Yeah, Ishant was to come in but at the expense of our best bowler in the last match?

That’s a ridiculous decision by India

New ball being wasted by Shami .... Bhuvi would have made them play atleast

I would really love to see tapes of their selection meetings. This team management has too much ego to be a successful test side overseas. When your captain backs one player and takes a dig at another (your appointed vice-captain no less, it becomes an openly personal choice. Kohli himself is going to have a tough tour here. Will current form apply for him as well? Can the captain be dropped if he has a poor series?[DOUBLEPOST=1515832031][/DOUBLEPOST]

Which one? We've made a whole set of ridiculous decisions this series.

Bhuvi provided us with an extra depth in batting department and if I remember correctly he faced most deliveries by an Indian batsman in the first test! And he is benched for the extra bounce. Pathetic.

Nohit for Rahane: Current form matters more than pedigree.

Ishant for Bhuvi: Conditions matter more.

This kind of open inconsistency in policies is obnoxious. God save this team.

Shh. Ishant gets more bounce and Bumrah is Dale Steyn reborn. Rohit will get a double hundred in one session.

Shastri & Kohli need to understand that Bhuvi is not Chris Woakes & Ishant is not Morne Morkel.

Looks like Kohli's dog did bark at Bhuvi.

I'm not surprised. People here are absolutely aghast but this has been happening for a long time. If anyone here doesn't see direct parallels to Greg Chappell they're blind. This is worse because the culprit is a player and our best batsman.

The sooner Kohli is fired from the job, the better our chances. This team, if managed well can beat SA in their den. Make Kumble the coach and Rahane test captain and Rohit the limited overs captain. If Kohli doesn't like it, he can fuc/< off!

How many Indians supporting SA?

against India? Never[DOUBLEPOST=1515835094][/DOUBLEPOST]Shami has been very disappointing in this series .. barring one spell in the second innings in the previous test. These are conditions suited to his bowling and he has just been too inconsistent

I am. This is not an India side. It's a Kohli and friends XI.

Give him captaincy of the T20 side. He can show all his aggression there.

Rahane as Test Captain makes proper sense anyway. His captaincy in that last test against Australia was pretty much on point. Much less trigger happy than Kohli.
