That darn bumbai lobby and its flag-bearer VK who anointed Tailunt as the one-who-can-change-test-match-in-a-single-session. Oops, VK is from Delhi. Never mind that reality. That damn Bombay lobby. Let's blame them. Facts be damned. Ravi Shastri was the coach/manager when rohit was drafted into the test team, coincidence? I think not, see even I can concoct stories about players like you the comment about bumbai lobby wasn't a serious one anyway, but I do HATE the bumbai lobby, they overhype the mumbai players, if VK wasn't as good as he is, we would have seen tailunt sharma leading India in all three formats, sanju manju and ravi shastri will cry again the next time India plays in wankade without any mumbai player beetle 1 Link to comment

sandeep Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Its a test against Bangladesh - nobody cares who plays -we should still pound them regardless. Now for the Oz series, its a legit question. And its Rahane all the way. Link to comment
maniac Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 The great Oz Killer is going to be back.....so Rahane or Nair might take a backseat Link to comment
Tibarn Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Ajinkya should be an automatic selection for every match. He and Kohli are our top 2 batsmen. Rahul/Vijay/Pujara/Nair/Rohit/Dhawan and anyone new can compete for the other 3-4 spots. It's bizarre to want to replace Rahane, IMO. Link to comment
SecondSlip Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Why not both? No offense to Bangladesh, but I don't think we need 5 bowlers to take their 20 wickets! Link to comment
OpeningBatsman Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I don;t know. Still not sure about Karun Nair's batting against moving ball outside off. I was turned off by the way he played against the Zimbabwe bowlers on his debut, how ever it's harsh to drop someone who has scored 300 in his previous innings. Personally, Rahane for long term but next couple of matches, Karun has to play. express bowling 1 Link to comment

A return series or a return game against such bowlers is the last thing Rohit Sharma wants. It will be blessing in disguise for him if he sits out throughout the series.

Texan Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Rahane. Better all wicket Test player for now at least. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Loved rahane . Brilliant away from home and Pacey tracks . but unbelievable is not home bulky but away bully . Away from home a must . But at home ? so poor against spin. Is this a reality or just a phase ? Don't remember him sucking like this v spin till England series carries on like this will leave no option option but to drop him . Not just that string of low scores but looks so poor v spin . Rashid was bamboozling him and rashid is rubbish express bowling and WeStMiDz 2 Link to comment
OpeningBatsman Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 If the pitch is similar then we might need both. Karun in place of Jayant. express bowling 1 Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Karun Nair will definitely be back in the team after this batting collapse. Link to comment

maniac Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Rahul's injury will automatically bring in Nair....so don't think there will be any hands on changes. So pretty much the same X1 if I had to bet...if it's a bouncy/green top which is very unlikely then Bhuvi for Jayant or if it is a flat pitch then toss up between Bhuvi and Jayant. No revolutionary changes expected Link to comment
helperononline Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 if K L rahul gets injured and does not play then ask pujara to open and nair can play express bowling 1 Link to comment
bowl_out Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Karun will come in place of Jayant.. On hindsight, they should have gone with a 7-4 combination this match... On such a raging turner, Ashwin and Jaddu should be enough to get wickets.. Could have gone with an extra batsman Link to comment
