They just won a One day series. Any sign of things to come with that?

[mishra]

^ Exactly

[Laaloo]

lol

[Laaloo]

you've been hanging out with fineleg recently by any chance?

[Vilander]

I dont know cook and Miller, seems SA had a hopefuls batting lineup, ours is a bowling lineup, karun is a reject, Iyer as people pointed out is the only up and coming batsman in there. siraj has done well, Aniket did not.

[express bowling]

I like it that Indian bowlers have been able to pick up 15 wickets for a reasonable amount of runs.

 

Siraj        5 wickets

Nadeem  4 wickets

Navdeep  3 wickets

 

have impressed

Looks like India's bowling stock is looking great, but batting not so much. We don't have batsmen who can replace current lot in the event of injury or out of form..have to always go back to oldies like Karthik, Yuvraj, gambhir, Parthiv etc.

[Sooda]

The batting was missing Mukund, Panchal and I know Pandey wasn't in the FC squad but he should have been. Anyway would have missed out as he's in SL

Indian A results and Indian under 19 results completely unimportant 

 

what's important is individual performances i.e. Producing and unearthing a star for main india team

totally agree with you....

 

but who are those?....esp in batting department for tests....looks like we have to fall back on dhawan and rohit......

 

Good that Manish Pandey has shown his worth in one days......

 

I am thinking that manish pandey has the temperament to play tests, as well

    Yes.   We may not see these as ready right now. But selectors need to  zero in on  2-3 of these guys and make them iron out their    flaws and tighten up their technique and temperament. Dravid should be of help here. 

    i think we should invest in Iyer , Nair , Pandey as of now.

    Lot of youngsters' game is influenced by ODI and hence we see bit of loose technique & patience . 

    I hope they can improve their game  against seam and short pitched bowling and then they are almost ready esp. Iyer .

never saw him but heard quite a bit about him....

India A won the second game against SA A. Is this another sign of things to come or perhaps not ?

How many players we got from U-19s or A-teams? Few only. Majority of our players didn't come from such route, so the results are not significant. It's just like football, because most U-19 players eventually fail to live-up.

Quite a few have come through U-19s team. If I remember correct - Kohli, Jadeja, Yuvraj, Dhawan, Pujara, Rohit, KL Rahul

You are wrong. Many came to the team on the basics of strong first-class performances. Perhaps it was Kohli and Yuvraj who really made a successful transformation into the senior team from U19s. Also, we got more players from IPL than U19s or A-teams.

 

The importance of such junior or reserve games is not much really.

Well FYI even Kohli and Yuvraj had a good domestic season or two before they made it to senior team. The point is U19s are a feeder to the domestic system and most players invariably are of a higher calibre who perform well in domestics and get into senior team.

The point is majority of U-19 players will never successful get into senior team. Look at stars like Unmund Chand or Menaria. There are some exceptions like Kohli whom build upon their U-19 career. And then some players like Dhawan whom failed at beginning but eventually got in the team later due to IPL/domestic cricket.
