Seriously. He is throwing too many people under the bus in press conferences.
Also don't think Shikhar is worth persisting just for the 1 good innings out of 10. Need to move Rahane up to open and then maybe Yuvraj gets back in the team. Ok now I am just dreaming.

He has been playing irresponsibly for a while now. Plays way too many strokes.

Maxwell = post-ton Ricky Ponting who's decided to have some fun after the game is sewn up.
Knocks by the Indian bats were all superb but let down by the quicks. Two international openers who looked that out of their depth should not have put on 150 like Marsh and Finch did. Village batting and was only appropriate that neither converted. Smith such a jet, though. Genuinely feared for every fielder who had to put hands behind even a quick single hit by him. Was instructive to watch the bloke, despite nailing every ball, still push the first run so hard too. Watch out NZ.

I'd actually not be too bothered if they did tbh. Make sure he's right for NZ.They should rest Steve Smith over his back issues...

you mean you agree with the criticism?
That could be genuine but he really should be at least a little more encouraging to people rather than be outrightly dismissive.

Maybe the big egos in Indian cricket need it

There was one shot he played where he walked way outside off stump and opened up his stance completely so he was basically front on, basically hoping that he could get a ball he could swing past fine leg. Ball ended up short outside off stump instead, and he just drilled it to cover off the back foot. No runs, but still.

its hard to imagine how big an ego could someone have who's barely played any international cricket?

india need to learn to bowl because their batting is solid enough

the bats are doing enough for the first forty overs
it's crazy to play two spinners, and especially at the roady roads in perth, as well.

Whatever it takes!!!
The issue is Ash is the better spinner if you are playing the lone spinner but Jadeja adds so much with his batting and fielding. It really is a tough choice for MSD and I honestly wish they would just let Yuvi back in the ODIs till the rest of the team settles down. Play him as the #5, move MSD to 4, let Rahane partner Rohit till Dhawan gets his bearings right, add in Raina/Gurkeerat at 6 and a seamer allrounder like Dhawan/Pathan/Binny at 7 and 8 along with Jadeja and then play 3 more seamers. All of a sudden you got lot more options as a bowling unit and a bit more depth in the batting. Which we so desperately need given we do not have match winning bowlers in this format.
