coverpoint Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 I mean he looked real bad in the last game. I have argued hard for his inclusion and him getting more chances ... but thought of something. Sometimes if a player is thrown in too early it could have a huge impact on their development. I NOW feel that Raina was thrown into International cricket a bit too early ... and had he waited before making his debut he could have been better served. Eli Manning (NY Giants QB) is said to have been thrown in too early and they say it impacted his development .. and he took a couple of extra years to mature because of it. Do people feel MT too is being brought in too early and he could use another year or so in the domestics or with the A team?
Ram Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Hahah.. Mate, he was/is/has been ready for international cricket for nearly a year now. Cant exactly recollect in which series he was selected before but dislocated his shoulder in training. Was it against BD ? He was touted an excellent batsman then, if anything he must have gotten better
Cricketics Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 the way he was playing that day.. it looked like he was under "JET LAG" may be he deservz a chance but shoudn't have been played in 1st odi he was under big jet lag, i tell yaa
suraj Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 I voted he should play more domestics but I hope I am proven wrong Raina defintiely was too young to be thrown to the lions- MT may still benefit from the tour Down Under BTW since when did you start doing polls??
ranj Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 I have no idea whether he's ready for ODI cricket. And neither does anyone else. He's played one game.

I was accused by some powers that be in the place "u know where" that I am acting like Finey. I thought I should complete the circle and make their words true :)
coverpoint Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 I have no idea whether he's ready for ODI cricket. And neither does anyone else. He's played one game. If we knew all the answers and there was no conjectures or opinions ... then there would be no debate and no site for discussion :)

Dravid Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 he was suppose to play his 1st game against bangla..that would have been better for him... but got injured..and now got aus,lol
yoda Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 A related question: Is he one of the best we have to offer at the international level?
ranj Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 If we knew all the answers and there was no conjectures or opinions ... then there would be no debate and no site for discussion :) For sure. I've got no problems in you guys shooting the breeze about this, debate away. But I'd be wary about forming anything close to a valid opinion on the strength of a couple of overs.
coverpoint Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 You can never reach finey's heights-apna lifetime ban karwa ke dikhao tab mane I am getting up there in terms of annoyance value. Mai baap se khoob khul ke hui hai. Mauka mile to check karo VIP section :)

I think the poll really is a bigger question on readiness of our boys when they come from domestics
arkay Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Come on guys. Go easy on him. Will ya. Irrespective of how good a player is, they need to have a bit of practice before they are ready to face someone like Brett Lee. That is why in the beginning of every tour, we have practice games. To begin with, Tiwari would have faced the likes of Brett Lee in India. In addition, he is making his international debut and is facing brett Lee in one of the paciest environment that you can imagine. So please don't pre-judge him based on one outing. I will reserve my comments after the end of series. I also think we have so many youngsters who need nuturing in the middle. Lack of someone to guide them in the middle would certainly make / break someone's career. I hope either sachin / yuvraj is there in the middle to guide them.
DesiChap Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Is this poll for real Come one this way Gangs, Dravid and many more would never have made it.
coverpoint Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 Is this poll for real Come one this way Gangs' date=' Dravid and many more would never have made it.[/quote'] Its a bloody question thats been asked! No one is prejudging anything. Infact on the contrary I have been asking for him getting atleast 3 games in a row just to be fair. Its a questiion I wanted people to discuss. Is that too much to ask?
Sachinism Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 i've heard so much about this guy and seen him score plenty of runs (cricinfo scorecards) but never seen him on tv or anything b4 the 1st ODI and i must admit he really looked out of sorts, he didnt have a clue against lee but he must have something, theres been a lot of hype, im sure that hasnt been for no reason, so give him a lil more time, maybe against weaker opposition or maybe it was just he was jetlagged
fineleg Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 CP, MT did not have a great domestic season (atleast so say folks who follow domestics a lot more closely than I do). If thats the case, the best thing would be for him to get into form and display his form + wares in domestics and then work his way into national odi squad. Having said that, now that he is here, I hope he can perform. But if I had to vote before he was selected, it would have to be - Go to domestics, and find ur form there, and then come back.
Online Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 A related question: Is he one of the best we have to offer at the international level? Mohd. Kaif This is not to say MT will be a failure, but we need Kaif
Dravid Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 naah, kaif is done and dusted.. :P tiwary will do good...stick with him
