He is not that tall, do not think he will have any intnl. career. Should have worked on his batting skills. Need4Speed 1 Link to comment

It was unfortunate that he did not get a longer rope, but he did not distinguish himself in domestic FC to force his way back in. Link to comment

He has improved his game, which is evident when you watch him play. Can definitely be tried in tests over many options we keep playing. Age would be a factor if he was on decline but that's not the case. Link to comment

iroman Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) Fast bowler pipeline is running dry since Raju Kulkarni, Ankola, Kuruvilla days in 90s to Agarkar, Zaheer and Mahambrey in 2000s. Dhawal Kulkarni was the last notable pacer. Also, don't seem to have a gun keeper for some reason. Edited January 6 by iroman ind_hyd1 1 Link to comment
