he stopped playing them after the world cup, and now suddenly he's really after this 100, he started playing them again give rahane a chance
But that's bs. He's played away ODI's since ever. He was picked for the England series before a foot injury or something that ruled him out of the champs league too. He played the SA ODI series. He's missed all the home ODI series since his 200 bar the WC games.
And then you look at the replacements, Rohit, Raina etc who are flopping in ODI's, he's still probably the best bet away from home. And this rotation thing has allowed them to play.
While I do expect him to probably retire from ODI's soon(simply because we don't have an away ODI series till end of 2013) I'm not sure it's affecting our WC chances in 2015 as much as what is reported.
It's weird how people have different standards for different players.
