Nilesh was very tall, got thrown in a very flat pitch and got discarded, way superior than Sunil Joshi, looked good in a odi in Pakistan 97, ankola, vaidya, Ganesh, sidhu, vengsarkar, shastri, wv raman, Vikram rathore another tall batsman, seems like Indian cricketers have gone shorter.

Even SS das was 6'1. 

Dravid 6 foot

Ganguly himself was close to 6 foot

Laxman 6'1 6'2

Ramesh thats the one. Sorry I got confused. Ramesh is 6 foot. Not ss das. He is a shortie. Jaffer is ? Not sure.

Jaffer was a inch or more taller than dravid, around 185 cm, we think back and it feels stupid how chopra was played ahead of him all throughout 2003 and 2004, jaffer missed out on some easy pitches of Pakistan, he scored runs in wi, SA, eng, at home against Pak, thrashed akthar, Sohail tanvir, kaneria around, couple of failures in aus and he was dropped, imo better player than gambhir in tests

Jaffer's problem was he was too slow and can never score at a brisk pace even if situation demanded. Hence just like Pujara he will eat up lot of balls but won't score much.
I remember vs England, there was a test when likes of Bhajji and MSD came above Laxman to score quickly. Jaffer got a hundred but as soon as the message to accelerate came, he struggled and then lost his wicket.
Also, IIRC he was predominantly a front foot player and had issues against short pitched deliveries.

He was a back foot player. Hardly had any front foot game.

The tyagis seem to love cricket, quite a few going around, Sudeep tyagi another Indian pacer wasted.

Shoulder injury during a ranji game around 2011-12 ruined his career. He was single handedly winning games for UP in that season.

He had similar skill set to Ishant, probably needed to get a bit stronger, but he should have played ahead or picked ahead of Mithun for the sl series in 2010, this was about the same time when Abu nechim ahmed was doing well, dinda to should have played test cricket, parwinder Awana another, so tyagi, Awana, nechim, natu Singh, pankaj Singh, Kamran Khan all these potential international quality pacers were destroyed, we went with trundlers pk, Vinay, munaf.

Purnak tyagi is a very good player by the looks of it. 

 

Yup, his inswingers are similar to Siraj's, deadly and accurate.
His action is very similar to Kartik....they both run quick and take a good leap before loading into action. Kartik looks taller but Purnank's inswingers are a delight.
I don't know why he's not yet picked in any of the IPL auction, him and Sushant Mishra are much better picks than likes of Baltej Singh.
