Munaf in and Balaji out

[sangrock]

I think that was not the best decision...

[Holysmoke]

in b4 whine

^ lulz

[zubinpepsi]

the truth is we dont know whos better .. so cant say anything abt this decision..

[Sachinism]

They both suck, but I feel Munaf will be able to keep the ball in better areas

[philcric]

Between Munaf and Balaji, it has to be Munaf.

[fineleg]

so far, so good - on these sort of pitches, a physically fit RP Singh or mentally fit Sreesanth would have been really useful. But, so far, so good by MP.

Thats asking a lot.

[Show_stopper]

Hes been very impressive so far..got upto 141 kph and consistently got the ball in the good areas.He'll be an ideal 3rd seamer if he can keep this up.

[fineleg]

he's generally in 130s mark (he started with 128-130 and then increased slowly). But few deliveries clocked higher today.

That first ball yorker to Mills managed to cool me and forgive Munaf for most of his sins till date.he has to atone for his SA gaffe by winning this match with excellent support act in the second inning.some how i always feel that this guy is holding some thing back and never operate at full throttle. 'chalta hai' attitude.

[Guest Hiten.]

I think Munaf has been produced (into the Indian team) after too many refinements. All sorts of coaches have told him to do things rather than allowing him some freedom. Unless until Munaf bowls consistently in at least 3-4 matches, I will never put my money on this guy. He started off well in his debut series but shied away from responsibilities after that.

That's interesting. Because I got pissed off at that delivery. I posted at the beginning of his first spell after lunch that I was waiting for Munaf to slip in that yorker but it was only hours later that it finally happened and got the wicket!

[zubinpepsi]

Munaf was good.. but he seriously lacks commitment thats howed in his fielding.. i hope he changes his attitude n b a dedicated player..

Surprise package of the day for me..I have a question for you guys..was this the best 3 seamer combo we have fielded in recent times?? I know there have been lot of exceptional pairs like (Sree+Zak) in SA (Zak+RP) in Eng and (Zak+Ishant) in India..but waht about the whole triplet as a package? Perhaps the one we fielded in the Perth Test was good? What do you guys think?

Good question. Will have to wait and see in NZ's 2nd innings.
