I can only assume that Rahane was jealous watching Australia and England getting all the publicity for internal controversy and drama and wanted to get in on the action.

LOOOOOOOLLLLL WTF IS THIS ****?

On a serious note, I do feel we'll have Prasidh eventually in tests, but why push him so early? We have more issues in white ball cricket to fix. Prasidh should feature in our next Aus/SA series.

I mean as far as red ball goes Prasidh was basically on the verge for a debut in England at OT of all places considering the wear and tear over the series. If anything being at home in home conditions is an ideal time to debut. It's true that he's less proven than Marco Jansen in comparison but going by Ishant's general slow exclusion I think it's a valuable punt to take on him, assuming of course that others like Saini and such don't get picked.

Am I the only one who doesn't like Shreyar Iyer's approach? Gets his 50, and almost throws it away in the next ball with an ugly, pre-meditated shot. I've seen him do this every time after he gets settled, tuk tuk BOOM. Very few batsmen can just randomly switch gears like that.

@Teja. Why are you missing from this discussion? Have you given up on Rahane?

Change your avatar bro it's an embarrassment now

Teja used to be a big Sreesanth fan too. The real panauti.

Good to know Rahane has risen above good and bad

Others? Who are these others? What was he talking about specifically? Is it even clear? We are just assuming every single thing here.

Referring specifically to Ashwin bowling in the first 10 overs in Australia. It’s not an assumption it’s literally Rahane vs Ashwin’s words.

Idk if anyone else has backed up what Ashwin said in this specific instance but it does seem highly improbable that Ashwin would randomly make something up completely.

Ashwin's YouTube channel comment crediting Shastri goes viral after Rahane's 'purely instinctive' Australia series claim

In a recent interview, Rahane said that he wasn't happy with the "someone else" taking the credit for the decisions he took "on the field or in the dressing room" during the 2020-21 Australia tour.

Ashwin has had his own tiffs with Shastri too so if he was complimentary of Shastri for something that specific, it's highly unlikely to be untrue.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but the way Majumdar leads Rahane into the question and Rahane's sheepish (not self-effacing, mind) reaction is a telltale sign it was a setup agreed to by both parties.

Can someone share that vid with me? Where Ash says that Shastri asked him to bowl early on?

Almost all the coaches he and Boria interviewed said the same thing, and so did Pujara in another interview.

Definitely a lot of murmurs and 'insider' reports that the past IPL auctions have been less than fair, and I vaguely recall some decisions being made in the early days that ensured the bigger franchises got who they wanted. But this season's auctions seemed pretty transparent.

Ranji trophy starts this week. Hype. Seems like the same structure as last season, teams and players should be getting out of quarantine to prepare soon.

Let's make this thread great again

But this season's auctions seemed pretty transparent.

Lucknow Super Giants literally bid on Sai Sudharshan when they had 0 Rs. left in their purse. And funnily everyone has just moved on from that.

Apart from Rahane, Pujara and Ishant, is there any other test cricketers/near-test cricketers playing Ranji for the states?
