[veer]

Australian Institute of Sports??? the who??

[amits]

henriques & wade r talked of as potential future players for australia. and this AIS team isnt a weak team by any means and :D to c dhawan do well & make a 75 :yay::two_thumbs_up:

[Dirty_South]

:yay: Good to c Badri & Dhawan among runs.... Virat Kohli :banghead: ..IPL spoilt him :D

[satishg]

Badri deserves a test spot soon heck he deserves a ODI spot also for his consistent performances..hope the selectors take notice of him..good show by our young team..hope they keep on winning :two_thumbs_up:

[theguyinallblue]

M S Goni is gone...he can't even pick wickets in Australia... Good to see Amit Mishra among the wickets on australian pitches..but i don't see Raina in the line up.. why is he not in the playing XI..?

the squad left for Australia when Indian team(which had raina) was in paksitan for Asia Cup

[cowboysfan]

I think Mishra is better than piyush Chawla right now. any arguments otherwise?. mishra would do well in the ODIs in India.

[msb1991]

M S Goni is gone...

After one game?:hysterical:

[theguyinallblue]

the squad left for Australia when Indian team(which had raina) was in paksitan for Asia Cup

But Raina was sent as a replacement of Parthiv Patel...when PaPa was recalled back for national duty...

[amits]

even goni was in the asia cup squad, but is in aus. and i agree with theguyinallblue, goni is finished, he was overhyped. getting thrashed for over 8 an over by bangladesh, 0/57 in 9 overs in aus. its time we look forward to bowlers like sangwan, pankaj singh, sudip tyagi & dinda

[flamy]

Good ShitH!!!!! :yay:

[sandtest]

Amit Mishra and Badrinath -- two unfortunate souls with no connections in BCCI, means they have to wait really looong.

[fineleg]

Is this some random no-name team? Australian Institute of Sports!?

[Texy]

dhawan deserves more chances than rohit sharma

[amits]

Amit Mishra and Badrinath -- two unfortunate souls with no connections in BCCI' date=' means they have to wait really looong.[/quote'] add shikhar dhawan in that list as well if a player who was the top scorer in u-19 wc in 2004 scoring 505 runs who was the top scorer in 2006 eurasia cup who scored more than 300+ runs in ipl at a avg of 40+ who has a batting avg of 46 in list-a cant get into the indian team, then there has to be something wrong with the selection at a time when some unknown cr@p players like goni r getting into the indian team & getting thrashed for over 8 an over by bangladesh. also some players like rohit sharma get into the indian team based on quota. by now everyone should have seen the difference in talent between rohit sharma & shikhar dhawan. rohit sharma is nowhere near shikhar dhawans class as a batsman, yet rohit sharma makes it into the indian team based on the fact that he is from mumbai. and amongst youngsters, shikhar dhawan is 1 of the best players of spin. he is much better than the rohit sharmas & robin uthappas who get continuous chances for indian team despite repeated failures. none of them avg 30+ in odis & even their strike rates arent great also, shikhar dhawan was even dropped from the india a team in 2006 after just 1 failure(top end series in 2006), despite the fact that he top scored just 1 tournament ago(eurasia cup), was very impressive in the challenger series in 2005, even scoring 126 against a strong indian bowling attack. also players from places like mumbai & gujarat stay in the team for 1-2 years despite doing nothing looking at shikhar dhawan, even players like vvs laxman & badrinath can consider themselves to be very very lucky

[amits]

dhawan deserves more chances than rohit sharma

well said. rohit sharma is in the team purely on quota. its time he was replaced by shikhar dhawan
