Do we have to pretend that is good batsmanship?

I think it's the only way out of the predicament they find themselves. Pant is the right man for the situation.

The only way out is not the highest risk option.

Rahul has played his fair share of dour innings in test cricket. He didn't really develop an expansive game till he started playing white ball more later in his career
Why are the camera crew so obsessed with Kohli?

England debuted 11 players in the 1990s who played 50 tests and 30 who played 5 or fewer. They put our ordinary XIs for years and turned over players like nobody's business. Even now they have a lot more test players than we do. We'll pick anyone to have a go at white ball cricket but generally we don't hand out test caps so quickly. This Summer's discussion was who would replace Warner who retired. With Cam Green injured it was known months in advance who 10 of the 11 would be today.
In the same era we had Stuart Law, Michael Bevan, Matthew Hayden etc. who either couldn't get into the test team or were fringe selections. Haydos the nuffy that he is played 96 tests from 2000-2009 and 7 from 1994-1999. Even someone like Mike Hussey played 79 tests from age 30 to 37 because the side was that hard to get into for so long. Meanwhile England were picking the Hollioakes (RIP Ben) who were about as English as I am and as close to test standard.

The directors of all sports broadcasters are fascinated by big name players.
Excellent bowling but India from the start have been too timid. They haven't rotated the strike nor scored off the bad balls. They also haven't committed on the front nor back foot. Feet have been stuck at the crease. Disappointing.
They need to be more proactive.

There have been some nice shots that would have raced to the boundary if the outfield was a bit quicker.

The Optus Oval outfield is like a cow paddock compared to the WACA, if you beat the infield at the WACA it raced away for four.
Hazlewood on for Cummins next over.

It was Pant, Washington Sundar and a medium pacer called Shardul Thakur who put us to the sword a few years back

Umpire waiting for batsman to walk. Just give the guy out like you're supposed to do.
