Raina doesnot have techniq against the quick bowlwers and patience against the spinners for playing Test match. He and Yuvi are wondrful palyers for shorter version of the game but defineltely not for Test match
Wish him get more chances to play better in fast pitches. Its time for Lax to give way for Raina! Far better player than Jadeja/Rohit.. And to me he is better than Kholi too
Just in 2011, England lost 5-0 in India, Australia & South Africa were thrown out of the WC. You say that foreign players do well on our turning pitches :)

Thats not how you call India a world champion if they know only to win here ,its not a question of whether we will give back its of what has already happened. Atleast when the others play here they atleast put up a fight not the way Indians fizzle out like a pack of cards.
He can only score big scores if any in India on dead pitches or Ipl . He was mr big talk before the australia tour and came with whimpers not that he did well in England either .
money is the only thing standing between having batting temperament of TEST. they just don't care playing TEST. they hav enough money and can survive without putting extra effort to develop short ball problems. IPL and flat batting pitches of india will produce more and more youngsters with wrong INTENT of money and Fame. youngsters shud have right INTENT of playing cricket at its highest skills level. ironically billion ppl country not able to produce such youngsters.

so sad that we won the first T20 WC on the turning pitches of south africa...
Mr. Chappelle, Will you please just SHUT UP and give advice to Australians only. You are highly prejudiced about Indians Do not forget India has WON the World cup and Australians could not even make the finals. So just shut up. Understand. Shut up
