There was a chap called Ganguly, most outside India hated him, but his will to win made him a respected captain around the world. Kohli is much in the same mould.

Khawaja seems to bat differently in test cricket than he does in shield cricket. He is more aggressive when he plays shield, but he seems to go into his shell in test cricket.

He will get another crack as he got starts in almost all of his games, but just couldn't convert. His time will come.

Marsh will go back to Shield cricket for the rest of the year and look to finish the season very strongly.

Interesting, haven't seen Khawala bat in Shield but saw one of his century innings (it was ODI or T20 I think) and man was playing superbly loved his shots and timing.

Will watch out for his videos on YouTube of Shield batting.

Oh yeah he was amazing captain, I didn't like him but now when I look back I say he was amazing captain for India.

Shoaib Akhtar rates Ganguly extremely high as a captain.

India's next 6 Tests are against Sri Lanka away and New Zealand at home in 6-7 months time. If guys like Rohit, Pujara, Kohli and Rahane aren't all in the team for those 6 Tests it will be beyond a joke.

Nah I don't know why i have a feeling they will stick with these oldies as against those sides on dead pitches they will score tons of runs and then they will stay in the side.

Kholi is very immature, bordering on being a (No Swearing Please) tbh.

Well I hope the Lankans make it 3 whitewashes in a row on the road if India are too stupid to make changes.

Playing well at state level is how you getted selected for the National side. Marsh is very inconsistent. Khawaja has proven, at state level, he's very consistent.

True, but khawaja has shown an inability to cope mentaly with test cricket, Marsh has scored a centuary.

As Langer said, both will have opportunity to step up in the near future.

Sri Lanka themselves at the moment probably can't win against there A team.

It is only SAngakarra in there team who is performing along Chandimal (somtimeS)

Nothing like him. You really have no idea. Kholi was so wrapped up in himself he celebrated after running a single to bring up his ton, despite 3 runs being on offer! An Australian would never pause to celebrate a personal milestone without maximizing the teams opportunity first.

I'm sure it'l come back to bite him on the (No Swearing Please) if he is as arrogant as you say, but as for celebrating a century - are the 2 runs he turned down likely to have any impact on the result of this match? Fair play to him, great knock from the highlights I saw

Watson is probably the one Aussie that I would love to play for Eng and to me can give Aus so many options in the future with bowler combinations. Similar to what Eng could do when Flintoff was fit. Kholi come's across as most of the young indians do, a spoilt prince. If they acted like their king (sachin) they could be the best.

No doubt it was a brilliant knock but that guys attitude is really messed up, he needs to sort himself out really.

I agree with you CD But at the same time I feel part of it was his age, his first trip to Aussies, Aus team sleding and India team's performance. I am pretty sure, he will mature up with time. I see him as India's future captain...
