Centrino Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 This is utter stupidity from Utthapa. He always seems to be doing the wrong thing at the right time. Link to comment

Sachinism Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 lol Uthappa is scoring plenty of runs, now he feels he can say whatever he wants Link to comment
fineleg Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 well atleast he is not all talk..he got an unbeaten century.Dravid could only manage 26. Remember he and sachin gave us good opening partnership in both the CB series finals.Personally i think Robin is a superb guy..just needs to focus more on the game and less on the cosmetics(the Yuvraj syndrome). lol Uthappa is scoring plenty of runs' date=' now he feels he can say whatever he wants[/quote'] Yes, this syndrome where either getting runs or taking wickets for a few matches means u can mouth off things - I hope BCCI can warn players who utter such things - be it domestics guyz like EmptyDabba (uthappam) or Yuvi/HS/Sreesanth types.

King Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 TBH Uthappa has been scoring heaps of runs and is leading from the front. Uthappa is Brijesh Patel of Karnataka, lots of runs in domestic and nothing much to write home about his appearances in international cricket. Link to comment
Rajan Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 TBH Uthappa has been scoring heaps of runs and is leading from the front. Uthappa is Brijesh Patel of Karnataka' date=' lots of runs in domestic and nothing much to write home about his appearances in international cricket.[/quote'] Brijesh Patel- cricinfo profile A dashing right-hand middle-order batsman and a prolific run getter at domestic level, Brijesh Patel was also the outstanding outfielder in Indian cricket in the seventies. Very much the `glamour boy' of the game at his peak, Patel was capable of ripping apart the best of bowling on his day. However he was suspect against pace or the swinging ball when conditions helped bowlers and he was exposed on the tours of England in 1974 and 1979 and in Australia in 1977-78. But he did very well in the West Indies in 1976, when in his four innings, he scored 207 runs at an average of 207.00. This included his only Test hundred, 115 not out at Port of Spain when he added 204 runs for the fifth wicket with Sunil Gavaskar. Three other notable innings were 73 not out against West Indies in a losing cause at Bombay in 1974-75, a strokefilled 83 against England at the same venue two years later and a hurricane 82 against New Zealand again at Bombay in 1976-77. After failing on the tour of Australia the following season, he was dropped only to be brought back for the tour of England in 1979 keeping the World Cup in mind. He was one of the first Indian cricketers to be a natural for the shorter version of the game. But if Patel's international career was not in keeping with his initial promise, at the domestic level, he was verily the monarch. For a long while he held the two most important batting records in the Ranji Trophy - most runs (7126 at an average of 57.00) and most centuries (26). In his heyday, he played some of the most commanding knocks in the national competition and the Duleep Trophy. ======================== Those days there were no proper protective gears for batsmen. He was hit badly in a test match by some fast bowlers and was seen to be avoiding the trajectory of the ball and playing away from body rather than inside the line of the ball. I have seen him bat once with GRV in KSCA in an exhibition match-his benefit match- against an assorted indian team of 1987, under kapil dev.He was rampaging. Uthappa can be happy if he plays 20+ tests for india. Link to comment
