Can Vinay Kumar play for India?

[Sooda]

Ha. Aww thanks... an old thread of mine got bumpski'd. :icflove:

[Sooda]

I think his selection was merited given Ranji performances, and injuries. He deserved a shot and was given one. Gotta feel for him.

Vinay Kumar searches for route to the top Despite his achievements over the last six years, Karnataka seamer R Vinay Kumar remains unfamiliar to most Indian fans

Probably now one of the most talked about cricketers....How times have changed :giggle:

[Ultimate_Game]

Hope this is the last time we see Vinay kumar playing for India and the selectors finally see what we saw in him all along - a mediocre trundler who should not be anywhere close to intl level.

When Shastri commented "That's his first wicket in International Cricket", he was probably holding back saying "last as well". :--D

He has 179 Ranji Trophy wickets at 22.15 over six seasons, in each of which he has scalped more than 20.

Get ready to see the legend soon! :yay: 'I'm at my best,' says Vinay Kumar http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/current/story/727641.html

Karnataka have already won this year's Ranji Trophy and Irani Cup, and are now in the semi-finals of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Their captain Vinay Kumar has been instrumental to their success, taking 17 wickets in the Ranji knockout stage and a ten-wicket haul in the Irani Cup. Vinay has backed that up with 23 wickets at 10.30 to top the Vijay Hazare bowling charts. "I would say I'm at my best at the moment. I am happy with the way I'm performing," Vinay said on the eve of Karnataka's Vijay Hazare Trophy semi-final against Jharkhand. After a difficult one-day series against Australia last year, Vinay lost his place in the national team but was hopeful of making a comeback. "I've been performing well in whatever matches I played. Be it Ranji or Irani, I've been doing well. The rest is up to the selectors. Every match is important for me and I want to contribute in our team's win." The pitches in the Vijay Hazare Trophy knockout phase have been favourable to seamers, which Vinay felt would prepare batsmen for overseas conditions. "It's challenging for batsmen where they can improve their batting. When we go abroad, these kind of wickets will definitely help them perform really well. If we play 10 games, we get these kind of wickets in only one or two games."

Skipped a beat when you said 'Get Ready'. Thought he was gonna replace someone in the WT20.

[The Realist]

Still cannot get over the sorry sight of his debut in Perth on the fastest pitch on the last Aus tour and Warner smashing him to all parts. Tragic and embarrassing

I have seen him in 2 F.C matches this year and he has set the world on fire in both games :haha: against decent batsmen too. Almost felt like watching a right handed ashes version of M.J in slow motion
