@JackYU I don't know about you, but I have been watching cricket since 1997 or 1996. Sachin scoring against Warne in Middle East. So I have decent knowledge about cricket.
It's same thing happened after 2011 WC. We were tired after WC and team wasn't prepared for England tour as well as Australia tour. We took half fit, Zaheer Khan and RP Singh and Praveen Kumar to England who wasn't at their best. Dravid even though he scored, he was past his prime. I don't know whether Laxman and Pujara played in that series or not, Raina played and almost everyone got out miserably. Before Australia, Dravid and Laxman announced retirement and suddenly there was vaccum and everyone was expecting 0-4 to Australia. And that's what happened. Because transition in India doesn't happen slowly. It happens overnight. After MS, we went to Wriddhiman Saha and then Naman Ojha. Then DK and then Rishabh Pant. Then Ishan Kishan, Jurel, Srikar Bharat and Rahul as well. It's too much circus. Should not happen this way. Also, we took Australia, half fit Zaheer, Ishant, Umesh and I guess Vinay Kumar. Vinay Kumar didn't picked up single wicket. I have watched that 300 from Pup ball to ball and he just thrashed Indians. He was leading scorer that year as well. Same thing happened now. First WC loss and then WC win. Virat doesn't wants to play England series. Neither wants to play domestics as well. Can you imagine he last played in 2012? Sachin improved even in last phase of his career acoording to his limitations and faced Lee, Johnson on that 2008 tour. Virat has forgot skills and forgot to improve on. Jadeja even though he performed this year, he is rusty since three years. Doesn't look threatening. Same with Ashwin. He had to use doosra/carrom ball to pick up Glean Philips and not conventional off spin, the way Sunder bowled in second test. It's time to move on from these players. Rohit has forgot to play test cricket the way he played 2021 in England. Both Rahul and Rohit. Leaving the ball was art and it was mastered by Vijay and Pujara. We dropped both at right time. Why can't we drop these four? I don't understand. Rahul still has time, but why can't we let go these four? Shami isn't part of Bengal squad either. Why can't we take more fast bowlers instead of Ashwin and Jadeja. Nitish Reddy is not proper all rounder like Shardul Thakur or Hardik Pandya. He can't bowl at 135 like they used to bowl. We should have taken one more fast bowler instead of Nitish. He might succeed in England but I doubt in Australia. At the most, he can score runs but wickets, I doubt. We have created lots of mess since 2019 WC. It's time to move on from these guys frankly speaking.
