I don't understand how people can say you should drop Kohli. When we are on the verge of having three guns retiring, you need some experienced youth, ie. kohli.

Dropping ashwin for a puss 130 km p h bowler was a fucking joke. Spinners would be handy on this deck,

[taiga]

Could really use Ashwin now -.-

[nbhindi]

A bloody amazing century by Warner......what a way to bring it up

[Reckoner]

This is getting embarrassing for India, RR of 7, none down and a Warner century in 20 overs. It seems like Ashwin shouldn't have been dropped.   

[nbhindi]

With the form Warner's in, I don't think even R Ashwin would have been able to save India.

FLAT TRACK BULLIES

Struggling when they can't play on their dustbowl pitches against bangladesh and zimbabwe.

Joke that Ashwin was dropped. so what if he is a spinner, still looked like one of India's best batsman. Should have dropped Virat the specialist fielder instead.

Drop Kholi...he's their second best bat, 8 ODI centuries, they need a youngster in the team.
Ashwin is in the team as a bowler.  He bowled crap the last two tests and is not required in Perth if your seamers pitched the ball UP.

Ashwin is India's second highest runscorer this series, I'm just saying they should pick their best 11. And India's bowling attack is rubbish. Kohli has done nothing but throw away his wicket when India most need it (So has the rest of the team.)  8 ODI centuries doesnt count for much when you've done next to nothing this series.

Needless to say It obviously doesn't matter who India drops and who they keep in the team,  the Indian team has obviously not come here very seriously since they feel it's more important to go sightseeing than training.

Not taking anything away from the Australian team either though, they have been very impressive and I am happy that they are back on their way up

The top 7 are responsible for making the bulk of the runs.  It's their job to bat and Ashwin's to take wickets-he hasn't done so.

As for Kohli, he has shown plenty, and by no means gotten out to rash shots.  His last two dismissals have been a ball that jagged in half a meter and trapped him in front and today's dismissal wasn't a particularly poor stroke.  The bloke throwing away their wicket have been SEHWAG(one of the most selfish players i have ever seen), Laxman and Khan.

Im just embarrased and disgusted.

What the fuck are these shunts doing?

Yeah I totally agree with you there. But just saying that Ashwin is obviously in better form than most those top 7 atm, why not use him?
(as a batsman). Like i said, before this test he's the second highest run scorer behhind Sachin for this series.

It would just be more logical to play a specialist batsman like Rohit Sharma or Vijay or Raina

[Twenty11]

Replace laxman with R. Sharma. Time to give him a go I reckon.

[Bhootnike]

Kohlis fine..
And rohit should definitely be given a chance. Hopefully Adelaide
Indias bowling is pathetic,  maybe vinay wasn't the best choice.  They need some pattinson / starc type bowlers.

Can't bat, can't bowl, can't field.
Nuff said
