Considering their entire career not this series alone
smith is atg and khawaja is very good batsmen. Klr is inconsistent and nitish just debuted
As for jaiswal. Macsweeny is yet to prove and dont rate rohit. If warner was playing would have chosen him over jaiswal
Isn't the point of a "combined series XI" thread to track and pick the best performing players in a series?Considering their entire career not this series alone
Right.
implying there is some Unwritten Forum Rule that such a thread must be like this and can’t be about picking your preferred all career side made up of players from the teams involved in the tour? respectfully like who made you the Content Cop
Exactly
Did you just forget about Rahul? He's been the best Indian batsman by miles IMO
Yes. Probably push him down to 3 instead of Labuschagne.
Rahul's been way better than Jaiswal ,who's had only one tremendous knock with little else. Rahul deserves the opening spot atleast so far through three tests.
Match winning century trumps consistent smaller contributions in my book. Jaiswal is the reason India won the first test, which is why he is my number 1 opener pick. Konstas gets the number 2 spot because he's the only one to have not looked like Bumrah's bunny all series.
You'd surely open with Starc and Bumrah and drop Cummins down to first change.
Rahul is just as important to that victory as Jaiswal was, not least because he was with Jaiswal as they really put the game beyond Australia on that 2nd afternoon.
