IND ODI Sqaud for NZ series announced : Rahul Shami and Umesh out


Recommended Posts

There is a reason why despite so much of talent we never achieve what we can...........

We are not even selecting our best side or even on the right path. So many mistakes in every selection 

 

KL rahul dropped after not even given a proper chance- Kohli said 2 series ago he is to good a player to sit out.........what happened now 

Iyer- What more does he need to do 

Karthik- how many more yrs of failure in international cricket he needs

Shami- he is our best bowler and he needs international match practice 

Shankar- overseas tours are coming and we need someone like him 

Pandey- good he is backed but he shud be on the edge now

Thakur given another chance- exciting as has pace

 

DK given his 10th recall to the international team....yawn

 

KL Rahul out- what a backwards move, clearly has all the tools to succeed. At least he can play domestic and hopefully show good form. By that time, DK, MSD, Pandey should have flopped some more paving his re entry. 

 

Rahane retained- although I have my reservations about him in LOIs, you can't drop someone after the series he had against Australia  (even if his strike rate was on the lowish side)

Clearly, you don't know Rahul....he is injury prone and there are some issues in his body which is preventing him from being a part of the squad. Team management and Kohli know that. That's why he has been dropped for now.

This guy Dinesh Karthik made his debut before MSD came into scene, but he is still sent back to the Indian team by the selectors every time which disrupts the combination.

Even Pakistan did not persist with Yasir Hameed and Imran Farhat for that long..

Jayawardene saw young Akila Dhananjaya bowling in the nets and after some time he was playing in SL colors. Do these selectors/former players/captain have the ability to select random talented player in the team and groom him to become world class talent by giving enough chances?

its a logical decision,shami n umesh can play tests as bhuvi n bumrah are pretty much the first choice seamers for odis/t20s, neither of shami/umesh was going to play anyways in a short 3 match series,we should look for a left armer instead 

 :no:Bhuvi n Bunrah became our first choice, 'cause Shami got injured in first place. A fully fit shami should walk in to this xi. 

Bumrah for all his death bowlin prowess is not that good while opening the bowling and Bhuvi has his good n bad days as far as wicket taking is concerned. 

 

Shami is the only bowler who has taken wickets consistently since he made his debut. Tell me how many bowlers we have or have ever had with a bowling avg of 25?:facepalm:

 

I get that we need to conserve him for test matches but that doesn't mean he should be out of the ODI picture completely,  after just 1 match. 

 

Ideally all 3 should be playing.

I feel that Rahul may add more value as a middle-order LOI batter, as he has the ability to hit big 6s .

 

Our current 4 to 6 positions do not have a single 6 hitter based on current-day ability ..... while we see other teams packing their sides with explosive batters ..... and this is resulting in Hardik being promoted to 4 .... resulting in 6 and 7 being consolidators.

Except for Rohit and Pandya we have almost 90s kind of six hitting ability.

By that way nehra shud never have been picked in life 

Rohit sharma is becoming injury prone

Why is there so much surprise over Shami and Umesh being dropped. They have been identified as Test bowlers. They were just given a brief exposure to ODIs again..

 

Bhuvi, Bumrah, Pandya are the first choice ODI bowlers.. Thakur is a backup..

 

Rahul being dropped is shocking.. would have liked to see him get a few opportunities before being sidelined.. maybe he'll be back for SL

"Karthik's inclusion is a reward for the runs he has been scoring.There is no particular reason [behind Rahul's omission] because Ajinkya [Rahane] has done well as an opener. He (Rahul) will play Board President's XI or the Ranji Trophy. What's the point in him just being in the squad and not playing? We will see how it goes [as far as his batting position is concerned]. Because, as of now, this is the best combination." a BCCI official told ESPNcricinfo.

 

"We are trying to rotate everybody. We are open to different combinations and options. DK instead of Rahul in the middle order is also a part of the process," he added.

 

Is rahul playing Board president XI games?????

I don't think young players have any chance to be selected in the squad uptil the world cup.

 

It seems this selection committee  is more interested in tried & tested failures.

It's very obvious.. When was the last time some new kid was selected 1 and half yr before wc and actually went on play in starting XI of that WC. People should stop moaning and get used to it already.
