But, looking at how pathetic our batters are barring Puji and Iyer it looks doubtful. Only silver lining is Bumrah and Jadeja back. If Rohit is back BKL should be kicked out and Gill should be persisted with as has been good against Aussie before. Add to it Australia just whitewashed Pak 3-0 in pakistan and is looking omnious in front of SA, they are extremely confident. Compared to our team, top order has forgoten hoe to play spin, except Pujara and gill to some extent everyone looks like they will get out next ball. 3-1 will be a tough result, only good thing being that we play seam much better now, but it will be tough this time. Vada Pav will return to make faces and scream on players on top of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Include Axar/Kuldeep and it's a formidable attack. Plus Jadeja strengthens batting a lot. Aussies barring Smith and to an extent Labs are bad against quality spin. I don't have any hopes from top order. These morons will again play BKL and bench Gill who is in form and has been good against Aussies in Australia itself. Pant, Shreyas, Ash and Jadeja are only hopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case, we just need to win the series to qualify for WTC final . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hopefully we put up a show, maybe it is time to induct Surya in Test matches too, replace him with KL and drop kohli. Let kohli go play County or Ranji and get his touch back.

Why SKY is not fit, he is perfect to unleash on tired bowlers, a 50 from him would come pretty fast, Hanuma Vihari is now gone with the ages, don't think he is coming back.

harsh1387 Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 SKY first class record isn't great. Rather give Sarfraz a chance who is making 100 after 100 in domestic. For tests we should choose the performers from domestic otherwise why all this Ranji trophy etc are played. Good to see BKL isn't vice captain anymore. Doesn't deserve it and selectors again screwed up not making Shreyas VC in ODI. What has Bishnoi done to be omitted so much. Same with Shaw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
san_Assassin Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Rahul Dravid To Step Down As Team India Coach- Report As per a report by InsideSport, BCCI is looking for a foreign coach and might remove the Indian coach from his post. Nothing is official as of now and the final decision will be taken by the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC). “Nothing is final yet. We are exploring multiple options. Rahul is very much in our plans. But there is a workload on him too. Our entire focus shifts to World Cup at home. The message to everyone is clear, we have to win the World Cup. So, for obvious reasons, the focus is not on T20s at the moment. There are a lot of discussions going on. But for a final decision, CAC and the selectors have to be involved. And it will take a little while,” a senior BCCI official told InsideSport. link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted December 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Different captains and different coaches for each format is the need of the hour, BCCI is earnig by bucket loads they can easily afford three coaches. Dravid overall as coach has not been great for Indian team, maybe a good idea to just give him Test Coaching, and find one/two coach for white ball cricket. Same with captaincy, if we will have split captains, no one will think of themselves as bigger then game. Vada Pav was made the captain jsut to satisfy his ego and hurt kohli and screw indian team, they were pretty successful in doing so. Now it is time to get cricket on center stage.

People from other parts of India who have never driven in winters in Haryana/Punjab area during December will blindly accuse Pant of drunk driving or speeding. I've lived there while growing up and fog is notoriously dangerous in winters, we can barely see anything beyond 5 feet so you will eventually get into accident even if you are driving under speed limit. Could be that he was a bit sleepy driving at that hour which is a recipe for disaster indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing it was a Merc otherwise it could have been worse. Also, read that some guys stole his bag which had money and did not help him. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
