StriKe Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Just now, wanted_desi said: I guess Rahane will play in starting 11. Oh ****. No he is not. Rahane is stand by opener for Rohit and Dhawan. Link to comment
StriKe Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Quote “Rishabh Pant, Kuldeep Yadav, Dinesh Karthik, Shardul Thakur, Suresh Raina were also discussed. Visas will be applied. They will be on standby,” Chief Selector BCCI MSK Prasad said in the much-awaited meeting. “Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma are openers. Ajinkya Rahane is back up opener,” Prasad stated. wanted_desi and nevada 2 Link to comment
sandeep Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Karthik preferred over Raina and Pant. Not sure why. Must be Southie quota. /s Link to comment

tweaker Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 This selection is gutless, they will only select players for short term.They had a perfect opportunity to select a youngster but again they went for tried & tested player.

sandeep Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 5 minutes ago, wanted_desi said: He was scoring lots of runs in domestic 50 overs matches. It is not bad way of selecting a player. Raina has outperformed him in the IPL by yards. And is a better fit for the team from a team balance perspective - Karthik cannot provide big hits from early in his innings, which is what our current team needs in the middle order, and Raina is a viable part-time bowling option if we are getting clobbered. Same with Pant - could have learned a lot about conditions in England, ahead of the 2019 WC. There's no doubt that out of Karthik and Pant, who's going to be in contention for the team then. FYI, I was being sarcastic with the southie quota remark. There are too many ICF-ers who take baseless potshots at the "Bombay Lobby" and pass it off as fact. But clearly, there's some non-cricket reasons here in picking "KKDK" over Raina & Pant. StriKe 1 Link to comment
wanted_desi Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Rahane has been horrible in IPL and so have Yuvi. There were players like Utahppa who looked like in some serious form but werent selected. Current selectors arent going by IPL, which is understandable. Raina must have pissed someone that he was discarded like it. Link to comment
The Realist Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Not surprising given the complete lack of vision by the current selectors. Just keep on recycling the same old on a never ending repeat cycle. nevada, Hell Raiser, maniac and 3 others 6 Link to comment
tweaker Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 The squad already contain lots of experienced players who are above 35 years of age,then what was the need to select Karthik instead of young wk batsman Pant. express bowling 1 Link to comment
tweaker Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 This selection committee does not want to put pressure on players who are not performing & are selecting players who can be easily thrown out of the team. I really think If any pacer gets injured we may see Ishant in the squad again Link to comment
The Realist Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Rahane Kartik Yuvraj Dhoni Its like time stopped circa 2012. Laaloo, sandeep, tweaker and 2 others 5 Link to comment
