I've found myself agreeing with OS about selection far too often in this series. I must be doing something wrong.

At least you're in good company

It's funny 4 of your top 5 are in the last chance saloon. All except Kohli are woefully out of form and you couldn't justify picking them again should they fail here

I think they'll do alright when they get on a home pitch.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Does look like he has something, though he clearly needs a bit of help in finding it

Even if he fulfils his potential to the max, he's a discount version of Stokes (and a very liberal discount at that). I don't think he's going to have much of a test career tbh. But it just doesn't make sense to drop one of the batsmen who doesn't look like getting out every ball until he actually does. Can't drop the allrounder when he's producing more runs than the supposed frontline batsmen.

There goes my LMS.

 

[trundler]

Wtf

I saw that but I am at a loss of words for Pratters's description. WTF is apt.

Like there was ever any doubt at Andersons favourite ground.

Lol

 

[Pratters]

LOL Dhawan is back.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dhawan's tonning up

Dhawan's tonning up

Looking like it

 

[Pratters]

Dhawan's tonning up

LOL, no. You just don't come to a test match and ton up with the issues Dhawan has with his cricket.

 

[OverratedSanity]

LOL, no. You just don't come to a test match and ton up with the issues Dhawan has with his cricket.

Mate he's 1/50th of the way there already.

 

[Prince EWS]

LOL, no. You just don't come to a test match and ton up with the issues Dhawan has with his cricket.

Nah, mediocre players in bad form with technical issues have tonned up before. It happens.

It's not particularly likely because he sucks but Test cricket isn't anywhere near as predictable as you're making out.

He's determined

He has technical, concentration and indiscipline (plays too many shots ) issues. It is extremely unlikely he will ton up.
