Chepu is going to be a beast in this series. 500 run series coming up for him.

He was just trolling everyone and was not scoring runs in FC season to give false hopes to the English. 

His average is awful outside India.

How can this guy say that statement  all he did with Yorkshire was bat worse than no 11 batsman.

I would not start Pujara for first test , Rahul would be my no3. They can take a call after first two tests.

[gattaca]

So many critics for Pujara. I feel he will be the key contributor this series. He just played on tough pitches also Yorkshire is in top grade county cricket. 

[Lannister]

He was getting jelly because no one had selected him in the IPL and there was a lot of bitching about it infront of the media. 

 

Now he looks utter silly because he can't even buy runs in the only format that he's known for. This England tour will expose the total hack he is. 

[Sgattick10]

Kick this guy out and bring Shaw or Gill @ 3 

[Trichromatic]

Out for 1 run in practice match.

 

Survived 7 balls though. SR of 14, so he is test material

[Switchblade]

Out for 1 against Essex

He was giving interview to India tv before the tour as if he was a batting expert on English conditions.

Yeah, he was just scouting the oppostion batsmen from the slips. I'm not sure if that makes him an expert, but I bet Yorkshire overpaid for a specialist slip catcher.

I definitely don't want him to start in Edgbaston but if he indeed gets a chance hope he smashes a 100 and shuts the mouths of haters. He looks like a top bloke and a sincere trier, too much hate for him here. Yup he has failed mostly in SENA countries but it isn't because of lack of trying, he has also compensated for his overseas shortcomings by his stellar home record....we got to no 1 and avoided an embarrassing home series loss to Australia because of 3-4 players and Che was one of them . Criticize him sure but there should be a limit, no need to mock his career and relegate him as some dispensable piece of trash. Even if he calls it a day today he will be remembered as a candidate for all time India XI in Asian pitches and that isn't a sign of a loser.

Outscored Dhawan. Booked his place in the XI for the first Test .

[WC2011INDIA]

ok bro. 

 

 

[vvvslaxman]

I am going to remove  "and co." from that statement. Virat Kohli is better prepared not sure about everyone else. Especailly guys like Pujara. If anything he is worse prepared than before.

[coffee_rules]

My guess is RJS-Kohli will make him sit out for T1-2. Unless others fail, I don't see him playing in the 11 for T1, especially after agaist Essex, very much like his summer county experience. He is horribly out of form. Will only play if Dhawan is dropped, which is highly unlikely consier Kohli likes his delhi yaars.

you should be the last person to pontificate about hate here, having read your diatribes against the likes of Kohli and Dhoni 

[rtmohanlal]

how badly wish for this hack to fail in the 2nd inns again so much so that he is permanently not allowed to enter any where  near Indian dressing room let alone playing a single game in this series. Come onnnnnnn  haaack.... just one more of your brilliant performance in ENG....

[Kohlifan]

Yep, apart from me everybody seems better prepared for this season. I was busy eating ducks in the meantime i was in england.
