Feel sorry for Nair

[coffee_rules]

Played the whole summer in England, waited for a chance. When there was, he lost it to a youngster. Tad unfair! The ironical 300 looks like a curse to him.

They wanted somebody to bowl offspin but still it's unfair on Nair .

All we would have seen from Nair is smiling after he drops sitters. Glad Vihari has been preferred.

Ashish Nehra says Karun Nair is in England to Sell Chole…With Kulcha and achar and pyaz free,” he said.

Not tad but extremely unfair. Kohli and Shastri represent everything wrong that happens when power is concentrated in the hands of too few a people.

[Jamadagni]

Unfair yes, but for the benefit of the team. Nair is a mediocre bat, who got exposed against pace at home itself. He shouldn't have been in the squad in the first place along with Shradul. Now imagine Siraj getting selected for the last two tests and playing in this test ahead of Shradul, who was in the squad for the whole tour. Would you have still felt sorry for mediocre Thakur?

Siraj does deserve a chance but Nair has been selected and he should have been given an opportunity.

NAIR >> Rahane.

 

Anyone who can score a triple and that too very quickly deserves to be in the playing 11 whether he is technically deficient or not. He plays spin very well so should be in the team just for that. Might be a sitting duck against genuine swing and fast bowling, but who isn't nowadays? 

[sandsaims]

If Nair had to play if should have been at Rahane's expense.

[kohli]

Nair deserve chance.u can't discard him without Given chance.

[coffee_rules]

Vihari's unprecedented first class average  could be the reason for his promotion over Nair. Plus Nair failed in the India A game against Eng A.

In place of whom he should have been given a chance. Vihari has been selected for his bowling too.

Gavaskar slams Team management. A lot of ex-players are also criticizing. 

 

Quote

"How many Indians have got triple hundreds? Virender Sehwag twice and Karun Nair once. You don't give that man an opportunity. So what are you trying to tell him? 'Look we don't think you are a good player?'

"All the best to Hanuma Vihari. I really wish him well. Karun Nair has every right to ask the team management what he has done wrong. He deserves an answer. 'Why am I not picked?' If you are going to pick an extra batsman, which they should have done from the first Test itself, and if you haven't given him the opportunity, he deserves an answer."

 

Nair's exclusion was reminiscent of Ajinkya Rahane, who spent a lot of time on the bench in Australia in 2011-12 but couldn't find a place in a line-up that included Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman. When Dravid and Laxman retired for the subsequent home season, Yuvraj Singh was picked for the England series. And when Yuvraj was dropped, Rahane would have hoped to play in the fourth Test in Nagpur, but India gave a debut to allrounder Ravindra Jadeja in that match.
