ShebbySB Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Awana should've been there in place of Unadkat.Good to see Mandeep,Chand & Suryakumar Yadav in the squad.1 of them will be in the test squad very soon after VVS retires.Robin Bisht is dropped after a single tour.What wrong has he done?He's the highest rungetter in the 2011-12 FC season.

JaFanatic Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 why din they pick awana ahead of unadkat? he's been a consistent performer in the last 2 seasons Link to comment
saneindian Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Naman Ojha isn't a IPL star. Did fairly well in the last domestic season. Where have Robin Bist and Awana disappeared? Could have given a chance to Dhawal Kularni as well. Vinay Kumar going for such a tour is a joke. Batting wise, they have gone with the right picks IMO. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Awana, Shami, Rituraj, and Dhawal Kulkarni should have been the pacers. OJha is there because of Jagdhale and Hirwani. Why Saha is out? There is no reason why Vinay should be there. There is nothing we dont know about him already. Link to comment
Pagalpanti Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Whats with the musical chairs in A squad? Bist and Saha dropped? Isn't Saha supposed to be Dhoni's successor? Link to comment
rkt.india Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Naman Ojha isn't a IPL star. Did fairly well in the last domestic season. . Saha should have been there who is a better keeper and not a bad bat as well. Link to comment
Number Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 ^ Saha will be reserve WK during NZ series at home I guess. @Saneindian, I didn't know about Ojha's last season's performance. Still he is 30 yrs of age. Karnataka's CM Gautam seems better. Uday Kaul too, but he doesn't keep much. Link to comment
saneindian Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Both Bist and Awana had got injured during the A tour of WI. Looks like both are yet to recover from their injuries. That is the only reason that explains their ommission from the A side. Link to comment
zaqw222222 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Why was Manoj Tiwary not selected?? EDIT : Forgot that he is selected for T20 WC Link to comment
Sooda Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Should mean Rahane and Pujara make more squads, maybe even test squads :woot: Link to comment
rkt.india Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Rahane and Pujara should have been there to have more overseas experience under their belt, IMO. I wouldn't have picked Ashok Menaria. Link to comment
Crookbond Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 WTF is Jalaj Saxena doing in this team? :dontknow: Link to comment
CG Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 So why was Wriddhiman Saha Dropped from test and A sides? India A squad: Abhinav Mukund (capt.), Naman Ojha (wk), Mandeep Singh, Anustup Majumdar, Unmukt Chand, Ashok Menaria, Ambati Rayudu, Suryakumar Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Akshay Darekar, Vinay Kumar, Shami Ahmed, Jalaj Saxena, Rahul Sharma, Rituraj Singh and Jaydev Unadkat Something Fishy?

maniac Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Agree....Unfair....but still he is not good enough at the international level...time to invest somewhere else Link to comment
saneindian Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 For home tests, the selectors have never picked a reserve keeper in the side unless Dhoni has had an injury issue going into the test series. Also, he could be the reserve keeper for the T20 WC (though not named in the squad) and the A tour falls right when the T20 WC will be played. That could be the reason why both him and Rahane (reserve batsman) have not been named for the A tour. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Agree....Unfair....but still he is not good enough at the international level...time to invest somewhere else How did you get to know he is not good enough at international level? Link to comment
Ultimate_Game Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Saha was just like Pappu at batting. The most you could expect was score of 20s or 30s. Dinesh Karthik was better and we should be looking somewhere else. Link to comment
maniac Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 How did you get to know he is not good enough at international level? From what I have seen....May be Dhoni has set the standards too high for me :dontknow: Link to comment
The Outsider Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Saha was just like Pappu at batting. The most you could expect was score of 20s or 30s. Dinesh Karthik was better and we should be looking somewhere else. But at least he does not wait for the first slip to take a keeper's catch. Link to comment
JaFanatic Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 what if dhoni gets injured just b4 the match startsB-> Link to comment
