Is Nair the one for a long haul?

It would be a little risky to include likes of Nair in the playing 11 if Ind is only fielding 5 batting specialists, along with 5 bowlers. With Rahane, we looked like a headless chicken.

 

 

That's what I had been saying, even a half-fit Kohli brings in more ith the captaincy and mindset of others..

Captain is always as good as his team.Yes Kohli does bring energy and kind of displine from players but playing 11vs 11 is already hard enough.

Talking about this game, may be Ind should send Nair at 4 in the 2nd inning. Esp if the wkts dont fall early

 

If he does well, great. If not, others would know what job is cut out for them

Time to replace Nair with Iyer. The guy has hardly done anything except for one fluky innings in number of chances he has been given and that too at home.

[coffee_rules]

boy! a lot of haters waiting to replace him. all he did was score a 300..scorecard readers..

just give him a match or two,although I believe iyer and pant are must in this team ,would not be a bad Idea to open with pant and Rahul, since Vijay and Rahul are pretty similar and bogs down pretty easily, Iyer too is a stroke maker, most importantly both are good against short ball, and pant can really take attack to opposition and can put off bowlers of their length.

This is not odi and we are touring abroad next few years . Opening us specialist job and pant has long way to go even as lower order batsman . Overseas playing the new ball is key .

A big inns from Nair round the corner. IMO he will save us this test match!

You simply never know. People have to patient with youngsters. He has not looked bad in the matches when he failed.

In this test, he is the only one without any contribution to the team - not runs, catches. May be stopped a couple of boundaries. Rest all have contributed in one way or the other.

The problem with Nair is that along with being inconsistent and a failure with the bat except for one fluky innings, the guy drops catches. At least someone like Raina or Jaddu even if they didn't contribute with the bat, they couldn't be faulted for their fielding.

So basically can't bat, can't bowl and can't field?

So far if you take out his one innings the summary is pretty much spot on. Have to try out Shreyas Iyer in SL else we risk of failing when we start touring away from subcontinent.

I don't rate him at all, that lucky 300 have him the Aussie series.
