Vijay #1, Rahul #2, Pujara #3, Kohli #4

Karun at #5, Pappu #6, Ashwin #7 Jaddu #8, Yadav #9, Yadav #10, Shami #11

Is this a genuine injury and hence a legitimate explanation for rahanes poor form thus far or a master stroke from kohli and Kumble i.e. send him to spend 3 months in Chennai at sivaramakrishnans house learning how to bat against spin bowling...by the time he returns he will come back as a navjot Sidhu (against spin)

injujry happened yesterday in the nets and not an excuse for poor performance.

I am betting Rahane just chickened out after hearing that the mumbai pitch will be a turner. The management must have also forced him to take time off. 

The funny part is that I am betting the pitch will be very good for batting. Most of the replacements will do wonderful and finish his career. Good.

An overrated mumbai batsman.

 

yeah, broken finger is being chickened out.

good for India. he is an average player  not good for test, neither for ODI, nor T20s not at all. Good for Ranji Trophy

So much idiocy in one single page of one single thread

I hope we don't miss Rahane too much on this bouncy turner.  We need some big runs from the Pappu-Nair buttefinger combination.

Nair is reputedly good player of spin - remains to be seen whether it's true.

Rahane is anyway not really good against spin.

Although Nair is said to be good, I doubt how much he'll score here.
