West Indies' tour of India (Feb 2022)

You just can't share half of the context. I need the other half.

Dravid loves to experiment.

Remember him as an expert for Star sports during the 2015 WC saying Rohit should bat at 4 while batting 2nd and as an opener when batting 1st.

I want the same to happen , the fearsome tweak with ICC World cups.

Experiment is what I am looking for .

Geez are we not done yet? Everytime we see an issue in our batting we want to move Rohit down the order. I mean it just sounds insane now to move him. This is as good as people wanting to see Kohli being left out because he hasn't scored a hundred since last 3 years.

I think Lord is a fad as a cricketer. In the crunch moment he will be pants down and he is not a patch on Hardik. The comparison is almost offensive. And I cannot fathom a team without SKY specially one with as many middle order calamities as India in the last half a decade.

Agree but we cannot keep on waiting for Hardik to be fully fit. For sure he is one of the first names on the list if he bowls. On Shardul's batting, I think he has all the shots in the book that a lower order batsman can play.

We have Dhawan who has got runs under his belt, we want to bat KLR in the middle order, we need Pant to be there and we can't go with just 5 bowlers where the 5th one keeps leaking runs.

Ok let us forget about what we are thinking, but where do we see the current team management going?

Looks like with the Dravid's era, we are going to see this continued trend of massive playing XI changes every match within the series.

Honestly, India fans complain when there's no changes, no trying out of new players and complain when they do.

Well Hooda would consider himself lucky that he got to play for India in those couple of games. With the amount of exposure he got I won't be surprised to see him sidelined after this series.

I was expecting Rohit to sit out for this one while Dhawan & Ruturaj to open with Pant being left out. And @asprin there's no Kul-Cha this series.

Indian fans will complain even after India wins a World Cup.

Hard to figure the opinion out of a 1.4 billion.

I have no problem making sweeping generalisations about cricket fans.

What a start from Rohit!

The optimism from West Indies.

The world isn't ready for him yet. Hood hood Hooda!
The era will begin again soon.

Rahul has a niggle. His back was doing things the previous game itself. I don't get why Hooda isn't playing. Kuldeep and Chahar coming in was expected as was Dhawan.

We desperately need to have a fixed middle order but what the hell do I know?

Kohli ton incoming! I can feel it.

That's just gross!
