Lord Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 15 hours ago, vvvslaxman said: I back Sarfraz. But if he is serious about national selection he bloody has to sweat his ass off and lose a lot of weight. I am all for his selection right now. But selectors clearly look for fitness. So he should address that. If he doesn't do that that means he is not serious about his international career. Uthappa had a medical condition. He just could not lose weight. But he bloody worked hard. I expect such commitment from these players. There is a huge incentive playing for India. Why is this guy not realizing it? Why this doesnt apply to Rohit? Captain can't be fat himself and ask for slim players express bowling and Chakdephatte 1 1 Link to comment

Vijy Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Sarfaraz is unfortunately quite useless vs 140K pace. I used to be a big supporter of him; now, I believe he is a lot more limited than I expected. can still avg around 45 by scoring heavily at home, in SC, and on flat pitches. Moving on, Gill is truly demonstrating that he is a flat pitch expert. should not be opening in tests for sure, and might even not warrant a place in tests given his LOI excellence Link to comment

What's the batting coach there for. Otherwise hes quite good v spin and relatively free scoring player Link to comment

Lord Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 2 hours ago, Vijy said: not really. most Ind players who were bad vs quick pace (azhar, gangu, raina) remained bad for the most part still had good careers. Especially Gangu and Azhar in Tests Link to comment
Vijy Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 4 minutes ago, Lord said: still had good careers. Especially Gangu and Azhar in Tests yes, but they did little of note in SA and Oz barring isolated knocks. I agree sarfaraz can be that kind of player too. should do well enough in SC, WI, and maybe Eng/NZ if not green pitches Link to comment

They played whole career like this yes, sarfaraz is ok with me. no. 1 ?? no. 2 jaiswal no. 3 ?? no. 4 gill no. 5 sarfaraz no. 6 pant would like to see sundar somewhere in the mix. if he can return well from injuries and rediscover batting form, he can even play in top order Lord 1 Link to comment
Vijy Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 As expected, Gill makes a flashy 20(25). should play in MO (and maybe not even be persisted with in tests) Link to comment

Thats the best we have. These clowns Pujara/Rohit/Kohli/Rahane remotely achieved anything like Tendulkar/Dravid/Laxman/Sehwag in Tests. Why are they not phasing them out. Ideally all can be kicked out the same time. An year back Pujara and Rahane were out of the side. Now they are back. Never in the wildest dreams i expected Rahane to come abck. Link to comment

Thats the best we have. Is it for overseas tests ? Then I will go with Jaiswal Rohan Kunnummal/Abhimanyu Easwaran Ruturaj Gill No 5 can be from Rinku, Baba Indrajith or even Hanuma Vihari. Hanuma Vihari can set perfectly in a team which has stroke players 1-4 and at 6 (Pant). Link to comment
