Perhaps only sane sports Journalist in India and who knows his stuff.  

 

He is part of Boria's team I think.  Earlier was with cricbuzz.

A team is basically second XI.  They have got the bowlers wrong but batting wise these are pretty much close to it.

Parag is out injured.

Then Rinku and Dube deserved it too. Badoni can’t be so close to playing for India

Yes being associated with Boria is only bad thing here

Badoni was part of some ODI squad a series or two ago.  He is closer than one thinks.

Him and Vipraj are now regulars for India A List A sides for 3-4 series now.

 

Dube is too old yar..  Shedge should be groomed.  He is a massive six hitter vs spin and medium pace.   Basically much younger version of Dube atp.

Yeah I wish he moved back to CB or Cricinfo or Indian express

The amount of crap Indian writers they have is mind blowing.

 

Sports journalism is also in a bad shape like the rest of Indian journalism 

 

Boomers like Vicky Paaji still somewhat have some insight while the other mainstream ones are brain-dead mostly.

Tilak and Rahul - these Two players needs to stay Away from limited overs teams.   They are mental midgets. 

KL will play 2027 World Cup and only then dropped 

[Gollum]

Bangladesh have Nahid Rana, that 2 m giant who bowls 150-155. 

 

And we keep selecting these 110 kph namoonas.

7 squads selected by Agarkar and Co. after this IPL and Ashok, Mayank, Tyagi and Mohsin did not make it to any of them.

 

Amazing !

Gaikwad is a better ODI prospect than Tilak.

Technically correct. As a teacher, I feel it's like saying 30 marks out of 100 is better than 25 out of 100.

No way the difference is that less. Tilak is below guys like Badoni and many other guys. Possibly the worstList A players for INdia i have seen in a long time. Match after match at all levels he is just stuck. 36 strike rate at this level at any stage is unforgivable.

Mohsin should have replaced Arshdeep in T20 team

Things have deteriorated at Cricinfo too(live score) with respect to language and grammar...

 

" Twist in the tail" or is it tale? @Mariyam @coffee_rules

Both are correct. Twist in the Tail usually refers to a sudden surprise ending to your story. Twist in the Tale could be a change at any point in the story.

OK. 30/100 is better than 5/100. My point was that both are not good enough :-)

Twist in the tail is when #11 batsman hits an out-of-syllabus century.

Or a Choke  job by the tail losing four wickets in the end, adding only seven runs chasing 18 friends in the last two overs.

They have start by weeding out the obvious misfits first. As of now no new players is tested enough besides the regular guys.  Padikkal, Prabh, Arya,  Sai Sudarshan, Jurel all have to go through grind before being part of the set up.  Since Pant has gone off the boil. We have to check the next in line. Kishan, Samson, Jaiswal. Within Indain ranks there is hierarchy. Tilak should be in 4th tier.

That's new... I always thought it's tale as the story/narrative 

[Lone Wolf]

Agarkar was in attendance watching these games.. moron should have selected Ashok or Tyagi

 

What will you learn watching Vipraj and Bharibhoj.

Victory in an ODI over Australia for them after 21 years on the back of an express pacer.  Unthinkable for BD's.

 

He will be interesting to watch in Australia during the test series.  Hopefully they can keep him fit
