Plessis...unlucky Ashwin had 3 drops of his bowling in a 10 minute passage of play. 

[sensible-indian]

lol will people learn their lesson now?

 

I don't think so.

[Gollum]

@King Tendulkar changed your opinion?

[Forever Indian]

3 drops already and 1st innings is not even over. Well done Parthiv.

[The Dark Horse]

But but guy has x factor, can open the innings and get a quick 27. 

[New guy]

People are too influenced by IPL

[CG]

Only and only idiots would prefer Parthiv over Saha and you have few on this forum

I still won't judge him based on the last Test.  Apart from Pandya in the 1st innings, Ash in the 2nd nobody scored much let alone Saha. India's batting problem was due to our top order. If PP scores like 20 to 25 and get out it won't add much.  If he drops a catch it will affect the psyche of bowlers. Be careful of what you wish for.

Here is a "told you so" moment

[express bowling]

Some people keep on underestimating the tremendous importance of a good keeper in test cricket.

[Nikhil_cric]

Saha is not only a good keeper but also can scrap it out with the bat. Now, we have Rohit, Parthiv and Pandya after this and, honestly, our test batting hasn't looked so meek since Azhar's time. Disgraceful.

[BeautifulGame]

It's a tragedy Parthiv Patel is our WK.

 

Not even Zimbabwe will select him as their WK .

 

Another one of our own goals.So many in this series from Kohli and Shastri.
