You are sounding like a padosi now who are happy with these choti choti khushiyan It is not an utter failure either. Everyone sounds like a padosi to you in some way though, maybe because you know what its like to be one. kira, Rasgulla and Shunya 2 1 Link to comment

Guess what we are again going with the same set of players for 2017 CT as well. Dude were you sleeping in 2014. We reached finals. Sidhoni and DDfan2017 2 Link to comment
The Realist Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Considering the resources India has and the limited number of cricketing nations, reaching the semi-finals should be the bare minimum. Going to another tournament with more or less the same team shows a failure to learn from past mistakes. sandeep, Ultimate_Game and Lannister 3 Link to comment

sandeep Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I don't trust Indian media reporting to be accurate when it comes to cricket news. Its a bit unfortunate that if a captain wants a quality left-arm pace option in his squad, Nehra is right up there in the choices, old age, creaky bones and all. Zaheer and Nehra need to spend a couple of weeks a year at the pace academy with the likes of Thampi, Sran, Nathu, Siraj etc. Wouldn't that be a great thing to see in the 'off-season'.

As I said it isn't some media just doubt it for hits.PTI has reported it and just circulated to other medias.PTI is neither for hits or profit to make up this . They are basically like Reuters in India. Link to comment

BeautifulGame Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 That doesn't make them reliable. Cricket journalism in India is rife with rumor mongering and shoddy reporting. PTI is reliable.There is a difference between news agency and media tabloidism. As I say in every country media it is rife with rumor and tabloid stuff.Just have to differentiate between the reliable ones. Link to comment
Ultimate_Game Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 2 hours ago, jusarrived said: Only kuldeep overall has the potential . The problem with others you have listed is that we cannot play them in all formats it will always be difficult to play them ahead of both Jadeja who are world class in 2 formats and decent in other , Chahal is very good for shorter formats and hes been picked for that . I have been a mishra fan , but hes a Dinesh Karthik of spin bowling , chokes at international level . Nadeem and Axar are no better than Jadeja . I disagree. Nadeem would be in my list as well along with Kuldeep. The guy has the ball on a string and can vary his pace and length subtly. Very tough to go after him IMO. DDfan2017 1 Link to comment

sscomp32 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 No matter what the source i find it tough to believe. But its absolutely pathetic if this is true. And If he is favouring dilliwala's please add pant too. He needs to be in the side not these oldies. Link to comment
Zero_Unit Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Might as well bring back Ajit Agarkar into the squad aswell ... Last time I checked, this fella had been struggling in IPL with his 4 over quotas. Link to comment
