King Tendulkar Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 ^ Yep 10 overs for 81, going for over 8 an over. By Nehras standards he has had a blinder:--D Link to comment
CG Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 You can pan him as much as you want to, but no one can deny him the praise for doing well in international cricket after his comeback. After all those injuries, surgeries, physiotherapy sessions etc and being completely written off, the fact that he could comeback to the team in itself was a great achievement. As for him not being anywhere near the team, well, all you need to do is to take a look at his stats since his comeback and compare that to what oher bowlers have done in the same time. 16 matches, 25 wickets@26 and a ER of 5.58, agreed it isnt great, but it isnt bad either. This is what Indian bowlers have done since Nehra's comeback http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=2;spanmin1=25+Jun+2009;spanval1=span;team=6;template=results;type=bowling This is the list of all the bowlers in the same period http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=2;spanmin1=25+Jun+2009;spanval1=span;template=results;type=bowling Pan him as much as you can and want to , but the fact is he has been our best bowler since his comeback. he always got the newball so picked up few wickets,his attitude is a disgrace to the team and the way he smiles after being hit make me like somebody should slap him there and then.even zak is now bowling as 1st change to acomodate nehra.

King Tendulkar Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 To be fair he is the only indian player with a half decent looking wife. Suprise really as he look like bugs bunny. Nevertheless he has gone up in my estimations. Finally an indian player in current set up has a looker Link to comment

youngindia Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Nevertheless he has gone up in my estimations. Finally an indian player in current set up has a looker there is as guy named yuvraj singh who always went for lookers and he is single after 2 disasters (at least) at the moment. :haha: Link to comment
satishg Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I am with the OP. This guy is pathetic in the field and his bowling is pretty ordinary to say the least, yes he got Dilshan out with a good yorker but i think once Ishant and Sreeshant are back Nehra has no place in the current squad. Even in the last game it was zaheer who brought us back into the game and Nehra was bowling all those low full tosses and he was extremely lucky that Sachin took a very good catch at midwicket, that was a bad delivery and it was going for a 4. Anyway hopefully Ishant and Sree come back soon and we can sit out Nehra, he can play an odd match here and there but thats about it. His fielding contributes an extra 20 runs for the opposition.

yoda Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Ex-cricketer ofcourse :P Nice work by Azhar. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I think as i said his fielding alone is going to cost his place. It should cost his place now. There was a clear run out chance at the keeper's end. This guy picked the ball at mid on in slow motion and froze like a statue without doing anything. A pick up and throw would have caused a definite run out. Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 at last ur :lightbulb: flashes .. now u realize this .. I already told. He should be allowed to play until he starts becoming crap. Unfortunately we had no reference as all of them were crap. Zak was even more crappy. Applies to every bowler. They should play until they become crappy. But this thread was started when he was actually doing well. I can say "Dhoni is crappy now" and say "I told you so" when he goes through a bad patch. That is plain silly. Link to comment
The Outsider Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I thought I'll give this thread the customary after the match bump! Link to comment
