My team need me to score runs. I'm on 0 from 9 balls. Conditions are difficult and scoring is difficult.

I know. I'll wildly charge and slog this prank spinner for six then the fans will love me.
I could totally see that playing through his head. "I'M GOING TO GET A STANDING OVATION!!!! I DID IT FOR THE CHENNAI SUPER KINGS. IT'S LIKE THE SAME THING."

I just checked his FC record - averages 42 from 72 matches. I didn't know it was that bad. BUT GUIZE, HE CAN HIT THE BALL HARD SO LETS PUT HIM IN.

Raina shouldn't have been in the squad for the series at the first place. Rahane deserved his test debut in Ahmedabad.

Being close to captain Dhoni, being his Chennai SuperKings teammate in IPL, and his (deservingly) trusted no. 6/7 in the current Indian ODI side were the only 3 reasons he is playing test matches now. WHAT ABOUT SOME FC CRICKET SELECTORS?

From 9 balls? That would barely be time to panic in a T20, let alone a Test match. Has he never played FC cricket?
I didn't want to make you feel bad - but what I really wanted to say is I would be fuming if I was an Indian fan - that was highly irresponsible.

****ing right. Badri/Tiwary/Rahane waiting in the wings and a turd like this gets selected. Okay I will shake my head and wait. But seeing that shot? ************
