Dhoni in no mood to give either Bhuvi or Shami a go in tests.

The skipper is also impressed with the effort of young new ball bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Shami Ahmed, but is certainly in no mood not to throw the youngsters into Test cricket right now. "Shorter format will give them (Bhuvneshwar and Shami) more exposure. "Test cricket is entirely different and if you look at someone like Bhuvneshwar, he can be effective in specific conditions. To play him in Tests, you need to have a look at the conditions. Like if we are playing in England [ Images ], New Zealand [ Images ] or South Africa [ Images ] where the ball swings and seams, he can be considered but on sub-continental tracks he would need to alter the length which he bowls," Dhoni explained. "As far as Shami is concerned, he is someone who can bowl quick and can reverse the ball but he also needs to improve."

Rahane opened for a season or so,and used to open from the start,only moved down because other openers came along IIRC.Pujara AFAIK has always been MO player in FC and Gambhir has done better?his 40,n 50s arent gonna cut it,its 100s that win games. about his attitude,when was he dead serious?he always used to laugh around,if we accepted it wen he was making runs,why complain now theres as much if not more evidence of GG not getting along with MSD.he even said he wants to be captain IIRC he isnt solid,just dour.35 average is nothin****** he hasnt got any better imo.I'd take Mukund and Vijay over him anyday
Rahane didn't do well as a opener though. Pujara has actually scored runs while opening. Though i don't want either opening. Sehwag's attitude was a problem even then, but he was scoring runs so couldn't be dropped. For 2 years he hasn't been scoring runs at all now. Also, Sehwag has fallen out more with MSD than Gambhir. Vijay is just overrated due to IPL. He has looked clueless at times. Jaffer has consistently scored runs everywhere at every place in FC. See his record and it has improved in recent times even more. Why have FC cricket if you are going to totally discard it ?

:facepalm: He is speaking as if the current bowlers are Marshall and Garner. Hopefully selectors have more sense. He is a status quoist and doesn't want to change anything. Need to remove him from captaincy ffs.

BK will do well in ODIs. He can be handful if there is some movement early on and looks like a handy lower order batsman. He needs to add 5-10Ks if he has to be effective in tests because in longer spells, his speed will come down further and batsmen will have time to play him comfortably when there is no swing. Shami looks like a good prospect for tests and I think he will bowl even quicker as he grows older but he could still play some ODIs and gain more experience by bowling to top class batsmen before getting a test spot.

Same was said about PK, though he had more craft, i guess. And playing ODI's ruins Indian bowlers more often, then helps them.

Let's see if he increases his pace because in places like India where there isnt much help for seam bowlers he wont be effective in tests. He could be good in Eng, SA.

im fine with shami and bhuvan not making debut in tests right now.. they both should be in next tour of south africa and gain experience there and it would be easier to debut there we should concentrate on building batting line up at home in these 4 tests as it will be much tougher for batsmen to debut there

Our pace bowlers are miles better than our current spinners. Would be better to go with the pitches used in Kochi or Mohali against Aussies. :winky:

Need fatwin in good form. The guy is a joke now. Utter brainless.
arre even our quick bowlers are untested and playing on pitches which reverse will be better as yadav even out classed anderson on them and like lord said with our batting line up it will be suicide to have typical mohali track unless new guy is included and he ,kohli and pujara do well
