Sooda Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 WTF is Jalaj Saxena doing in this team? :dontknow: well we said that for the WI squad, and to be fair to him he did ok there! Link to comment
rkt.india Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I am sure even Pappu or Karthik would have huge scores in Ranji trophy. Those may be just 2 tests but he didn't give me much confidence while batting. At least when I saw Karthik batting' date=' even though he may have a brain fart but he did look like a batsman. I am sorry I didn't see that in Saha. Saha reminded of the likes of Ratra, More etc. who may be just about half-decent at batting but nothing more.[/quote'] People have short memories. Saha looked more assured than most top order batsmen in the only test he played in Australia. You should watch that again . That was a short innings but assured for guy who played his first test in Australia. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Yeah, neither are in T20 squad and they could have gone straight after playing NZ seniors at home- Menaria did well in Ranji and EPT last year so not a bad pick, but not sure what Bist did wrong to be dropped RKT, what about Rituraj, is he a good bowler? He is a decent bowler at the moment, but is a bit limited as he depends a lot on swing and he also has a chink in his bowling action which reduces his pace. He has a quick runup and quick arm action, short and skinny guy, but swings the ball well. Will be good in NZ. He can certainly improve his action though. Link to comment

ShebbySB Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Whats with the musical chairs in A squad? Bist and Saha dropped? Isn't Saha supposed to be Dhoni's successor? Saha is not dropped he's injured.Bisht deserved to be in the A team it's really baffling........ Link to comment
Ultimate_Game Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Are there any odis on the NZ tour? If yes, Ishank Jaggi should have been selected for odis. The guy averages 54 in List A cricket from 35 games :woot: Maybe in odis he should be preferred over Rohit and Rahane in the Indian team. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Dunno anything about Rituraj, anyone shed some light on him? I saw Rituraj live in Duleep trophy match. He is like young Agarkar in terms of physique, maybe 1-2 inches taller but skinny, has quick runup like a sprinter and whirkwind quick arm action, comes close to the wicket and swings the ball away, not very quick, but issue with him his flawed action. If he can refine that he will be generating more pace. He does not really use his left arm which falls very early. His bowling reminds of Debashish Mohanty, though different actions and physique.

ShebbySB Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 why din they pick awana ahead of unadkat? he's been a consistent performer in the last 2 seasons Awana is injured.:(( Link to comment
ShebbySB Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Saha should have been there who is a better keeper and not a bad bat as well. Saha is injured & will not be fit before September. Link to comment
Raghav_12 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Probably for providing a strong alternative for M S Dhoni in tests. True that... he looked more assured than the top 3 in that innings. Yes, he really impressed in single opportunity that he got. Link to comment
SLICKR392 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Found inform Pujara in the last tour. Hope we would find a good bowler from this tour suited for their conditions. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Found inform Pujara in the last tour. Hope we would find a good bowler from this tour suited for their conditions. We had already found that in WI in Shami Ahmed. Link to comment
ShebbySB Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Saha is injured else he would've been in the India-A squad.Anyway he's injured & Naman has got a chance. Link to comment
ShebbySB Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I think this tour will push Shami in the Indian test squad.After Zaheer we want atleast decent seamers & I've high hopes from Shami.Umesh,Ishant,Shami,Aaron,Irfan & Awana should be the fast bowling pack for test matches in the coming years.Any decent upcoming left arm seamer should take Irfan's place but he's the best left arm seamer after Zak right now.

Pawan Suyal and Anwar Ahmed are the best left armers after Zak, but I hope Rush Kalaria and Mohsin Sayyed will soon make their mark. They both have very good basic actions, no real flaw, especially Kalaria's runup and action is very smooth. While Sayyed is quicker. Link to comment

Ya gotta see them in action tomorrow.I'm aware of Suyal & Anwar Ahmed but the selectors aren't. Link to comment

ShebbySB Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Sayyed is not there as he suffered dengue and opted out of the WC. :banghead::banghead: Link to comment
rkt.india Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 :banghead::banghead: You can watch his action and a few deliveries here, watch from 3:48. He has a stronger action in comparison to Kalaria. He is a Mohammad Aamir kind prospect, 16-17 year old and such quick and coincidentally, Aamir too suffered dengue before U19 WC.
