Rahane's had such a strange year. Was averaging 90+ till the NZ series. Last 3 matches he hasn't been able to buy a run.

All I am saying is Pujara was dropped for a more bs reason.

I don't remember but have teams tried the off side heavy field settings for players like Hayden who can walk down/across and play to the leg side? I remember Laxman flicking balls from outside the off stump to the leg side boundary a few times, but would this tactic work against batsmen who have the option of advancing down the pitch?

Whatever it takes!!!
Exactly what I felt..
When I was watching today, only 2 wickets fell. Stepped away for the first 20 mins of the post tea session and then again the over that Kohli got out, and everything goes pear shaped. 
Gonna have to suck at work and hotstar it all day tomm. Real indication that Kohli has reached the rarified cricketing Greats/Gods level now that GIMH has started to insult him randomly. He usually reserves it for the very best.
Also, Nair does not seem very athletic at all for a youngster. Reminds me of a young Gambhir. Pretty useless in the field and could have easily saved himself with a dive there. Sometimes not seeing such desperation rankles.
England will most likely take a big lead tomm and bowl us out for nothing.. Early morning + Anderson, Woakes + two men who dont really have a good defence and not very good against swing = disaster for us, I am afraid.

He got more runs then Ballane or Duckett would've done.

That probably makes it 4 players in the squad who shouldn't be selected under any circumstances whatsoever for the remainder of the series.
It'll be tough picking a side if we have an injury or two.

fair one. I guess he might have an opportunity to bowl in the last innings with India chasing a target, if Cook trusts him.

Lol i remember having the fear during the Lanka series that if Pujara didn't get a chance, he may be out for a long long time as it will be difficult to dislodge Rohit once he gets to India. But as of now he is injured anyway. Lets see if Karun is any good.

What numbers? The only series rohit has done well in, apart from that debut series, is the one vs nz in which Rahane scored tons of runs too.

Their overall home numbers, I meant.

Yeah, shocking as Batty was today, I'd back him to bowl well during this game, whereas if it'd been Ansari, I'd have still been disappointed, but hardly surprised.
Even so, unless he bowls exceptionally well later in the game, I'd still swap him for Broad next game (assuming Broad's foot is ok). I was all in favour of his coming back this game given the situation we were in but someone has to make way for Broad when he's fit.

Yeah it's possible. Pretty bad rut though.
