Lord Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 How old was Sachin when he was blooded? Is he good or what? How old was Ishant when he was fielded? Is he good or what? Change must come..we need the young ones to step up...and they are...but they are being locked out! Shame! i do agree that fast bowlers r the only breed that should be blooded as early as possible. and sachin... well he was always specially talented.that is an exception.u dont find that gifted players everyday. the young ones need to be tested too. so many youngsters have one or two good seasons.its only who performs consistently that needs to be picked.
cochise Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 and sachin... well he was always specially talented.that is an exception.u dont find that gifted players everyday. How will you know until you give them a chance to prove themselves on the world stage? Hasn't Pujara done enough to deserve a chance? And what of the others?
cochise Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 There is another point...if there is genius when they are young, it's best to get them to the top level as fast as possible...when you are young, you learn and adapt at astonishing pace...if they do not harness the talent at hand, India will regret...we have had a wonderfully talented generation at the helm...if the next one grows old waiting for a chance, the generation that follows will be mediocre...for they will no longer dream the dreams...knowing that they cannot because they saw those that did and never had the chance to make it real. Do you get me? Time for change.

And what of the others? u dont runs to prove someone is truly gifted.u realise that by seeing them once only.i havent seen pujara so cant comment on his talent.unless hes exceptional,he gotta wait,however runs he made this season. rohit is one who has a sound technique n is talented.but his lack of runs in ODIs go against him.badri,from what i have seen,struggles against quality pace bowling

Given Dravid regains his form, he'll still only play for a maximum of 1 year. If Pujara is allowed to develop at the #3 spot starting now [when he's in a rich vein of form], he'll be there to play for India for the next 10-12 years. Which one do you think is better? Also, given how many centuries, double centuries, triple centuries he's made at an astonishing pace this season (and also the century against Karnataka needed him to take it slow and he did that with a S/R of 52) - so thats the new kind of #3 we need right now.

Do you get me? Time for change. another way to look at it is tat youngsters will try to be consistent as they will know that one two good seasons wont be enuf.its not that they wont ever get a chance,but they only get it after trying really hardn next gen will try even harder n be mentally tougher
cochise Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 rohit is one who has a sound technique n is talented.but his lack of runs in ODIs go against him.badri,from what i have seen,struggles against quality pace bowling Rohit is all class...if a bit temperamental. I want to see more of him...especially in test matches... He is of classical mould, unfazed at the crease, wonderfully elegant...so far, all of I have seen of him...he has got himself out. But this is how he will learn. By the way...have you checked Sachins test record when he first started out? Can you see the learniing path that we are not affording our next generation?

Can you see the learniing path that we are not affording our next generation? as i said sachin is truly exceptional,a perfect mix of technique,talent n elegance,n hes been like that ever since he started.u give such players some more time. as for rohit,he has been given chances at ODI level n he has dissapointed.his FC record is not too gr8 either.sachin had his learning path at intl level.others are having it in dom. cricket.whats the problem?
msb1991 Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Mate...the young ones are growing old waiting...that's the rush. This is ridiculous. Dravid should retire and make way for at least one.... Give the young ones a chance ffs! Growing old waiting? That is ludicrous, Badrinath is next in line to Dravid. Pujara has had 2 good seasons and is just 20.
cochise Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Growing old waiting? That is ludicrous, Badrinath is next in line to Dravid. Pujara has had 2 good seasons and is just 20. Yeah....I am just talking bull sh*it mate ...ignore me.
Lord Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Yeah....I am just talking bull sh*it mate ...ignore me. good that u have realised it urself.better late then never.:cantstop:
cochise Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 good that u have realised it urself.better late then never Don't get too happy too quick...coz I was just kidding. :D :haha::hysterical: :winky:
Feed Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Don't know when I'll be back in action: Pujara plays waiting game “Well, I really don’t know when I will be back in action, you know. Whether the recovery process will be complete in the coming weeks, or just before the Ranji Trophy begins, I really have no idea" More... Don’t know when I’ll be back in action: Pujara plays waiting game Nadim Siraj Tags : kolkata, sports Posted: Tuesday , Aug 11, 2009 at 0348 hrs Kolkata After spending nearly the entire day at Eden Gardens’ indoor facility, he gingerly walked out, slowly limping out of the stadium. After the opening day of the Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) fitness camp at Eden, it’s clear that Cheteshwar Pujara is still far from recovering from the ligament tear that shot him out of action earlier this summer. After tearing a left foot ligament during a practice match for KKR at Bloemfontein in April, the prolific batsman underwent surgery in South Africa on May 1. Ever since, it’s been a long climb back for Pujara, and unfortunately, it’s still a long way to go, admits the 21-year-old Rajkot grafter. “Well, I really don’t know when I will be back in action, you know. Whether the recovery process will be complete in the coming weeks, or just before the Ranji Trophy begins, I really have no idea. At this stage, I have just started light training of the upper body, and I am also knocking a bit. I am hoping to get fit by the time the Ranji Trophy begins. Only time will tell when I will get over this phase,” Pujara told The Indian Express today shortly after the first day of KKR’s five-day fitness camp at Eden. Pujara’s injury has been a major worry for BCCI mandarins, with the polished batsman having taken the domestic circuit by storm last season with three telling triple centuries. After being signed up by Knight Riders for the summer of 2008, Pujara grew from strength to strength, smashing two triple hundreds in the Under-22 circuit and then he followed it up with another one against Orissa in the Ranji Trophy. No wonder, the youngster in raging form is itching to get back to the 22-yard. “The recovery process is definitely a difficult period for me. But I am focusing on it and going through the regimen and routine prescribed to me at the NCA recently,” Pujara said, pointing towards a dossier he carries with him these days at training sessions. Recently, Pujara underwent a recovery-cum-training stint at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore for a week where noted physio Paul Close examined the state of Pujara’s fitness and chalked out a training regimen for him. The copybook right-hander also underwent a novel mental-toughness stint at the NCA under the guidance of consultant Rajesh Venkadri. “Close was really helpful at the NCA. And now I have Andrew Leipus (KKR physio) with me here. He has also closely studied the state of my injury and has given a few good suggestions. I am going to strictly follow the regimen and tips offered by both Close and Leipus in the recovery process,” the wiry middle-order batsman pointed out. So, it must have been tough for the in-form batsman to sit out for nearly four months now, with at least another two months to go before he can return to full-fledged match practice. “Well, I have been trying to wile away time. I have been using the break to read a variety of books, and catching some good movies. And then I have plans of studying as well. But again, that’s not possible to carry on considering that I will get back to playing full-time around two months from now,” he said.
Chandan Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Pujara's needs to recover well in time for Ranjis to be in the race for an India cap. I don't he could have played the Buchi Babu tournament or not, but if he could then it'd have been a good experience for him playing against Bond, Hope he recovers soon though!
SachDan Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Why didn't he play in the Challenger Trophy ? Is he injured ?
Cricketics Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Why didn't he play in the Challenger Trophy ? Is he injured ? Yes. I read that Manoj Tiwary was picked over him for Irani cup and Challenger trophy because Pujara had a Knee injury from which he is yet to recover.
Guest Hiten. Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Pujara picked up this injury in IPL I, has he still not recovered yet ? :hmmmm:
msb1991 Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Pujara picked up this injury in IPL I' date=' has he still not recovered yet ? :hmmmm:[/quote'] No, I believe this was picked up just prior to IPL 2.
