Sooda Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Kartik deserves the call up he has been in good form, top scorer in the Vijay Hazare trophy which needs to be more of a guide than the IPL- so no non-cricketing reasons at all. Manish was a middle order bat, and Kartik is a like for like replacement. Experienced, and importantly- experience in England so a safer pick and this being an international tourno you cant blame them for going safety first. Had it been a meaningless bi lateral, then yes it would have been a backward step. Link to comment
Ultimate_Game Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) He bhagwaan yeh kis cheez ki saza de rahe ho Aisa kaun sa paap ho gaya hamare se jo itni badi saza Do selectors even watch the matches any more? Do they know there's somebody called Rishabh Pant? I have my doubts. Now Rahane is gonna open with Yuvraj and Karthik in the middle order Edited May 18, 2017 by Ultimate_Game beetle 1 Link to comment
StriKe Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Karthik preferred over Raina and Pant. Not sure why. Must be Southie quota. /s /s means Sarcastic post Don't take this post seriously. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk Link to comment

Ultimate_Game Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Yuvraj was also injured recently in a IPl match. Has he recovered fully or is there a chance for someone to replace him? beetle 1 Link to comment

Had it been a meaningless bi lateral, then yes it would have been a backward step. Sure Karthik did well in Vijay Hazare - but look at the rest of the batting lineup - who fits better for the team needs? A Raina/Uthappa/Pant would have been far better fit for that middle order. 2 of the alternates were left-handers as well. Uthappa's game is well-suited for bouncy flat tracks, which is what is most likely for this series. Karthik is good and has shown good form this year, but he's no thumper. And the Indian batting line-up needs an infusion of high SR batsmen, not the solid accumulator types - We already have VK, Yuvi and MS to play that role. Ultimate_Game 1 Link to comment

Ultimate_Game Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Just now, tweaker said: If injured,then Raina will replace him But is he injured or fit? I hope we get Raina or Pant to replace him. We need some power hitters in the team. Link to comment
Laaloo Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Get uthappa too and bring back Stuart Binny as well and call RP singh back as well Ultimate_Game 1 Link to comment

Number Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Generally in England SA or Aus selectors try a player, give him proper chances if he performs he becomes a permanent fixture else he is discarded. In India this is not followed for some reason. Players like Dinesh karthik keep coming back after every 2 3 years flop then appear again. Seeing this since 2007 08. Link to comment
Ultimate_Game Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 This MSK Prasad led selection panel has been exceptionally regressive and conservative... similar to how MSK Prasad was a player in his playing days Not even one bold pick and reverting to tested failures. No balls to make a left field pick or back a youngster or two tweaker 1 Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 A logical moveExp middle.order batsman who can play in any gearLogical move only on paper ....in reality tried and tested and failed experiment 1. How many times has he come after good domestic performances and choked at international level.2. Is he a part of future scheme. I highly doubt3. As a fielder he is unreliable. He drops easy one n take blinders. 4. We did the same mistake last time n he cudnt do anything much in the 10 12 games he got afterwards. Then why not invest in a youngster. I wud have had taken pant and yes a surprise vijay shankar . Why shankar lot people will think he is an allrounder well he is bloody good batsman with 50 avg in fc. He has a solid technique n his bowling is an additional bonus. Karthik has been a tried and tested failure. Yes u dnt knw what ull get with pant or anyone new but karthik has already shown many times he chokes under international pressure OpeningBatsman, tweaker and Lord 3 Link to comment
StriKe Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Should have sent Pant, Ask him to play in warm up games, if he is able to play well - > Pick him for Main XI. Send him to WI with the squad again, this would give him lots of experience. beetle, express bowling, tweaker and 1 other 4 Link to comment
kubrickian Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 DK looks a million bucks in FC, IPL but he is another of those players who bottles it when he plays international cricket. He simply never looked he belonged there. He doesnt have the temperament for handling pressure of international cricket. Its not a form or technical issue. I dont understand why he got picked again when he was given umpteen chances and failed in the past. When you make the same mistakes over and again, expect to be bitten in the ass. tweaker and Ankit_sharma03 2 Link to comment
