No Dhoni = end of an era?

Surprised to be no BK in Test squad.

 

[trundler]

No Shaw/Gill/Iyer in tests? Depressing

Yeah I'm a bit surprised Shaw's not ahead of Rahul given their recent form in the format. Maybe Shaw's ankle still isn't right?

EDIT: Turns out its another injury.

 

[harsh.ag]

Hanuma Vihari still ahead of Iyer and Gill makes no sense.

 

[Starfighter]

Surprised to be no BK in Test squad.

Rats. Would like to have finally seen him get a go with the Dukes ball. It's also his best format, and he should definitely be there instead of Yadav who has never developed the needed control.

 

[Shri]

what the **** is jadhav doing in there ffs

 

[Starfighter]

No Shaw/Gill/Iyer in tests? Depressing

Gotta give Rohit another spin.

 

[Isura]

Is Ishant Sharma still a thing in 2019?

 

[rparikh14]

Ishant Sharma's been really good post 2015 tbh

 

[mr_mister]

is this test championship going to mean 2 test series all the time now except for ones involving the big 3? If so that really sucks

 

[morgieb]

Ishant Sharma's been really good post 2015 tbh

Yeah Ishant is perfectly fine. Definitely Test-standard.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Ishant as of recently has been pretty impressive, but that isn't enough to outweigh the memories of him spending a good 7 or 8 years bowling hot garbage and still getting picked constantly despite that. Was still pretty crap last time Australia toured India but since then his record would have to be pretty good.

I guess I just don't tend to rate those who get such a long rope selection wise without really justifying it. See also: Marsh, S

In fairness I think a lot of Sharma's long rope was down to a lack of better options, and when the field started improve so did he. Different to Marsh getting multiple recalls when he didn't really deserve it.

 

[NUFAN]

Love how they getting the 3 T20s over and done with in 4 days.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

No Karun Nair?

 

[vcs]

Ishant has improved his accuracy a bit and he always had the stamina to bowl long spells. With Bumrah and Shami taking the new ball, he is good enough to do the holding job. Been pretty good over the last few tours.

 

[sunilz]

So insecure Kohli doesn't skip the ODI and T20 part of this tour. Ganguly gave his opening position to Sehwag in ODI team for the benefit of team. Tendulkar skipped many ODI series between 2007-11 which helped in development of Gautam Gambhir . But insecure Kohli won't allow any youngster like Gill to develop nor would he
resign from captaincy
