Popular Post BeautifulGame Posted January 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2018 I mean apart from pleathro of dropped catches ? Can't bat can't keep yet back in the Indian team. We could /should have tried Pant in the England test series when Saha got injured but no our team management has brought back Parthiv Patel (and Dinesh Karthick ).Both tried and tested failures and useless keepers well.Mind you quite a few on ICF were queing up to defend that decision as well. We could have given Pant a decent run in the team , he could have proved to the X Factor in the team and gained valuable experience in both India and now SA.Yes he may also have struggled but even then he would have been far better than Parthiv. And the worst thing is Parthiv will again be selected for England tour and continue to screw us . tweaker, adi B, maniac and 10 others 1 1 11 Link to comment
sm332 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 agreed that this wasnt a smart choice although the only rationale is perhaps a significant overestimation of the batting abilities in these conditions of Dropthiv and Kartik Link to comment

tweaker Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 instead of looking forward & selecting Pant, Kishan, Samson the selection committee selected Parthiv & Karthik. The team management may have thought if the young Keepers perform,than they may have to be selected in the odi & T20 squad. Now they can shout there are no ready made wicket keeper available in the domestic cricket. The have completely ignored Ojha after his good showing in A matches.He would have been better than Parthiv & Karthik. maniac, Mosher, beetle and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment
asterix Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 All the married players need some support, encouragement & sense of belonging... when Pant etc get married they too will get this support... adi B, Number and Trichromatic 2 1 Link to comment
mancalledsting Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 but Parthiv has experience... Link to comment
Laaloo Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 We don't even select new keepers for t20 team or odi team so no chance of grooming them for a tough test series overseas. maniac, beetle, Rasgulla and 5 others 5 1 2 Link to comment
Rasgulla Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Samson should be tried.. We already have pandya who can hack Link to comment
kosingh Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 He hasn't even kept to a single ball yet and you guys are complaining. Wait until SA bats. Then everyone will be REALLY thrilled with Parthiv. Sgattick10, Laaloo, Jimmy Cliff and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment
maniac Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 In all fairness You can’t expect 19 year olds to make debut in a series like this...groundwork should have been laid by exposing them to international cricket through limited overs cricket. Now I am not saying the solution to that is going back to TTF’s when your keeper is injured,should have gone with someone like Ojha Link to comment
saik Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Pant should be in the T20 team atleast. speedheat, Mosher and beetle 1 2 Link to comment

He was just coming of a Ranji season where he scored 1000 runs and full of confidence. beetle 1 Link to comment

Pant and Kishan or whichever youngster identified should have started playing international cricket from 2015 or 2016 onwards as an understudy to MSD and Saha. We messed up plenty of chances before of trying them, outrage of them not debuting in a series like this is a little too late. Laaloo, beetle, Mosher and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Silva Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) But even if you think Pant is too young, is Parthiv patel really the 2nd best wicket keeper over the age of 25 in all of India? It just seems like a lazy selection by the selectors who probably didn't expect Saha to get injured which is why they had no back up keeper in the Squad(patel was in the reserves i believe.) This is like that debacle when they picked Saha as a specialist batsman in a test match but this is worse because they had time to fix it before the 3rd test but didn't.

sandeep Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I think its time to turn the page on Parthiv. Unless he wins the test match for us in the 2nd dig. Link to comment
