Just noticed that Raina is also playing test that too in Australia.Rohit,Lokesh and Raina might contribute but overall a very bad decision by Virat considering many things. Virat has not at all impressed me in team selection aspect at least.

Smith is first three tests. Kohli has bettered him, with innings.
Cook had a good start as well. Wasn't it first four tests with a ton?

to be honest, I think Kohli views Chet as a threat to him in test cricket and his poor form has given Kohli the opportunity to drop him. You could see Pujara leading the test team in the future.

don't think that's a valid reason not to drop someone in a dead rubber
