Have been longing for this opportunity: Badrinath

[thevortex]

I have seen Badri quiet a few times. Domestic' date=' international. He works really really hard for each run. I am not sure if it is deliberate. His ODI strike rate was 100 last season. May be he was just nervous. But my problem with badri is timing and placement.[/quote'] There is no question of discussing his strike rate in this Test match. What would people have wanted from him here? A quickfire 20 or 30 or a slow but time consuming 50 against an accurate and top class attack (with the exception of Harris)? He did his job very well - even considering that he was a debutant. If people want to judge his strike rate, then I guess that is better done during the IPL or during other ODI matches.
