India A tour of South Africa, 2013


Recommended Posts

Is there a chance our South African lucky mascot Nostril santh can make a come back?
We should give up on him..doesn't look fit, has a poor work ethic and is way too tempramental..PK is the one whom Dhoni should ask to be fit and firing come the SA tour. PK, BK, Shami, Umesh and Irfan Pathan should be our attack if the pitches are anything like what we saw vs Pak.

He will be in ODI squad' date=' if not he can be there in place of Jeevanjot but he already has SA experience. Even Kohli can be a part of this team then we can have one less seamer.[/quote'] I guess, I just want all players to have enough match practice in South Africa

This should be the team:- Openers:-Vijay,Dhawan,Mukund.(Jiwanjit should come in if Vijay or Dhawan is not available). Middle-order batsmen:-Rahane,Rohit,Rayudu,Manpreet Juneja. Wk/bat:-CM Gautam,Aditya Tare(has scored more runs than Uday,Saha & Ojha). Spinners:-Rasool,Nadeem. Seamers:-Shami,Sid Kaul,Mohit Sharama,Ishwar Pandey. This team is based on good performance in this year's FC season & some players with genuine talent.Players like Pujara,Kohli,Jadeja,Umesh,BK,Ashwin will miss the tour due to intl duty.

The SA A tour is important but more importantr will be the schedule of the practice matches before the test series. The team needs at least 17-18 days in SA and hopefully 3 FC matches before getting into the 1st test. With a young side, the BCCI should also look at hiring a batting coach for the national team someone like a VVS or Rahul Dravid would be the best fit or for that matter Jimmy Paaji.

I would ask Mukund to tour instead of Jiwanjot, I know he has not set the Ranji trophy alight but he has test experience and showed good grit in England and WI. Hopefully he has overcome the tendency to drag deliveries on to his stumps. Jiwanjot can be allowed another season in Ranji before a A team tour, prove he is not one season wonder. Plus Mukund was A team captain not long ago and BP XI captain vs Aus so it shows consistency In addition Pankaj Singh instead of Mohit, he deserves a call up after being so consistent for so long. Only other differences to my squad above is Uday Kaul as back up wk instead another bat in Bist..Kaul is a good top order bat if needed...Id put Nadeem in as a specialist spinner but Jadeja is better option to give him experience and Kulkarni is a good call up, think 16 players will be needed I hope there are changes for the limited overs matches- Uthappa, Kedhar Jadhav, Saxena, Nechim Ahmed and Wagh should all feature in those

I forgot Mukund. He can be there for Jeevanjot. Pankaj is out of favor, so I believe they are not going to pick him. He was not even called for fast bowlers camp. Only great performance in IPL can eanable him back in limelight. Mohit Sharma is already identified as a test bowler by Fletcher along with Wagh so one or both them have possibilities to make that team. Kaul is a good player but we need more specialist middle order batsmen and Bist is an able batsman

Look A tours are not for established test players like Kohli and Pujara. They are busy enough as it is. Its for non test players. Young players who are not in team who we hope to develop and prove they can go in to team, not for I Pathans for example
They are yet to become an established test player oversees.

We will need someone for sachin and a batsman at 6, as no way dhoni can bat 6 overseas. This A tour should be used to see who can fill thois spots. Rayudu and Rohit would be my 2 but lets see how they do on A tour. Winner takes all:--D
What about Tiwary or Bist? Its been unfair towards both tbh
