beetle Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Rahul can't be worse than dk. Atleast that way he will get a other test to play. Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Utthappa, Dinesh Karthik, Sanju Samson,Rayyudu, Pant, CK are not good for test levels. IPL and domestic matches they are fine. Their mistakes are not highlighted because hardly few get to watch full Ranji matches. But we see them mess in 20 overs IPL matches. Saha injury is a big blow. Link to comment

How can a newbie be sent when chief selector publicly said , none of the youndters is ready to replace the msd. But Karthik is not as newbie. He has represented us in early 2000 hasn't he. He and Pappu are the most capped keepers iirc. Uthappa maybe third most represented keeper ? Edited January 16, 2018 by Straight Drive Link to comment
jusarrived Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Nice to see us unearthing new talents and giving them opportunities with every series . This has been so refreshing to see , look at just wicket keeping alone . Young Saha as main stay for next 10 years , little parthiv and exciting talent DK as backups . I agree with KT , we are going to dominate cricket ..just have to persist with these , along with the likes of Rohit , Dhawan , Ishant etc am sure it will eventually payoff beetle and saik 2 Link to comment

Oh yes, that statement by Prasad. But there was some truth in it. I don't see any one better than Saha as well. Saha was the best one we could choose and they did pick him as first choice. There was so much movement and still he did not mess any opportunities. I am not sure with others. Whenever i have seen them in IPL the ball goes between their legs for 4, they miss edges against spinners etc. Only NZ are blessed with two decent keepers. Watling and Latham. They have been good against pace. TOm Blundell who was their third preferred keeper looks okay as well. Link to comment

But the newbies( in case of replacement ) can't be worse than pp and dk who is no longer a full time keeper for his state team . Edited January 16, 2018 by beetle Mosher 1 Link to comment

Not sure who are full time keepers now. Rishabh Pant fromt the long term prospects. Anyone else. Link to comment

CG Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Seems it's last test for Parthiv Good bye Midget. Link to comment
Laaloo Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I don't think I ever expected Karthik to be a mainstay in all 3 formats heck I don't think he ever dreamt of this happening Such sad state of affairs Jimmy Cliff and beetle 2 Link to comment
putrevus Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) Why are we becoming conspiracy theorists, that is reserved for neighbours. Saha was injured and Kohli was forced to used Pappu who is useless so DK another useless fellow is being flown in. Would have liked to see a young keeper instead but Saha's injury is not fake..

Sending Pant now would put ODI wk spot at risk as well.. in case Pant does reasonably well. Laaloo and beetle 2 Link to comment
