Lord Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 You cant expect every player to serve the team for 10 years. Age is not a matter. Even if he does well for 2 years I'll take it. n then we'll have to find a new player again
The Dark Horse Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 n then we'll have to find a new player again By that time someone like Pujara/Dhawan would be ready for internationals. I wont be surprised if Rohit/Raina fill in the slots either.
coffee_rules Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Nehra should be ahead of Ojha. We need 2 spinners only.

I wont be surprised if Rohit/Raina fill in the slots either. be ready by playing only domestics?i much rather groom them by being in the dressing room alongside legends n learn from them.i'm pretty sure Rohit/Raina would be as ready if they get regularly selected in the squad n share dressing room with players like RD,VVS,SRT

Its not as if they are playing only in the domestics.
Lord Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 They are already playing internationals right? Its not as if they are playing only in the domestics. i'm talking about longer versions of the game
Guest Hiten. Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Prof and I are the happiest bunch today. Good to see Sreesanth back in the reckoning. I really hope he is our first choice bowler ahead of Ishant. Sreesanth
The Dark Horse Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 i'm talking about longer versions of the game Its no use sitting in the bench. We can talk of grooming but only when he gets into the field one can get to know the real feel of test cricket.
bunny Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 n what basis Yuvraj Singh is not a test player by any means (his record shows that). And I believe Rohit Sharma is a much better player of spin bowling than Yuvraj. Ishant Sharma is way out of form. And as it is he struggles against LHB (the entire SL top order if I remember correctly). It'd be better to go with someone who can keep things tight.

Yuvraj's record in tests in India is pretty good.he did well the last time Lanka were here for tests Ishant is a good test bowler.its not like Munaf is in redhot form.he got pasted in Hyderabad n was unimpressive. SL top order has only Paranavitana n Sanga as LHBs.rest Dilshan,Mahela,Samaraweera,Mathews,n P.Jayawardene are all RHBs.

SL top order has only Paranavitana n Sanga as LHBs.rest Dilshan,Mahela,Samaraweera,Mathews,n P.Jayawardene are all RHBs. His record in India is decent (not pretty good) and he scored 2 ducks and 2 fifties last time around. He is pretty much a gamble, and personally I feel this is the right time to play a guy who can grab the opportunity, and be more consistent. (Murali Vijay is one such guy, and Rohit can be if he is given the opportunity in tests). No one is doubting Ishant's potential. I am questioning his form which is rotten. Both he and Sreesanth have the propensity to go for runs. If we pick 3 pacers, then you need one who can just stick to a given plan and Munaf is one. Also Munaf bowled decently in Hyderabad. (and the FC games he played). It was a batting paradise where strokes not usually risked in tests were being played.
Aadhavzone Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Why Nehra left out> :omg: Sreesanth in! :hehe:
Params7 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Sri Lanka has no chance :finger: I'm going to enjoy this test series more than Ind/Aus ODI's! They may fine Sree left and right but we all know BCCI wuvs him :icflove:
Params7 Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Why Nehra left out> :omg: Save him for ODI's where he has found his form back. Zak/Nehra opening pair again will be perfect and hopefully Sreesanth will make a comeback to ODI's too while Ishant finds him form in Domestic.

cowboysfan Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 ishant should be the first choice but we shouldnt be afraid to drop him if he doesnt perform in the 1st test.
Celeste Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 I like the team. Is it true India isn't playing a single test next year? no
The Outsider Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 Nehra should be ahead of Ojha. We need 2 spinners only. Why Nehra left out> :omg: Sreesanth in! :hehe: Nehra isn't keen on test cricket. He has already mentioned so in a couple of interviews.
