I want Cummins to send Nohit's offstump cartwheeling in the next 4 innings (a la Root Ashes 2019) to make sure the message to him is clear.Yeah I think they're making a mistake in that case.

I suspect it's because he was told it's unlikely he'd be picked in the next two tests, but would still have to join the team for the morning run on FridayAshwin is a great cricketer and wish him a happy retirement but the timing is odd unless he’s injured
It’s a dummy spitWhy would Ashwin not at least help the team out in Sydney, and Melbourne if the pitch warrants playing 2 spinners?
With Swann, his team had already lost the series. Here, the series is in the balance.
If Ashwin isn't injured, it's a selfish decision.
There’s a very good Indian restaurant not far from the Gabba so maybe they threatened him with a skinfold testI suspect it's because he was told it's unlikely he'd be picked in the next two tests, but would still have to join the team for the morning run on Friday
They're acting like they're down 3-0 like England 2013-14. Those idiots should realize they have a series to win...they can spit the dummy after that.It’s a dummy spit
How dare one asks intellectualAshwin to run. Don't they know his brain is sufficient?I suspect it's because he was told it's unlikely he'd be picked in the next two tests, but would still have to join the team for the morning run on Friday
Sticky this post to the subforumIt’s a dummy spit
Are you implying they are not 3-0 down morally? The lack of killer instinct stems from the unspoken truth that the formal series scoreline flatters them.They're acting like they're down 3-0 like England 2013-14.

Pathetic lack of killer instinct
Marshall was forced out. Could have played another couple of years. Plus player management is better now than it was then.Marshall retired when he was 33, I don't want Bumrah to play tests beyond 34.
The worst that can happen is no fast bowling talent flowing into the side which forces Bumrah to extend his career as a "leader of the attack".
They were excellent in Perth. OK their batting is **** but Aus isn't much better.Are you implying they are not 3-0 down morally? The lack of killer instinct stems from the unspoken truth that the formal series scoreline flatters them.
Even your weak sauce sledge is borrowedNo need to mention Swann here. Swann retired when his team was humiliated, Ashwin is retiring when his team is about to stomp on the Aussies for the 5th consecutive time.
We are gonna make em grovel.
Precisely why I want Cummins to get both Rohit and Kohli for cheap scores in the next 4 innings.Would Ashwin's retirement trigger some residual sense of shame in Kohli and Rohit?
schrodingers drawSo there are a set of junk posters who show up only when India lose and there is a set of junk posters who show up only when India win.
Somehow both have shown up after this draw.
