fineleg Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Has Dhawal Kulkarni reached NZ shores? Can he be drafted in remaining two ODIs in squad in place of useless Munaf Patel? and IKP needs to be replaced with Abhisek Nayar (but the latter is too late since ODI series ending and he is faar away in India)...but if Kulkarni is already in NZ - then he should be brought into ODI squad. If Ishant is fit, he'll probably play ODI 4 and 5. But, if not, we need someone other than IKP and Munna bhai (IKP >>>> Munna bhai) Also for Tests - I dont think this attitude of Munna bhai will help us. We need to get someone else - even praveen kumar with his lack of old ball skill, but better attitude may be better than Munna. Is RP Singh or dancing donkey Sreesanth fit? Even they will be better than Daadaji.
amits Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 pravin kumar has to be there in tests in place of the quota player munaf patel
fineleg Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 pravin kumar has to be there in tests in place of the quota player munaf patel its the "dud player" quota --MP should be dropped from both ODI and Test squad.

King Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 The ground was small, pitch was a belter and there wasn't much in it for a bowler. I would spare Munaf criticism in the context of this game. You can't chop and change players every game.
Show_stopper Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Yeah i think i have seen enough of him.Just too much "on and off" kind of bowler. And he is not particularly a match winner even when he is "on".

Even they will be better than Daadaji. Okay, I've calmed down now... The best way to look upon ODI and Test cricket in the modern game is one of two completely different games to be treated in isolation. Munaf has bowled at 140kph in the Test series against Pakistan in 2007 (his last Test series) and although he has not taken more than one Test wicket in an innings for a while now, these conditions should suit his 'seam' bowling style. Kulkarni was only ever taken on this tour for experience and so if India choose to go in with three pacer, not Munaf, strategy, then it will be Balaji who will take the role of third pace bowler. This being said, a five wicket haul for Kulkarni when he plays his domestic game may change this. RP Singh is barely fit and he keeps breaking down and so has not proved his fitness. Sreesanth has not played a match for a while and I suspect he is unfit.
flamy Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 kick out the quota-player munaf from tests & odis how is dadaji quota.... :hysterical:
msb1991 Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 kick out the quota-player munaf from tests & odis You often use the term quota player, I don't know what you mean. I live in England and don't understand the selectoral politics, could you please elaborate?
Shane Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 kick out the quota-player munaf from tests & odis and bring back rohit, rite ??? :--D

Dhondy Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Let Munaf remain in the squad as a passenger as a memento to the monumental folly of selectors. Choosing a brainless, unskilled labourer as a Test bowler ahead of a prodigy, albeit mercurial, such as Sreesanth, quite clearly shows that while one half of the chairman of selector's brain is actively championing his unworthy statemates, the other half has taken leave of all sense.
fineleg Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 while one half of the chairman of selector's brain is actively championing his unworthy statemates' date= the other half has taken leave of all sense. another regionalistic accusaton :haha: meh, the parochialism
