ICC Champion's Trophy : Dravid in probables...

[yoda]

Yeah he was making a point. You are the indian captain and I have just blown you away. PICK ME!

:--D

[Sooda]

Im not sure what Sree has done domestically since being dropped- thatd be the deciding facotr id have thunked...

[Lord]

Irfan really is a bad bowler, who have more than often relied on his batting to get a spot into the team rather than bowling

really?is he worse than Bhuvaneshwar Kumar or Pankaj Singh?Irfan had a fantastic IPL picking up 17 wickets IIRC.wat makes u think hes a bad bowler?

I Dont think Dravid's selection was required... Its time to move on.... Hopefully Raina wont face the wrath of selectors...

[Sachinism]

Nothing against Rahul, but isn't this a move backwards? He was seen as not fit enough or whatever and Dhoni wanted to invest in youth, so why have we gone back to experience. Yeh youth failed at the T20 WC, but if you're going to invest in youth, you need to give them time

[coffee_rules]

Duplicate

Lottery performances

so wat is RP doing there?he also underperformed last year,did well in IPL n got selected,why not apply the same rule to Irfan

Rahul's nowhere in the picture,but IMO if some happens to experienced players like SRT or Sehwag,Dravid can come in with his experience.we dont wanna have too inexperienced a squad in prestigios tournet like CT

[rahulrulezz]

What I dont understand is that with legendary players like Dravid, Laxman, Ganguly etc etc we wre never a good ODI team.. rarely used to win overseas tours... yes they are good Test players but for ODIs, they got tons of opportunities and India winning/loosing ratio was quite bad... look at the current squads with youth, we won 6 ODI series in a row and Ranked 2.... then whats the need of going to oldies...

so wat is RP doing there?he also underperformed last year' date='did well in IPL n got selected,why not apply the same rule to Irfan[/quote'] Did brillinalty in england test series. I dont forget top notch performances at the highest level. Just like Sree was brilliant in test series in SA. Also Pathan is just pants, just watch him bowl never should be near the indian team. Sree and RP bowl at good speeds and have good success against top teams.

Why not pick Dravid ? yes, right...rohit has got talent.but he got enough oppurtunities i believe.

what has test performances gotta do with ODIs?Irfan also did well in OZ,helping us win the Perth Test match,so? u dont need speeds demon in ODIs.u need someone eho has variations,reasonable control.Pathan can do that can be a handy bat lower down the order.thus providing the much needed balance.allrounders provide the balance in ODI team n ignoring the best allrounder in the country is stupidity.

i agree, though its just probables and a lot can change between now and when the team is actually selected but if they were to go back to Dravid its would be a bad move. Some already wrote this, the only reason for Dravids return should be if both sehwag and sachin and one of Bhaji/Zaheer arent fit to play. would be nice to have some exp player

[jf1gp_1]

agree' date=' jst 1 question...who wud u pick , Dravid or Rohit....[/quote'] I would pick Kohli over Dravid

[Guest Shivani]

Welcome back Rahul :two_thumbs_up: What's wrong with these people ... Irfan not in the 30 ? :((

[gaurav92]

[Dirty_South]

[Dravid]
