[achilles]

:finger: To all people of the "Phaast bowlers are not needed" gang. Take this up your azz :thefinger:

[Malcolm Merlyn]

Get him into the team for the next game.Period:mad:

[mastana]

Stage is set for Umesh Yadav. Zaheer bowling crap in T20's. Watch out West Indies. :aha:

[diegovegaz]

Get him into the team for the next game.Period:mad:

if only dhoni shows some faith in him he never trusts newcomers and as long as eric simons is the bowling coach, expect no wonders from yadav

[achilles]

he never trusts newcomers

Sudeep :hmmm:

[ViruRulez]

our bowling cannot be worse anyways .. I would like to see Yadav in the next match on WI pitches .. pace matters in WI pitches for sure

[ViruRulez]

Sudeep :hmmm:

Sudeep was a perfect trundler and slower than our current set of bowlers .. Yadav is 140+ or 145+ and that matters in WI pitches

[Malcolm Merlyn]

if only dhoni shows some faith in him he never trusts newcomers and as long as eric simons is the bowling coach, expect no wonders from yadav

Simmons cant be worse than Prasad?? It seems Nehra Gambhir and Simmons recommended Yadav to be flown in.

Especially at Barbados.

no he bowled up to 142-143...which isnt slow...those picthes were not favoring pace...even tait and morkal were spanked..allover in IPL..rather I would say he is still too raw and not that strong temperamentally

[Roshanrocks]

i hope yadav is played in a game in this world cup... n bowls well, or the same people happy for him in this thread will start baying for his blood

so Yadav would get game straightaway while VK warms the bench all the while,wat was there for if he wasnt gonna be selected

[Gunner_Mania]

so Yadav would get game straightaway while VK warms the bench all the while' date='wat was there for if he wasnt gonna be selected[/quote'] You have already said it - Warm the benches

[King Tendulkar]

so Yadav would get game straightaway while VK warms the bench all the while' date='wat was there for if he wasnt gonna be selected[/quote'] We must stop picking players purely based on stats in first class cricket. I mean if you look at VK his stats are decent. But anyone can see that his medium pacers will do jack on international stage. Rightly if Yadav has good pace then he must be picked. Even if he is medicocre for yera with India, he will surley develop being with squad and then improve over the year. Then hopefully we will have good bowler who bowls regularly over 140. He needs to be in squad and helped to develop in to pace bolwer we DESPREATLEY neeed

that should be the strategy for tests,not T20s,nothing destroys a young bowler faster than being tonked in T20s.god forbid if hew gets tonked in T20s ,hes gonna be afraid to bowl fast.i think he should be kept for TESTS only about VK,he was good in IPL n hence selected,has good record too,so why not try him

[diegovegaz]

Sudeep :hmmm:

he warmed the bench for a long period before finally getting to play

[diegovegaz]

Simmons cant be worse than Prasad?? It seems Nehra Gambhir and Simmons recommended Yadav to be flown in.

haven't seen any difference in our bowling since simmons has been with us its still hard to believe when someone like alan donald showed interest for handling the position, how could do the bcci rope in a never talked about simmons, just because gary was comfortable with him
