How rubbish was it to play Dhawan ahead of Vijay? Vijay is a test specialist is the truest sense and has prepared himself well enough to be selected in the squad and be ready to be selected in the XI. Rhythm cannot be more important than having a proper specialist who has shown to weather challenging conditions. And pre-game info said that the Eden track was lively and would help seamers. And with the rain expected to influence the game, seamers should be expected to get even bigger purchase. How in the world do they select Dhawan over Vijay?
Had Vijay played, he would have taken first strike above Rahul. And if Vijay had played out a few deliveries and found out that there was good purchase for seamers, Rahul would've been more cautious and we could have even had a wicketless day. I sense we are going to have some really horrific days under Kohli-Shastri if they keep taking decisions like this.

Lakmal 3 wickets in 11 overs with just 5 runs. He was in some bowling form I think.
