Senuran Muthusamy took an 11for in Pakistan ,

7 of his 11 wickets were left handers . He got Saud Shakeel out twice whose one of the best batsman on spinning pitches , so if there is a theory that he can't bowl to left handers its a dumb one , last two tests we have not used his bowling well enough , Markram should not be bowling ahead of Muthusamy imo
Its just plain stupid....

Edit: Conspiracy thinking, honestly it feels like an excuse not to give him to much more opportunity because he mustn't show up Mulder etc..

Whatever it takes!!!
The answer is probably financial, right? The word on the street is that that white ball series in Aus made loads of money.
Not for the BCCI though. That is why I brought up the fact that CA rests quite a few of the stars in white ball tours to India. And honestly, I dont think the marketing would have lost that much if the test players did not go.

Mulder definitely doing the least out of the four all rounders we have right now. Sen has played two consecutive innings that Mulder hasn’t replicated in his career to date.

BCCI chamcha's Shastri and DK must be shell-shocked with the way how things panned out

These clowns were talking of going big and getting close to SA's score by end of today. Of course those other idiots Deep Dasgupta and Murali Kartik stuck to the script as usual.

SA are a world class test team but there's no way an Indian team should be performing the way they have at home. Completely outplayed in both tests.

Gambhir is a destructive force of nature.

To be fair to Conrad he has done this holding back to every all rounder..

He basically stopped Wiaan Mulder from breaking Lara's record , he dropped him in the second test in Pakistan ..

Corbin Bosch his debut test knock played a big role in us reaching the WTC final , he dropped him after , Bosch made a hundred in Zim and then he dropped him Pakistan , played a crucial role in our first test win in India , he dropped him for this game .


Muthusamy in Bangladesh looked on course for a maiden ton , think Conrad convinced captain to declare , after his 11for he barely bowled in the 2nd test vs Pakistan , then he got dropped for the 1st Indian test ..

The man has a weird love hate relationship with his all rounders that seems to be working lol.
