Rahul I can still live with but Kohli needs a long break. Dropping catches as usual too.

Shaw over Gill/Rahul in these conditions would’ve been good. Little ****er would’ve owned here.

lol come on, they rolled a team for 230 ffs

I get that it wasn't exactly a perfect display of bowling excellence, but calling such a thing "the worst" when I'm sure there are days they've absolutely chased leather is a ****ing ridiculous level of hyperbole to suit your particular selection agenda. Your post is bad and you should feel bad.
I don't think you've read my post clearly.

I was giving props to Ash and Axar for bowling exceptionally well and despite not getting enough support. Umesh and Siraj giving away freebies on a pitch that offered plenty of help for both pacers and spinners was a big problem.

Plus our fielding was just bad, did you watch the entire game or just read the scorecard? Did you see the number of dropped catches? Sure saying that it was the "worst" day was an overstatement but we could've lost the game thanks to poor fielding and easy runs given away by our two lead pacers(after being in a very comfortable position for the most part). Anything over a 100 runs was going to be a headache in the 4th innings on that pitch.

****ing ridiculous level of hyperbole to suit your particular selection agenda. Your post is bad and you should feel bad.
And regarding this very constructive and well-thought statement by you. Here's what I had posted earlier:

I think he's(Kuldeep) a much improved bowler and will definitely feature in away games. Also, Unadkat over Kuldeep for the 2nd game was a great call. Pacers are getting more purchase on this wicket and Axar and Ash are easily our top 2 picks in test matches.

Complacent?
Top order is complete garbage.
There is 90% chance Australia will end our 10 years unbeaten run at home in February if we don’t drop Rahul and Kohli .
True. Ash, Axar and Iyer somehow pulled this off but we were going to be embarrassed in this game. Bangladesh is a strong side at home but losing the game after being in the driver's seat would've been bad for the team's confidence. We were 74-7 at one point, definitely needed something outstanding+luck to win the game.

Is anybody else watching TVF webseries “Sixers “based on Gully Cricket ( available on YouTube) ?

One of the joke is :
Father is busy , so he asks his Son to duplicate his signature on Bank’s cheque in front of Client.

When Client asks the Son “ what if this Cheque bounces due to forged signature?”
Then Son replies “ This Cheque won’t bounce even on Perth Wicket “ ?

"This is the guy that comes with a lot of domestic cricket, this is what they do for living. "

- Sanjay Mankrekar when Unadkat hit Miraz for a 6:blink:

We should stop embarrassing ourselves with such commentators. We have so many guys who can do a better job, enough of Manjrekar, Anjum and Rohan Gavaskar.

Where is Mayank? He was a proper home bully and seemed to enjoy spin.

Ideally

Mayank
Rohit
Pujara (did have a good 1st test in bangla tbf)
Kohli (won't be dropped sadly)
Iyer
Pant
Jadeja/Axar
Ashwin
Kuldeep
Siraj
Umesh

Bumrah should be back for the aussie series. So Bumrah for Umesh, Axar for Kuldeep and Gill for Mayank in your team is what they will go with for the first test.

Whatever it takes!!!
The T20 side for the next few months should be interesting. Lots of talk that Nehra will be unveiled as the new coach of the T20 side but he was very actively involved in the auction for GT. Maybe they wanted to finish the auction before they formally made the switch.

But even without that change, with Hardik in charge and most multi-format players now concentrating on ODIs and Tests, we have an opportunity to try out some young blood.

shaw pissed on some bcci bigwig's coffee and won't be picked

chahal is a supporting spinner at best and gets smashed far too often for a specialist unlike rashid khan, zampa, narine etc. time to try other options - ones who are not liabilities in 2 out of 3 departments

I'd play Kuldeep for the wrist spin variety. Tough call though to drop any of the other 3.

After Pant, Jadeja has been the second most important player in the team for the past few years. And he continues to be.
