How much time did they spend coming up with plans and working on batting strategies for this series?

Should probably wait until the VC justifies his place at home. :ph34r:
I say this as Rahane's biggest fan. Pant is not going to improve his home keeping dramatically short term. If Pant does remotely well as a batsman, Rahane has 2-3 tests to make a hundred to save his place.

Provided Pant makes expensive blunders during that time.

I don’t think Rahane has that short a leash ftr.

Oh this is beautiful. Just magnificent. And it this venue, too. It's like the stars have realigned after the dirge of the home summer and put everything back where it belongs.

Thought he'd turned the corner in Melbourne, looking as composed and judicious as he did. But he's made three mental blunders to get out in the three games since. Sadly looks like it may have been a false dawn.

I think the project of improving Pant's keeping against spin at home is a very long term one. Not expecting much improvement this series.
