we still get Nohit at 3 then.... I think Binny might replace Bhajji though..

Rohit was always going to be @ 3 because Kohli confirmed it during the press conference after the defeat, at least not calling another specialist opener potentially gives the chance to Pujara open.

yeah exactly. I wasn't even angry that Pujara had been dropped, as him getting a break probably wasn't the worst thing, but him getting dropped for Rohit was baffling. Even though Pujara had a less than stellar overseas summer he was still far better than Rohit despite batting higher.

The only justification I'm hearing from Kohli is that Rohit is more aggressive and attacking and that he shows #intent. **** that word with a cactus. Pick the clearly better batsman, not just the one whose approach you're more in tune with. Such bull**** reasoning.

Intent has infected the membrane of young cricketers. They confuse intent with playing attacking shots, like Ponting has always said you can show intent by leaving the ball well.

Someone has to sit down with Kohli and tell him that an 100 is not the peak score for a test batsman. A lot of times, the result would have been different if he had just dug in.

My team for the 2nd test:

Dhawan
Vijay
Pujara
Kohli
Rahane
Saha
Ashwin
Mishra
Bhuvneshwar
Umesh
Ishant

Please Virat, please drop Rohit for this one test. This is a very important match. Dropping him for this doesn't mean you're ending his career. Just drop him for this one FFS.

Can someone explain to me why this team won't work for the 2nd test? Having Mishra at 8,and Bhuvi at 9 is good imo. We don't need Binny. If the new ball swings much; we have Bhuvi to exploit that.
