Cricketics Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 KKDK's a superb fielder. By which I mean he jumps and dives enthusiastically around in the infield, but holds onto about 1 in 2 catches in average and tends to swandive over a fair few balls with enough drama to give the impression that he's really, really trying hard and nobody else would have gotten near them. remember the way he drop the catch of strauss while standing @ point in lord's test.. he was trying to take that catch in aussie style, ended up looking a dumb student..

Precisely. Said it before too, he's all "style and attitude" on the field without much substance and I did bet that he dropped the most number of catches (per innings or whatever) among all the players in the team.

Bumper Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Am shocked, Ganguly (one of our most consistent ODI batsman of 2007) has been dropped for Dinesh Karthik. What has KKD done to earn a ODI spot ? Link to comment
Bumper Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Murali Karthik's exclusion is not such a shocker, if you consider that he was the best spinner in India prior to the 2003/04 tour, but was all at sea in Aussie conditions. I dont expect him to do well in these conditions. Link to comment
putrevus Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Is Dhoni against Ganguly this is what cricinfo says It is believed that the captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, wanted to stick with a majority of the squad that won the World Twenty20 last September. What did Dhoni prove to show he is better than Dada. Link to comment

What has KKD done to earn a ODI spot ?[/quote']True to some extent. SCG even with his slow SR did build up many big partnerships with SRT recently. There was no need to drop SCG and for KKD or Raina (another useless player if you ask me). Link to comment

kabira Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Its long long tournament, all you have to do is, play good enuf to reach finals and produce best cricket during finals...very simple.. Tendulkar should be rested 5 out 10 ODIs...he should play key games.. I am happy with the team. Link to comment
Anakin Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 SRT shouldn't play ODIs at all Link to comment
suraj Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Where's the meat now?- Who's going to score runs?? Link to comment
dial_100 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 What a crap discussion on the crap subject. ODIs sucks and Indian ODI team sucks ever more.,... Pointless discussion. If these young bunch have won Bis Bis, they could be effective in 50-50 too. Eventually they will pickup. It was great move. SCG needs to be preserved for Test matches. I am sure SRT will be dropped in the next ODI games and prolly, SG or RD will replace him. These seniour buddhas need to rest lot now a days. If BCCI babus, dont rest RP after this tour then we will see him going ZK, IP or MP route as well. Boy didn't we miss SS in these test matches more than anything else. Like batsman, all the bowlers need to be rotated. MP, RP, ZK, IP, IS and SS should not play more than two serieses at a stretch. BCCI babus... please take note.. Link to comment
Dravid Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 i think he willbe back... dravid was asuprise... once thise young *****es fold in aus... crys of dada-dravid will be back again Link to comment

Sachinism Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 whats with you guys callin for SRT not to play ODI's this guy has scored so many runs lately and you wanna drop him what kinda selection is that, drop the guys that are scoring and pick new players Link to comment

What did Dhoni prove to show he is better than Dada. its ok to look forward to the future, but to drop guys who are scoring runs isnt the smartest move (dont just look at the last few games, but look at ganguly throughout 2007) Link to comment

It'll be good for him and he can concentrate on test matches only. He's the best ODI batsman in the team, and has always been. Link to comment
Ram Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I can imagine Sandeep treating himself to some home-made Kajar ka Halwa ! :d Link to comment
Dooks Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I don't mind RD & SCG being dropped but the way it has all been done is not right. These guys have given a lot to India and deserve to go their way. I would have asked RD before the Pak series that we think you should retire. Do you want to announce your retirement from ODIs? Same should have been told to SCG. These guys deserve at least a decent farewell, i.e. they can announce their retirement (although dropped in reality) & go with head held high. Link to comment
Guest dada_rocks Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 So fileding was the sole criteria.. dude u need socre to defend fileding worries come later who is going to score runs now.. Link to comment
