He has been given enough chances and if he was better than Jadeja or Ashwin he would have been the front line spinner. Mishra was second spinner to be selected after Ashwin even in test matches till Sabina park test where he flopped big time.He is liability on the field also.I am not saying Ashwin and Jadeja are best odi spinners in world but they are still the best we got.Others are too inexperienced. That's the problem. Despite being better odi spinner than Ashwin and jadeja, Mishra was always underplayed. Coz our selectors like to go with big names. Now Mishra is not a test bowler, should never be picked for test matches. Similarly Ashwin isn't an ODI bowler and shouldn't be picked for ODIs. Learn from Pakistan, Australia and srilanka. Why don't they pick Lyon, Herath, Yasir for ODIs? How is a kid like Zampa the frontline spinner of Australia? Okay, if Mishra is a liability in the field, so is Ashwin. If you need a better fielder, go for someone who can attack the batsman like Chahal or Kuldeep, not an overdefensive Ashwin. Edited May 8, 2017 by DDfan2017 Lord 1 Link to comment
randomGuy Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 And actually the 1 guy who deserves a spot in the XI after kohli n dhoni is, Manish Pandey. Got century against Australia, won the match. Great in ipl. Wonderful fielder etc. It would be a shame if he isn't picked in starting 11. DDfan2017 1 Link to comment

WC2011INDIA Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Wow...the selectors still persisting with Rahane. Chutiyas. If he gets a game or two I doubt he will do well. Probably score a duck and a 20 odd. If he manages to do well in whatever chance(s) he gets, I will change my name to RahaneFan4Life. Link to comment

Allthough, on paper I can understand Kenya in 2000 was a tougher opposition than Pakistan. It was IN Kenya, not AGAINST Kenya. Australia it was Yuvi first got to bat against. mishra 1 Link to comment

someone Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Would their have been any complaints with this squad had it been released 1 month ago? Has just the IPL has clearly changed some opinions? Surely, 1 month is too little to judge a player. Link to comment

Nair has played 6 Tests and 7 innings. He has scored 374 runs in all out of which 303* came in just one innings That's as inconsistent you can get. Plus Nair hasn't exactly shown he can thrive overseas as he looks quite uncomfortable against pacers. IMO Iyer should be given a chance as he looks a better all-round player and a better batsman against pacers. Link to comment
