Sachinism Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Inexperienced. Smashing a few sixes in IPL shouldn't move you ahead of more established cricketers. Picking a player because he could smash a quick 100 is ridiculous. As pointed out above KKD has been instrumental in a test win in England. Definitely deserves first dibs.

How long can he do this? Moreover, Pant averages over 50 in FC cricket and certainly has better glove work than present Karthik. In 2007, Karthik played as a batsman. Here, we are looking for a wicket keeper and Pant is ahead in pure wicket keeping skills. Karthik can for sure take blinders but he also can drop dollies. Yes, for sure, i too in favor Karthik ahead of Pant atm as he has played there before but back keeper should be Pant and not Parthiv Patel. Selectors made this same mistake before too when we played at home against England and Saha got injured, they brought in PP who dropped regulation catches and then he again replaced Saha is SA and cost us a test match with his drops. flamy and beetle 2 Link to comment

Karthik is for sure a better slogger than Pant, but Pant is the better batsman. Pant is also the better wicketkeeper. No logic to your claims whatsoever!

Since when is dk an established cricketer? 13 years since his debut and he's not established yet. We do not want just because he smashed a 'few' sixes. We want him because he's the next best option next to Saha. Edited July 10, 2018 by Laaloo Suhaan, express bowling, cowboysfan and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment
Turning_track Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Would definitely miss Saha for his work behind the stumps, if you compare battingwise DK is a safer bet than Saha imo in overseas. If Pant was in selectors radar the signs would've been shown already. He's hasnt featured in t20s since March, so its either between DK & PP. Wont mind young Pant as a backup for DK rather than Mr.Pappu who's a complete disaster. The Dark Horse, beetle and UrmiSinhaRay 1 2 Link to comment
UrmiSinhaRay Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Pant will never get into the Indian Team unless he decided to part time in the Dhoni Mansion as Ziva's nanny and also do the remaining menial kaam in the houseSent from my CPH1609 using Tapatalk Suhaan and Turning_track 2 Link to comment

Dhoni has retired from Tests and DK is not far away. Both should not be in India's plans anymore. beetle 1 Link to comment

Average close to 45, safe as a house behind the stumps and has that winning mentality having recently been part of a team that lifted a major trophy Even Pant wanted that experience as can be seen in post torunament celebrations and pics Massive troll Edited July 10, 2018 by lamellavig UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Laaloo Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Seems like those advocating for dk because he hit a few half centuries 11 years ago would also have no problem if we recall rp Singh again. Rp Singh did have more success than dk did right? cowboysfan, express bowling, putrevus and 1 other 4 Link to comment

This selection committee talks big game but has not done anything to prove it. beetle 1 Link to comment

jf1gp_1 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Is this a serious thread ? Pant isn’t even in loi setup and you expect him to keep in England at test level. Laaloo 1 Link to comment
