Winning is a habit my friend. If you don't know that then stop writing columns. If by playing reserves India lost to Zimbabwe then you would be the first guy to criticize the Indian team. Now series is won-- so if they do not play the reserves in the remaining 2 matches then your argument is vindicated. But timing of your column shows you are another dumb news writer.

Boss you can call zimbabwe minnows 3 years back. this team consistently scored nearly 100 run partnerships at the top for 2 matches. Middle order is not doing its job. Once they find it going they can give a run for your money.
The primary purpose of the tour is to win , then experemint, the first 3 ODI did figure the so called fringe players like jaydev, Ambathi, to a certian extent Shami and Mishra, now the only guys left out are Parvez and Ajyanke, now since 2 ODI is left we can experiment, its utterly dissapointing when you see the author say the purpose is defeated as we didnt play with a completely 2nd team lead by whom then should it have been vinay kumar as a captian would that served the purpose. what an expert we have here on cricket,

Let Pujara & Rahane open in place of Shikhar & Rohit.. Any how Pujara & Rahane already shown their power on respective occassions. We have to try only the winning combo...
The entire article is Absurd....the series is now won and hence all possible combinations shall be tried now only. Zimbabwe side is too weak. The only testing conditions there is the pitch conditions in the first two hours. PLAYERS CANNOT BE ASSESSED BY THEIR PERFORMANCES IN THIS SERIES(THIS INCLUDES ROHIT SHARMA).
Two reserves each in two matches to be played.However except Pujara none is known.When Dhoni Gambhir and some mpre rested back return some of the ones in 11 will have to be rested.

NOW IT IS THE IDEAL TIME TO GIVE ALL THE PLAYERS, WHO HAVEN'T PLAYED SO FAR A CHANCE TO TRY OUT.lET DHAWAN, ROHIT, RAINA AND MAY BE CAPTAIN KOHLI HIMSELF TAKE A BREAK.
Kohli may not be a great Captain. However, the team selection has been quite logical. Now that they have taken a 3-0 lead, they should rest Rohit Sharma, Vinay Kumar, Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina and include Parvez Rasool, Rahane, Mohit Sharma and Cheteswar Pujara.
