Whatever it takes!!!
I honestly think Binny can evolve into the #7 we need in ODIs but he needs to work on his batting and his big hitting A LOT. For the next two games, I would rather bring in Sir to bat 7 and hope Ash/Bhajji, Mishy, Bhuvi at 8,9,10 can do the job when needed, either hitting out or hanging around. If we can nick one of these two games, the last two should be crackers if Ash is fit again. Maybe even if he isn't.

So Kohli is the new Tendulkar? Can keep on failing but no questions asked?

When did Tendulkar fail?
Right my bad. The guy only scored centuries every game. No wonder he has so many of them

Even when he was going through his worst patches, and there have been a few - 2000-01, 03 (until that 241), 04-06 were relatively quiet too, and even when India had awful collapses, everyone else including Dravid, Ganguly, Laxman, Sehwag, Dhoni, Kumble, would come under fire at least once..but never Tendulkar.
Just observing now how Kohli gets away with a relatively long (by his standards) string of low scores now.

Not sure if that was directed at me. Never once hinted that Kohli should be dropped though. I for one believe he is the best batsman in the world, and it's just a matter of time, and I also believe that the next time he tours England, there will be a few hundreds at least.
All I pointed out was the lack of conversation about his consistent string of low scores when Rahane gets questioned despite scoring runs in both the games but people question his ODI ability

You're talking nonsense. Tons of people wanted Tendulkar gone in 05-06. That's what made his resurgence after that period so sweet.

It's like you can't even have a conversation.

My bad, then. With what you said I think its because people have not really seen Rahane dominate and win a match almost single-handedly but they've seen plenty of Kohli to know that he's just going through an extended bad patch. I agree that it's not fair though.
