I thought Kohli should be given one last go in Australia but nah don't think so anymore. He's been given a long rope and it's all run out. Would be ok with him being binned and us going with a yolo noob batting line-up down under. Not much to lose. Doubt it'll happen though and he probably has a better shot of doing well there than some debutant. For the long term good of the team he needs to be axed asap.

Yeah there’s a lot of “India can still this”.

Pretty certain there’s no way anyone could do it from this position with all that’s happened in this test so far.
At this rate Jadeja will have to literally get all 135 runs himself (or byes)

he'll probably average 35 in Aus and have a hundred, be seen as impressive in an otherwise low scoring tour, then he'd have a horrible English tour and then retire if no WTC final.

FFS Blundell. Contribution with the bat was crucial but another untidy day behind the stumps with those reviews and now this.

Weirdly I could see him doing pretty well in England. Flatter pitches these days and England attack isn’t great. Australia will be tough if they continue to roll out spicy pitches.

Think it's time for a new keeper next series. Was a nice innings from Blundell today/yesterday but not enough, and the keeping errors are really stacking up now.
Think Ronchi can instead take up a full time gig working on Blundell’s keeping.

Kohli doesn't do better than a 70-80 odd at best regardless of the pitch these days unless it's a disgraceful road. Could do relatively ok on spicy decks like he did in SA .

You just KNOW that these selectors don’t do stuff like dropping people without giving a multitude of chances.

The Sri Lanka and Windies tours were pretty bowler friendly and there is just no way that England rolls out flat wickets against India like we did (shamefully) in the 2023 Ashes, Reckon it's gonna more be traditional English wickets.
