Don't worry some random low IQ Indian kirket fans will enjoy this ... All they want is Boobie bhaiya Aquib Nabi and Gandul Cumbhoj with eggsperience of 40 year old Shami bhai

 

 

There is a lot of talk of Bhuvi and Shami playing WC 27.

 

If Laxman comes this may happen along with Mukesh Kumar coming in too.

 

 

[putrevus]

If Laxman becomes selector, he will atleast not sideline players based on dressing room gossips and players won't be sidelined due to their religion.

 

What great pace sensations has Agarkar unearthed.Has he done anything in his tenure.

Siraj didnt get sidelined, he is playing in his preferred format (Tests).

Shami is out since 2023 in Tests, way before AA or GG came into power. It would have been so good had Shami bowled alongside Bumrah in Australia instead of Siraj. 

Now he is 35-36 y.o., we need Gurnoor, Harshit, Ashok to step up. Dont think Khaleel, Avesh, Rasikh are of international quality. Aaqib has got his window, but based on IPL, he looks a bang mediocre trundler.

Atleast he has given chances to Gurnoor, Ashok, Mayank instead of Tried & Tested failures like Avesh, Mukesh, Khaleel, Unadkut, Kambojh...who were heavily favoured by Dravid.

Agarkar had one great positive he back Young players and he have no fear to kick out oldies 

[The Dark Horse]

Feels like Agarkar was a mere pawn of Gambhir.

Agarkar maybe hated by low IQ ret@rded fanclubs of Rohit and Koli and so called kirket YouTubers but he has my respect for dragging us out of Mukesh Koomar, Avesh Unadkat Deepak Hooda, Khaleel, Boobie era...

 

His only blemish is having Kamboj making his test debut based on Chuski fanclub social media hype.

 

Haaarceeb fans are clamouring for Rasikh dar similarly.  Hopefully he doesn't gives in to those jokers.

 

But at least he course corrected after that.

There were rumors that Agarkar backed Jurel and Sarfaraz for the England series when Dravid wasn't keen on playing those two

Jurel Akashdeep were picked based on eye test of Agarkar... Both turned the series on its head in Ranchi

Agarkar had issues but he back Young players unlike most of ex Indian players

To be fair, Kamboj had at least one, maybe 2, excellent domestic red ball seasons. And then they played him on a paTTa wicket where 1500 runs were scored, 2 days after he arrived in England with no time to practice with whatever brand of ball they use there. 

 

Not saying that Kamboj is a great (or even good) bowler, but he sure was not set up to succeed in his debut match.

Why was Shami sidelined to begin with , why is Sarfraz not getting a chances. Samson who won world t20 on his own gets sidelined after three bad matches. What more evidence you need that this bozo is sideining players based on religion.

 

Previous guys gave chances to Umran too if he did not  do justice it is not their fault. Gurnoor was selected as a last resort.

 

Super Kamboj made debut under Agarkar.If he was so pace friendly guy Gurnoor would have played in England.

 

Agarkar is as useless as they come.He has no vision and tried to screw with multiple players careers.He is same idiot who recalled Karun Nair who everyone knew would fail.

 

He has kept giving chances to useless bits and pieces players.

 

So Laxman cannot be worse than this guy.

Shami & Sarfaraz weren't ignored by him.

It was a different committee...Agarkar just continued the process.

Yeah, you can blame him for not backing them...but he didnt pull the kill switch.

 

Agarkar isnt 100% guilt proof, he lives in India so here and there trundlers like Kamboj will get chances, but once he failed, door is closed on him (atleast for now).

Agarkar selected Gurnoor without playing IPL, brought in Mayank despite him failing in IPL. Accelerated Ashok's career from being in fringes to representing India. Ignoring the Social Media abuses where they were calling Gurnoor, Ashok as GT quota selection..over Rasikh, Aaqib, Bhuvi etc.

 

I dont care about what likes of DK, Akash Chopra says...but if someone like Ashwin or Ravi Shastri starts creating their WC team and include likea of Bhuvi in it and Gurnoor out of it..you can sense the narrative which is being pushed at.

