Vilander Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 He will be Sashtri's by extension Kohli loyal servant. And also Srini/Dhoni by extention Ganguly. All is good, all boys young and old club will be happy with MR. 'got the elevation not the distance'. will be fun looking at the melt down here for any TN player being selected..lulz. look at that style. adi B and nevada 2 Link to comment

sandeep Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 5 hours ago, express bowling said: Siva likes fast bowlers and appreciates it when they are bowling quick. And, as said above, he likes wrist spinners too. Our bowling may benefit when he becomes chief selector. His fierce loyalty to Srinivasan - the guy who saved him from financial ruin - is well-known. I just hope he can do his job objectively. sandsaims 1 Link to comment

MSK and co. were selectors during BCCI’s lowest phase but still they had to bow down to the power center under their regime that is Kohli and Co. However regardless of how boring and one dimensional he comes across in the commentary box, I have heard he does have a good cricketing brain from his peers, so let’s hope he makes the best out of what he is allowed to do. express bowling 1 Link to comment

The Realist Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Quote MSK Prasad himself is close to securing a mouth-watering Telugu commentary deal and will be starting his new job as soon as his tenure ends. Looks like LS has already unearthed two new talents for the next squad... raki05, adi B, Mosher and 2 others 5 Link to comment

Played his last test in Jan 2019, last ODI in Aug 2019 and last T20 in Feb 2019. A guy who is averaging 24, 23 and 12 in Tests, ODIs and T20Is respectively. Not picked for Tests vs WI, SA and now BD. Not picked for T20s vs SA and BD Not dropped, just a small matter of not getting any game time at all and mentally destroyed by this TM. Cricwala, Adamant, sandsaims and 3 others 6 Link to comment

We haven't played many ODIs. He isn't a great T20 bowler and it can ruin him mentally like it happened in IPL. He hasn't been the same since then and TM is rightly giving him time to recover. He was poor in WC as well. putrevus 1 Link to comment
Rightarmfast Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Is this guy a stooge for srinivasan? Anyway, this guy doesnt have a back. Too much of sunny bhai sunny bhai. To the extent, that he even copies sunny's tone and his lingo! Link to comment
Cricwala Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 LS is an establishment man and beholden to N Srinivasan ...he might have an eye for talent and exposure to domestic performers due to his BCCI commentary work, but I don't see him being able to push anyone Kohli-Shastri don't want. So maybe leggies like Gopal will get into A squads, but guys like Pant, Kuldeep, Gill, Saini should not expect any relief from LS. The big K will continue deciding fate of talented youngsters. Don't expect much from Ganguly too - he has already said 'Kohli is most important person in Indian cricket'. And Ganguly still believes he was a victim for being dropped in 2005 - but it was the right call at the time, and it spurred Ganguly to make a comeback an year later and play some of his best cricket for another 2 years. I agree with others that best chief selectors we had in recent past were More and Vengsarkar from 2004-08 period, when several bold moves were made and youngsters backed. This move, if true, also marks a clawing back by N Srinivasan into BCCI affairs - not a good thing IMO. Srini is good at power games to keep ICC in check, but unfortunately he interferes in cricketing matters and is nepotistic. As the man responsible for one of the biggest messes Indian cricket has seen (IPL match-fixing saga & cover up), his re-entry does not bode well. Hope Ganguly and Thakur have enough clout to keep Srini mama in check. Although anything is better than the SC/CoA s**t show. sandsaims, Khota, sergio04 and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment

Another opportunity missed. Vengsarkar was crying because Rahane wasn't selected in WC squad, yeah an enlightened mind. Edited November 20, 2019 by Gollum Stan AF 1 Link to comment
Gollum Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Kuldeep sucked in the WC campaign, before that cried over a tuchchh IPL match. Some ICFers here want us to believe he is 10xWarne LOL. After the meltdown he was having, he must thank selectors for giving him some vacation time.

Khota Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Team selection should be done by metrics/AI etc. Human should have some input but nottotal input. Link to comment
