[jf1gp_1]

Wish he had played in NZ series instead of Kohli. We probably would have won atleast one test. But given his age he should realize rope is going to be shorter in comparison with youngsters. If Sai were 33 year old he would have been dropped as well.

Do not know full backdrop and the conversation of this. 

 

But thats where Ind players are not honest to even themselves, they keep playing way past their prime.

In Karun's case he should have know that this was his last chance, if he does well he gets to play more and will be dropped if he does not. The rope will always be a shorter one for him.

 

And it was not like bad batting conditions, those were flat pitches where every1 got runs, he was given a favourable spot too.

There are multiple players eying for a spot in Ind team.

I'm sorry but Karun Nair only has himself to blame. He got 5 Tests, not 2 or 3 Tests. Plus the batting conditions were great with barely any tricky pitch or bad conditions. On top of that he played at his favorite spot. When likes of Jadeja and Sundar are out-batting you, it means you failed. He had so many chances and could barely score one 50. That's pathetic for a specialist top order batter.

Oh BS. You were completely out of your depth. Agarkar's biggest mistake was bringing back a 34 year old like you in the first place.

Karun Flair needs a last hurrah @maniac

 

Kohli got 5 years of failing. Ditto Pujara and Rahane.

 

Justice for Karun.

What is with all these players and their sense of entitlement and saying things publicly. Shami , despite being out of shape, feels he should be in National team, Rahane feels he should have played BGT, now Karun, despite being a flop on England tour, wants more chances.

 

Karun should be grateful for the chance he got, not one but 4 tests. And then to come out and say I deserved more. Sorry, you burnt your chances and the clock restarts from this Ranji season. What you did two seasons doesn't count for much any longer.

No, Nair, had his chance.  But I don’t blame Nair in the slightest for wanting more. 

 

It’s natural for anyone to think they deserve one more opportunity, from UPSC aspirants to Test players it’s all the same.

 

But one can absolutely judge and say Nair had his turn.  
 

Thing is - he didn’t use it to establish himself. 
 

How many cricketers in India didn’t even get that one chance?  Nair got 5 Tests to make his case. 

 

There are worse tragedies, more people have been treated even more unfairly in cricket and life.

Karun had his chance but he failed

[The Hound]

 

atleast he can retire as a first class legend.

Karun Nair is again scoring in Ranji season. He should have been in the A team against South Africa