Yes they were, Shami last played for India during CT2025  and Sarfraz last played 2024 .From then this moron asked Shami to prove his fitness and still nothing .Samson gets kicked out of the team .All were done by this idiot.

 

Nobody cares what Akash chopra or any other media guys say.

 

He does not get credit for bringing Gurnoor when guy like Kamboj makes test debut under him.

 

Once again this guy is as useless as they come.

 

How can Laxman do worse than this guy.

This is typical Indian ex-cricketer approach. 

 

Just pick the well known names and seniors. 

 

Frankly speaking this is why people like Ganguly, Gambhir or Agarkar are needed. They may have issues but they try to bring to the fore high potential youngsters. 

 

And Shastri's commentary proves that it was Kohli who deserves all the credit for our vicious test match pace attack of 2016 to 2022.  Shastri was the one who probably preferred Bhuvi over Shami in ODIs. 

[putrevus]

Shastri is 100 times better coach than Gambhir or Ganguly ever will be, what great youngsters has Gambhir unearthed, he has played useless bits and pieces players like Sundar and Jurel at number 3 and number 4 in tests. He has screwed teams in all formats.

 

Gambhir has destroyed unbeatable t20 team.Ganguly is another idiot who could not be off the limelight while being BCCI president and  tried to dictate what Kohli should and should not do as a captain.

 

Selectors and coaches are there , BCCI president has no business in telling what captain has to do, Is Binny doing the same thing.Ganguly could not stay out of limelight.

 

Mcgrath won player of the tournament at age of 37, Adam Gilchrist was 36 Both of them played vital role in Aussies winning the cup.Shami, Rohit and Kohli all are in that class.Nothing wrong in them playing world cup.This idiot Agarkar ruined odi team by gifting Gill captaincy in odis who has never performed in any tournament.

Our ex cricketers arent passionate about the game, that saddens me a lot.

Any discussion involving ex cricketers as well, and you will barely hear any insight from them. Simple rhetoric cheerleading. At max, they will talk about the technical insight when a particular batter has changed something.

 

In comparison, when I hear likes of Pontinh, Gilchrist, Bishop in commentary...you can see that they are involved in the game. They arent just parroting whats happening but are also suggesting what the x batter or y bowler can do different. 

 

Saw a short of Srinath where he spoke about Shane Warne kept on talking to him for hours regarding fast bowling. Srinath was surprised that being a leg spinner, this guy is so observant about fast bowling. These are the nuances which our players fail to develop/acquire. 

 

I have only heard Ganguly, Agarkar & recently Varun Aaron talk about that. But nothing from the others. I hoped Ashwin would be different but he too is a pied-piper.

Shami played Ranji , IPL and proved his fitness.Agarkar made it personal and didn't select Shami.Shami should have been selected in the squad and let coach and captain decide whether they play him in the 11.

 

Unfit players are selected in the squad.Sai who is not fit is selected and even today no replacement is named and they are waiting for him to get fit.
Why this royal treatment for selected players.

 

Sarfaraz is critically ignored .What has he done that he can't be selected.

Every dom dick and harry are selected except him He is not even considered for A team.

Three wicket keeper,4 allrounders are selected in the playing 11.

 

There is a clear bias for players representing GT and we can see numbers of players in squad.

 

Even injured Bumrah is replaced but superstar Sai Sudharshan from GT may play on 1 leg.

[Suhaan]

Ganguly did the most beautiful thing ever to happen by kicking out Kohli out of loi captaincy,chewt got kicked out,and we started winning trophies

Never take Ashwin seriously,he thinks he's too smart

Most of the Indian ex cricketers are very selfish which they tried to curb in their playing days,but sooner or later it has to resurface

Shastri was just a Kohli cheerleader,he was nothing else,if you bring him now believing he's a good man manager,he will fail spectacularly,besides this he seems a cunning shrewed person who knows how to keep floating by boarding the strongest ship

Kohli was in his prime,he thought no better thing to do than freeloading and praising Kohli day in and day out as doing reverse may cause loosing his free lunch

I don't expect any technicality or nuances of the game from Shastri,he has been stale since 90s,
