Hearing rumor that Robin Uthappa may replace SRT for ODIs

[fineleg]

Four players are injured apparently: Indian team suffered a major blow today with four of its main players including Sachin Tendulkar and Ishant Sharma, injured on the second day of the third and final cricket Test against Sri Lanka here but a clear picture of their participation in the game will be available tomorrow. Tendulkar hurt his elbow, Sharma fell down during fielding, VVS Laxman sprained his ankle during practice in the morning and wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel sustained a cut near an eye. Rumor is that Uthappam will replace SRT! Oh God! No! Lets get Badri or Dhawan should a replacement be necessary.

Why Utthapa why not Badri or Tiwari

wtfffffffffffffffffffffffff RU has been given so many chances, he's been ok at times, but other players deserve a chance too

Its a rumor that I read somewhere - not much authenticated news yet on it. I hope this is false. Please no Uthappa, no! Selectors seem to be braindead if this is true - recycling the same trash over and over again. Badri has not done himself any favor by his recent outburst against the selectors. But his outburst is natural reaction.

Why o Why !

Finey- Stop spreading rumors

Tbh, Uthappa is really not rated by Indian fans, but he hasn't done too shabbily for India. He has been shafted around the order, batting at 1 (12 times), 2 (once), 3 (six times), 5 (2 times), 6 (5 times) and 7 (8 times) and has not had time to settle to a role.

Him getting called up now won't help things. The selectors need to let him know of his role, for example, "you bat at seven, you need to play with controlled agression, if you get out, it is the tail in, but we need quick runs from you".

is sachin injured that badly?

[The Outsider]

Tendulkar should take one parting shot at the Champions Trophy to win a multi team tournament and call it quits from ODIs after that regardless of the result. Yes, this was a freak on field injury but his fragile body can do without the rigors of ODIs.

Badri has not done himself any favor by his recent outburst against the selectors. But his outburst is natural reaction.

??????????????????????????????????? :omg::((

another rumor courtesy Desi News channels I guess :P

[Ram]

If ANY batsman is injured and Badri isnt included as replacement, we can officially declare the current selection committee to either partially blind or terribly biased or both. That guy should have been there in the first place, let along be picked as replacement for an injured player.

if sachin is out ... why not have this lineup ... sehwag gambhir raina sharma yuvraj dhoni irfan praveen harbhajan ojha ishant maybe bring in zaheer khan instead of praveen kumar
