Heard Nikhil Naz on ST that they are still not sure if KL can keep for 50 overs but TM pressed for his inclusion.

He is playing a 50 over match at NCA today to prove his fitness.

Rip this home WC winning chance for India. Thanks Indian selectors, I am loving it as Pak fan. This is self destruction 101.

[Bigg Brother]

Tilak should have been there..

[Frustrated]

Samson OUT.    Watch out for Tharoor's twitter updates.   

[Frustrated]

Thank God.  No Chew..hal.                      We may not win the WC, but it gives me immense pleasure to see this midget Be..haal getting the axe.  Time for me to order some   

[cowboysfan]

apart from Hardik all our batsmen are not in form.id not remember a WC when our batting is in such dire straits.

[speed_thrills]

Very difficult to get behind this ceww. Anyway not that it's going to matter in the end. 

[nitinbwj]

Tilak/samson and Prasidh ( For his hit the deck balls) should have been there. 

 

Gill, KL, Thakur, Fraudeja 

[nitinbwj]

SKY should be playing Asia Cup if they intend to play him in WC. Thakur the short ball trundler is a liability and Jadeja and KL are absolute frauds. 

[nitinbwj]

Axar and Jadeja... I mean wtf. Similar kind of bowlers and batsmen. 

[someone]

6 batsman in competition for 5 spots.

Its blatant corruption, zero competition and accountability.  Plus weak batting form. These batsman can fail multiple times, and still be in the playing XI.

 

First world cup where our bowling options is stronger than batting?

There is so much corruption in Indian cricket and i am not even talking about bcci administration, i am talking corruption at tm and selectors level. BC Jhopra and Sunil shetty made playing XI for t20 wc . Dravid chachu and selectors choose and unfit rahul  for major tournaments like wc as if he is some earth shattering talent like bumrah and no one else can take his place especially when he was out of form with little bit of game which he played this year against BD. How come you pick an unfir player who hardly played any games in last one year directly for asia cup and wc.

[raki05]

Dravid, Rohit and Agarkar will have to take responsibility for this shitty selection, bc chutiya media also have no question for this brainless selection.
