Ram Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 he will find his form against chennai' date=' don't worry marirs[/quote'] You mean he's gonna hit 15 off 20 balls. That is definitely 'form' for him, going by his current standards. For someone who is a bona fide test specialist, its amazing to think he spent his initial years in the Indian ODI team. Gives us a fair idea of how poor our ODI was, back then. :giggle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 I can understand why guys like Dravid, Laxman, Ganguly are being paid so much despite their known foibles in the limited overs format. They are their team's identity, guiding figure, the brand around which the whole team is makreted. They have come to represent their state, city and the culture of that part of the world. After all, whats Bengali psyche without Saurav Ganguly? But, Mohammed Kaif, 3/4th of a million.... :haha: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the lowest paid high profile player in India![/quote'] And thats because he gave up the 'Icon' status. If it wasnt for that, Laxy would have been the highest paid star in the league, considering Symmo got $1.35 M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Outsider Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 The Indian selectors share the brilliance of guys like Sriram and use T20s to pick test squads to give India the unmatchable talunt of Yuvraj Singh.:hysterical: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australia was an aberration, a blip. No matter, greatness can only be delayed, never denied. Cant wait for our next tour to Aus, some old scores badly need to be settled. :two_thumbs_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You word can be final on that. Maybe, just maybe, Kaif is a better test batsman than Yuvraj. But there are no 'maybes' about his ODI and T20 batting. They suck, period. :giggle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricketics Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 mairirs, kaif's poor run in 2020 doesn't even tell anything what he is capable of doin in 50 over format and also in test.. he is never used as a hitter up the order.. his role was to anchor the innings in the middle.. or come little down the order..

ludhianvi Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I dont think Kaif has the range of shots to be a striker/powerful hitter. His back swing and stance doesnt allow for him to freely hit the shots. Either he should be slogging in the 20 overs version or play with finesse. But in other forms of the game, you dont have to be a powerful hitter to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
