Has his stance gotten worse?
Honestly why is vihari seemingly undroppable? Apart from Windies, his record abroad is garbage. I'd have dropped him and bring in Rahul.Pant for Saha, Gill for Shaw were selection errors in the first test that were rectified. Siraj for Shami is a forced one.
We've effectively replaced Kohli with Jadeja after being bowled out for 36. I don't think this is the right decision.
I think selection and long-term planning is what let's India down the most at the moment. The talent is there but I don't think the best players always play when they should. Rahul and Pant have 100s in Australia, they should have been automatic picks ahead of Shaw and Saha. Gill is the next big thing and Kohli's replacement for the rest of the series, he should have played the first test @ 6 to get the experience under his belt.Indian selection is so bizzarre. If you decided that Shaw & Saha were your choices for the first test then I think it's harsh to drop them now . It just leads to more & more insecurity in the team. They initially dropped Pant when he shouldn't have been and now after a few matches they have dropped Saha. It can't be good for the confidence of the person coming in
Labuschagne does not look comfortable at all either against spin. Not the calm player he looked last year. Ihope he doesn’t go on and make runs now but I can see him getting outSmith's in a real rut isn't he?
One of those three digits isn't required there.Excellent bowling effort from India, now watch them get skittled for 150.
Feel so happy seeing Gill play the way he has. I remember 3 years ago you and me were discussing about how he would be the next great Indian batsman in the u19 WC threadGreat stuff. Only lost one wicket. India's day by a margin today.
Yup! I remember that too. Looks so composed and good. Struggled against Cummins and Starc but the way they were bowling, they'd have troubled any batsman in the world.Feel so happy seeing Gill play the way he has.

Rohit in LOI should be a no-brainer, let's see about test matches tbh.We have two players who are vastly better captains - Rohit in limited overs, Rahane in tests - but we keep going around with Kohli due to personality politics and ruining our chances.
Will never happen sadly. Not with Shastri as coach and my namesake attending Kohli's wedding..Rohit in LOI should be a no-brainer, let's see about test matches tbh.
