India tour of West Indies Aug-Sept 2019

Really? That's your response? I just offered a simple comparison to make you understand something and you again took it personally and think blocking each other is a solution? Just trying to make you see things you ignore.

I don't think you read my entire post either, so I can't help the rest. I already stated that sometimes you need to see the team balance over the abilities. And your problem is that you over react to a post in such a way that could easily irritate someone. If you can advice someone in a better way it would definitely help. You don't need to sound unnecessarily rude to each and every post that doesn't go down well with you.

And first of all you only don't even mind at looking at the stats and later you bring up those 4 centuries of Ashwin and claim him to be a better batsman ? FYI Ashwin himself said that
“I haven't faced a bowler consistently bowling 145+ kph to me”

And the pitch we had for this match wasn't much conducive to the type of bowling Ashwin bowls. And along with it this West Indies bowling line-up is similar in their attitude which they used to be in the late 70s & 80s. These guys won't be just bowling at you, they would look for your heads. It's just that they aren't consistent with it because of the restrictions put on them by ICC and the MCC of not bowling more than 2 bouncers per over. And with the leaning head stance of Ashwin I don't see him survive for long enough. And also the form that Jadeja brings in with the bat he can't be left at all considering our brittle tail. He is just playing brilliantly be it that 80 odd against England at The Oval last year, or the hundred he scored against West Indies at Rajkot or his hundred at the SCG, he clearly hasn't put a foot wrong. So Ashwin unfortunately doesn't find a place as of now. He would be the first choice bowler in the South Africa Test series for sure at Indian pitches would definitely favour him.

Will Rohit Sharma Will be Included in Playing XI In Next Match?

Honestly I don't think he should be coming back now. It's better he limits himself to the One-dayers to prolong his career as much as he can. He has lost his plot in Test Cricket and its hard to find a place in the Test team now for him.

He Should Get Chance To Open In Test Cricket too.Then He May Permanent Place in Test

Are you suggesting that someone with well documented issues against swing bowling should play in the toughest position possible in tests when the ball is most actively nipping around?

That is a no from me.

Every one Needs Chance To Prove Them. And Rohit Haven't Played Contionously 3 Tests

Every one Needs Chance To Prove Them. And Rohit Haven't Played Contionously 3 Tests

Rohit barely has any experience opening in first class cricket, let alone tests. You need to prove that you deserve the chance before asking for one.

In addition, Rohit has already shown that he can’t handle swing bowling of any kind under most circumstances. A similar player like Finch got a chance last year and failed. Roy has been given a chance and is also failing. How would Rohit alone be successful then? Sounds like a case of failing upwards to me.

Wonder where this obsession with Rohit in tests as an opener from a lot of Rohit fans originates from. He is the arguably the best ODI opener today and should be celebrated for achievements like that rather than trying to force him in a format where he has flattered to deceive in a completely unfamiliar role.

It comes from his performances as an ODI opener. He was under performing in ODIs as well, until asked to open the innings and that opened a new chapter to his ODI career. I think, his fans hope that the same miracle will happen in Tests as well (which is a ridiculous idea really)

BTW, Kohli dropped yet another catch in the slips in the second innings. It did not cost us a lot for a change, but I think its time he moved out from the slips and tried someone else - who is too hyper for slip catching.

KL, Rahane are set. 3rd option can be Vihari? Not sure what position he fields at in first class cricket

Vihari also dropped a couple catches in consecutive deliveries fielding at square leg. Pujara could be a good choice for it.

Add Guptill and McCullum to the list as well, although Brendon did improve a lot batting in the middle order but he looked listless when he opened in England right after the WC. At present let alone Rohit even KL Rahul is struggling against the moving ball. It would be bizarre to see him open.

Look At His Performance before Opening in Odi and After Opening In Odi.And One More Why Rohit Sharma Is Dropped If he didn't perform well In A Match. And Why Not the Openers?

Brother look in Test matches you are playing with a red ball which bounces and moves more than the white ball which is used for ODIs. White ball only swings for a maximum of 4-5 overs. And also you don't have 2 slips and a gully in a One-day game so there is a chance of easily guiding the ball to the third man for a single which isn't the case in Test Cricket. If you try that shot either you go back to the pavilion or you end up playing a dot ball. And Rohit isn't used to playing much of dot balls so that is where he can't perform as good in Test Cricket as he does in ODI Cricket. So there's no point in him opening the batting. He can only play at 6 if he has to or he can't. It is very unfortunate for him that he didn't get to play any Test in the past as he missed out due to injury in 2010 and later when he came back it was probably too late for him to develop himself as a Test player.

Chances should be given like the Openers getting chance. He can Develop His Skills in Test Cricket Too.
