Karthik or Parthiv or Saha

[Holysmoke]

Yes, Saha is untested, untried etc. But he's selected purely as a batsman in his debut game. I cant help but feel that either of Dropthiv or Dropthik would have been a better choice. ( Discuss, who would you have? :hmmm:

Kohli or Nayar :whine:

He wasn't selected purely as a batsman. He was thrust into the team simply because India didn't want a 5th bowler and there was no other specialist batsman in the squad to choose.

If Saha is playing, why is Dhoni keeping... He can let Saha keep and give his back a rest and also stand in mid on / mid off so that he can be in touch with his bowlers.. I was wondering why Rohit Sharma was picked ahead of KD Karthik who had been good in the ranji season this year. In the Duleep final he has played two 150 knocks.. so, why was he not selected? Thanks God Mishra is playing today... Had they picked Ojha, I would have been banging my head that there are 3 wrong guys playing this match (including Badri)

Keeping wise i have no clue about Saha. Between Karthik and Parthiv. My vote goes to Karthik because Karthik only struggles agianst spinners. But Parthiv struggles against both spin and pace. In terms of batting they are contrasting in style. Karthik holds a slight edge there. Fieldingwise as well Karthik holds the edge. No brainer. It is Dinesh Karthik. Parthiv is a dogged batsman.

i am not sure if any1 of u have seen PP batting and keeping in recent times.. he have shown also at IPL 1 and 2 that he have comeup leaps and bounds in his keeping ability and batting have also improved. I wish he cud be tested again .

Parthiv is never going to keep well. He is just not natural. Seen several times in several matches. He doesn't dive well. He looked extremely comical while fielding. I have no problem with him playing as a pure batsman.

Funny thing is Badri and Saha make a debut in the same match...

Kartik or Parthiv..both are good' date=' and [b']for christ's sake..who is Saha ? :notsmiley:

He is the Buddhiman Baba from the FakeIPLPlayer :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

I think Parthiv is quite unlucky to play in same time as Dhoni... Parthiv might not be great wicketkeeper batsman as Dhoni but he is far better wicketkeepeer batsman than most keepers out there

[diegovegaz]

saha is a natural keeper his keeping skills are better than kaarthick's or paarthiv's i can't say much of his batting though, haven't seen him much

[achilles]

Dinesh Karthik is the best wicket-keeper in India, atm. Unfortunately, he's not as good a batter as MS.

Keeping in test matches against spin for long periods is a whole different cup of tea. We have only seen him in T20.

:hysterical: You mean Dropthik?:cantstop:

Do you remember his debut match? The T20 World Cup? And many more instances where he's keeped well? :hmmm:

:hmmm: What have you been smokin??

If you think Karthik isn't the best keeper in India, you are maybe fooling yourself. The guy is a genius behind the stump and I'll mark this post and show it to you, the day he does well and you change your opinion about his keeping suddenly. Coz he is that damn good :two_thumbs_up:
