So Ajit Agarkar's standard has dropped so much that he has not been picked in this tournament also.. interesting..

[Sachinism]

don't the national team players take part in this? i remember they used to or is it just because of clash with international duty?

Who is Ravinder Singh ?

[rahulrulezz]

Fir se Kaif... this guy should be out of any Indian(A, B, Red, Green, Blue,Board President 11, Seniors, Junior, Handicap, Blind) team... great chance for players like Manoj Tiwary, Y.Pathan, S. Dhawan to show that they deserve to be in 14 squad.. i think Yuvi is gonna smack some of these bowlers...

[Laaloo]

^^Mohnish parmar i belive ppl say hes a chucker lol with a murali type action. He was very good against the aussies in that warm up match.

[nospam]

yogesh takawale is mumbai indians wk monish parmar played in the warm up match jaydev shah is related to niranjan shah??? (not sure)

[Chandan]

Why on earth do we have 14 players each in every side? Didn't we have just 36 players, ie just 12 players each in every squad, earlier for this tournament? And so many nonames? Do we have to play Arjun Yadav and Jayadev Shah in every tournament? What have they done to deserve these spots? And this time they didn't choose Asnodkar? What kind of selection policy is this? And Mishra, Badri and RP Singh will be playing. Does that mean they'll be dropped from the present test side? These players are supposed to be the best 42 players in our country? If that is so, then cricket will soon be wiped out from India.

[SachDan]

No Asnodkar!! but Jaydev Shah finds a place :wall:

[Lord]

So Ajit Agarkar's standard has dropped so much that he has not been picked in this tournament also.. interesting..

he may be unfit why do u have to target him? even ashish nehra is nt there

[Online]

jaydev shah is related to niranjan shah??? (not sure)

son

[flamy]

he may be unfit why do u have to target him? even ashish nehra is nt there

because ticz miyan knows sir aggy. they used to play gully cricket together

[sharma]

asnodkar seems to be the only guy missing out. kaif, yuvi etc, need to be there, to test these younger bowlers some more. also, i feel all the anti-kaif sentiments are a bit unjustified, the guy has worked hard, he needs a break.

[nospam]

just looked/analyzed at the teams again, all three seems to be balanced sides

[Chandan]

asnodkar seems to be the only guy missing out.

Ummm.. Munaf Patel? Why was he not included? He was good enough to play for India in the previous ODI series but isn't good enough to represent one of these sides? Anyway, I'm not complaining! How about that tall and accurate leggie Nanda from Delhi who claimed a 5-er against an India side in the side? Why not reward him with a chance instead of these Yadavs and Shahs? Why not give chance to that U-19 wicketkeeper who did so well in the U-19 WC last year and performed quite well in IPL too this year whenever given chance--Saurav Goswami? And why have we suddenly gorgotten Vijay YoMahesh, the pace bowler? And where is Sudeep Tyagi, another seamer?

[Cricketics]

Chandan, Munaf Patel is in the test squad hence may be he is not picked in this.

[Chandan]

Chandan' date=' Munaf Patel is in the test squad hence may be he is not picked in this.[/quote'] So are Badrinath, Amit Mishra and RP Singh. How are they playing tics and not Munaf?
