***Official*** India in Australia 2014-5

Is Ishant dropped or rested for workload? Gotta be rested right? Can't drop the vice captain

Ya that's the question on my mind too

 

[weldone]

If the recurring fight story between Kohli and Dhawan is true, then Kohli is a proper **** for dragging on this fight after becoming captain.

 

[harsh.ag]

His balance seems to be slightly off, from what I have seen this series. What's the harm in dropping him for a game, and giving it to Rohit to test him out? Not the worst idea. If Rohit gets his mojo flowing, scores some runs, and gains confidence, India's number 6 problems might be solved for a little while.

I really don't know what India are doing here, surely there was enough time for Ishant to get a good rest between the 3rd and 4th test. Excited to see Bhuvi bowl but 4 bowlers still doesn't do it for me unfortunately.

Project Raina worked

Nah he's awesome.

Next time I meet Dhawan in a Wellington airport at 4am I'm gonan tell him he stinks.

Don't think Rohit Sharma will be batting at 6, and to use his performances @ 3 (if he does perform) to play him at 6 in the future is just lame.

India Team
M Vijay, KL Rahul, RG Sharma, V Kohli*, AM Rahane, SK Raina, WP Saha†, R Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, UT Yadav, B Kumar

Like this team. It is a dead rubber for god's sake. It's good to try new players. Used to happen way more in the old days, and I for one see it as a good thing. Can't believe I am saying this, but where is Ishant??

Yeah.

That's not it surely.

 

[viriya]

Wow they dropped Pujara.. did not expect that. Too many changes imo.. I would've dropped last matche's debutant for Rohit and bring in Saha for Dhoni.. and Bhuvi in if he's fit. not sure about moving the debutat to the top and Raina.. the batting line-up looks such a mess. Wonder if this is Kohli's influence?

what the actual **** India

The wheels are rolling down the highway but the truck is in the river.

 

[cnerd123]

FFS this is going to be a straight up thrashing isn't it?

 

[cnerd123]

Atleast we have Bhuvi <3

 

[Jono]

Honestbharani owes a massive apology to Fox Sports. I will be waiting.

 

[harsh.ag]

Bhuvi and Yadav to knock over the Aussie top 3 for 30.

 

[Jono]

All I'm going to say is I've never seen a bloke stamp his authority on a side immediately as Kohli as done. First in Adelaide and now here.

He's basically told Dhoni he's a **** ****.

 

[Contra]

I'm sorry but what is the logic for picking Rahul again? Dhawan has at least given us starts and helped get a 40-50 run partnership with Vijay, Rahul was awful last match and I think it's harsh on Dhawan to be dropped.

fox sports forever honestbharani never

you gotta give a batsman more than one go. i mean, based on what he's done so far he may not get that many more than one go, but you just can't tell after two innings how a batsman will be at test level.

Australian fox seems to be a notch above its American counterpart.

 

[Cevno]

Like the selection tbh.

Dunno about Raina but that was problem with his selection in first place.

 

[Jono]

Rahul was possibliiiiiiiiiiiiiiii given team orders. don't forget that.
