Are stump microphones good for cricket?
Thanks for the feedback Kopa… tend to agree with a lot of it.

I think Pujara at 3, Kohli 4 and Rahane at 5 is their best option, just need to get the other players around them scoring.
Will history repeat in Melbourne?
There is no chance Pant will be dropped and although RAhul has been out of form for most of the year he will have to play with Shaw not available you would think.

I think Agarwal has to play. Vijay has looked all at sea in 2018. His only contribution i think came against Afghanistan.
It’s an interesting one either Pandya or Vihari at 6. Kohli would probably like the extra bowler and match winner in Pandya i suspect.

Thanks mate. With Ashwin back in Melbourne, assuming he comes back, they will get a bit more help with runs in their lower order, and they really do need it on their effort in Perth. A bit more application too wouldnt hurt.
India's super long tail must improve
The wicket looked green and Jadeja outside of India is not the bowler, not even close, to the bowler he is in India.
However if they played him and batted him at 8 their tale wouldnt have been as long as it was. Lets not forget how big an influence Jadeja had on the 2017 test series.

Hey let’s not forget Kapil Dev! But they are bowling very well!
Everyone's focusing on Kohli, but has anyone noticed Ishant?
They did a lot of grinding. But Rahane showed that playing a few shots is not a bad way to approach things. Kohli was a rock for his 82 not.
The Perth Test pitch is a minefield
It’s not perfectly flat but it played alright day 2. May be hard batting day 4 and 5 but calling it a minefield is maybe a little over the top. However did play better day 2 than day 1.

Hard to have a beer with someone who is getting stuck into you i’d imagine! 😉
