Therein lies the answer.

 

We are looking for test batsmen who can handle the moving ball.

 

Shaw has done that better than most others.

 

 

to be honest even i wasnt keen on throwing shaw so soon but with vijay failing no other option left to go for a youngster , n their no doubt he is a special talent looking at the way he punches the ball 

Their are many in line who have done well in domestic but shaw is a special talent above all  n considering like of dravid n tendulkar pushing him despite knowing his flaws suggest he may have what it takes to be on international level.

If a cricketer is gauged to be a special talent ... and is performing in both FC / List-A  and A-team games ... he should get a chance then.

Iyer wasnt fast tracked he made tons of runs in Domestic n A tours

PAndey n rahul debut before iyer so how was he fats track ahead of him?????

Their is no fixed line, going by the line rishi dhawan was ahead of pandya

Their is no fixed rule, neither their shud be 

U find a special talent pick him, u find a better talent ...to hell with the line

 

thats their problem if they loose hope so soon, international cricket wnt be easy for them if they have that attitude 

So the tons of runs Agarwal scored doesn't get a notice, eh? There was one point where Iyer was preferred ahead of those two and that's how he was able get a lot opportunity.

 

Agarwal is currently an in-form batsman, it's not like he scored those runs couple of years ago. He's clearly head and shoulders ahead of other players in last three domestic seasons. He scored a century in a warm-up match in England A tour and an half century against WI A. The only match he failed was against Lions where he was made to bat in the middle order in order to accommodate Vijay. 

 

If consistent runs doesn't get you a chance, then why do you think the players are going to bother about Test Cricket. What's the point of playing Ranji? 

[Number]

I think IPL has become very important to show the selectors that you can do well at the international level. Mayank probably missed out due to that.

However FC performance are the first criteria to get noticed.

The likes of Surya Kumar Yadav are not in contention becuase of average FC record despite being good at the IPL.

Unnoticed???? he is already in A team and in line for Indian team......if anyone fails now among opener mayank wud be next 

Shaw is also inform 

As a talent Shaw is above him 

 

Their have been ranji legends who didnt do much in international cricket , Ranji stats doesnt gurantee u sucess in international cricket . Ranji is a criteria but its isnt the only criteria 

 

If ranji becomes the only criteria then what wrong has vinay kumar done

I think Karun Nair needs to be given a chance in the middle order.  He did decently in the A-tour to England.  

 

Anyone who can score a test triple century cannot be ordinary.

 It's not just about Ranji, he is also scoring runs for India A. He has just scored 200 against SA and not to mention, the performances I quoted in my previous post. If Shaw was selected on the basis of a talent, then why didn't they select Siraj? If you cannot see a clear pattern here, hen I don't know. First it was with Iyer and now Shaw. Is it the Indian Cricket we are rooting for or the Mumbai Cricket?

It's precisely that trait that for me would make him a better option for now. Older, knows his game better? Shaw possibly too young and needs a season or two more in FC.

All other things being equal..Its not equal in this case...

 

Exceptional talents are fore most priority...only then exposure for more mortal players. Exceptional players are  much greater in  value addition and are what one would call "force multiplier".... there is no equality here. Only for other players, its equal.

 

Anyone who has followed my views would know I do not recommend any u24 batsman for tests...only the odd special talent who can be one in a generation.

N shaw is also performing on A-tour infact he did better then Mayank in england 

Ask selectors, why didnt they select siraj.......fast bowling isnt looking that bit of a problem....,btw why dont u recommend vinay kumar ahead of siraj. Opening spot ws clearly open and if dhawan fails now mayank will get in

 

Now ur question is why Shaw 1st ....many will tell u coz he is a better talent 

 

Whats the pattern??? Iyer what with him....u gave one logic that was tottaly wrong

And then ask yourself, how did a guy like Thakur made into the Test team ahead of Siraj who's been toiling away in domestic Cricket? The same thing is happening with Agarwal, who has been doing it for a much longer time when compared to a noob like Shaw who just played his first FC season.

Ask selectors why are u asking me 

HE has been on Radar for few years

U hve problem when someone gets rewarded for domestic perfomance, u hve a problem when someone talented gets a nod

 

In a team only 16-18 will get selected so u cnt keep everyone happy and not every will get a chance

Much longer doesnt matter if many rates shaw talent higher 

At the end its not about que but about who is better ( n dnt ask me that thakur question again, if selections were 100 % on mark we wud have been a much better team)

[speedheat]

Shaw for me, mayank agrawal is hack+mental midget, poor mans sehwagh.

So let me make it clear for you. When Thakur gets selected it's because he is finally getting rewarded for his domestic performance, who is no doubt inferior to many other bowlers interms of talent, let alone someone like Siraj.

 

And if Agarwal didnt make it, its because there's someone bigger talent than him. 

You make a fine politician.

Every one is getting rewarded for domestic perfomance

Even shaw has performed in domestic n better then mayank on England-A tour where he is going now 

Thakur has been with this team for 1-2 yrs now so he will get the nod, i dnt agree but their is a logic and he hasnt been given a chance in 11 to even dispatch him

 

Mayank vs shaw was a choice and selectors like many thought shaw has a better talent and he has performed every where

Har cheez men politics dhundhte rahoge to bas kuch nhin ho sakta tumhara

 

Oh btw do u think ppl were foolish who have been calling shaw a child prodigy for years... why wasnt mayank called that 

[Ankit_sharma03]

@Lannister

U want a logic ill give u logic

HE is selected for England tour , where both shaw n mayank went on A tours

 

Mayank Agarwal toured for Ind A to England. He scored 69 runs @ avg of 17.25 
Shaw scored 250 runs @ avg of 62.50.

 

this was the result, now u want someone avg 17.50 to be selected over someone who avg 62.50 ( clearly ur asking for something unfair)

 

 

Aggarwal made 0 n 1 against england lions who had woakes n curran( who are playing for engaland)

 

Shaw made 0 n 62 against same bowlers

 

 

Now did Mumbai lobby came n scored for shaw n gave mayank out unfairely

Rubbish. Thakur has been mostly playing LOI cricket and his performance there is a bog average. How did that earn him a test call? And his FC bowling average is a mind-boggling 28.

You are just repeating the same things. I have already answered to that. There is every reason for Mayank to feel he was hard done by some bizzare selections.

Wasnt Thakur  top ranji wkt taker a few seasons ago. Or in the top few anyway. If anything his list A performances are less good. So whilst Ankit, Siraj and others are better prospects he deserves at least a few goes in the A team

 

Clearly Shaws performance in England gave him the nod. Can't argue with that.

 

Would like to see Mayank in a ODI squad soon.

Siraj averages 19 compared to 28 by Thakur. Not to mention Thakur is just an ordinary trundler and his selection in a Test squad is a blasphemy.

That may be true but Agarwal did score 100 in a warm-up game and fifty against WI A. Just recently he scored another double century against SA. He has reasons to be disappointed with the team selections.

their is no reason for him to be disappointed, they both got chances in england against same bowlers n shaw performed 

If mayank feels sad after avg 17 well be sad 

 

Btw shardul has been decent in odi in whatever chances he got, he took a 4-fer in SA and even if shardul case is wrong doesnt mean u hve to repeat it. 2 wrongs dnt make right

Shaw is more talented and has done well in the desired test in the same country against woakes n curran

You are just nitpicking here. Like I said Agarwal has been doing it for a much longer period even before we heard anything about Shaw and he has set some domestic records to his name. To just casually throw it all away just because he couldn't score runs in a match where he was made to bat in the middle order is just biased and disrespectful. I think we are done here. Let's just agree to disagree and leave at it.
