Rohit and Kohli lost their prime, but unfortunately , we yet to find replacement for them, Gill, Pant, Jaiswal, Ishan, Safraz khan, none still able to fill the shoes of Kohli, which is concern for selectors to remove Rohit and Kohli
Rohit can still be replaced. There are half a dozen opening options available for that slot.
For Kohli's slot however there are only two options at the moment - Padikkal and Jurel, both unproven...
I think Rohit's test career will come to an end after this tour if we fail to qualify for WTC, which looks certain to happen..
Shami should be immediately send to Australia. He is in good touch with both Bat & Ball. Today last over Vs Chandigarh scored also 1st over taken Wicket.He should be given less overs is Australia to bowl to manage his workload but he'll be very effective way better than Rana & Siraj .
You can't depend single player, for entire team to win a match, it will either Shami or Bumrah..
Develop new players, and if there should be 4-5 bench players , who should be up to mark international level.
Although not at all impressed with rohit but what he is saying about shami is absolutely right imagine if we rushed him to include him in squad and he got injured in first or 2nd over of the match then we have to play the entire match with 4 bowler which include 1 spinner n 1 allrounder that too in downunder putting more pressure on bumrah
We had seen in past playing half fit bowler resulted in series whitewashed i.e. zak in 2011 english tour
