Being dumb is what Rohit gets crap for.
Rohit's issues are technical too. He relies so heavily on being able to hit through the line, he's constantly leaving gaps between bat and pad and reaching for deliveries that move late. He doesn't seem to have a solid defensive game anymore. Makes him a liability anytime the ball moves.

Add to that his dumbness and he's a liability. ChePu's become dumb, but atleast he can survive good bowling in tough conditions.

Pujara has loads of technical issues as well. Doesn't move his back foot at all, bottom hand is way too heavy and he's crap at finding ways to score off back of a length deliveries.

I'm not saying Pujara isn't better than Rohit overseas, he's clearly more valuable even when he's not getting runs, but the double standards here are ridiculous.

Pujara's technical limitations don't hinder him from surviving tho. He's not going to essay booming drives against a swinging ball like Kohli or Rahul, but's compact enough in his defence that he isn't a walking wicket in these conditions. When the conditions get better for batting he has the game to score.

I don't think Rohit is capable of that even if he wanted to. He'll score no matter what, but it's a question of when, not if, he gets dismissed in non-subcontinental conditions.

Pujara over Nohit is a no brainer IMO, even if both are equally prone to brainfades.

This Indian team is again proving rankings are a hack.

This team is a disgrace for a No 1 test team.More like a no.6 when they tour.
Oh please. If selections had been sensible and batting too, India could have won either of the tests. Both games were fairly competitive. So this team is far far away from the embarrassment Sri Lanka is overseas.

Having said that, this team is clearly inferior to previous India teams.

Finally an Indian performs away from home.

What was the upshot? Did the **** stat with his missus or is it all over now?
Allegedly Vijay got her pregnant while she was with Karthik. They split up, she's now married to vijay.

It worked out for Karthik too. His current wife is a massive upgrade.

Battings looked a lot easier today. Even Pujara and Patel were looking good till their respective brainfarts.

I’d say anyone who doesn’t fall pregnant to your team mate would be a massive upgrade.

God, how can they be in the same dressing room? Would be tense af
