Is Naman Ojha a better batsman than Yusuf?

[Temujin Khaghan]

or same quality... i never watched a lot of IPL recently so i dont know.

[diegovegaz]

he can control himself should be consistent than yusuf

[zen]

Well a better way to put it is that against quality bowling (esp pace) they both bat (struggle) the same :P .... while they are both capable of taking mediocre bowlers to the cleaners :--D

[Temujin Khaghan]

hope raina gives him a couple of chances in this series. anyway pathan's bowling isnt that valuable.

[f2000560]

he should come instead of DK as he is an opener DK hasn't done anything of note for a long while time to try a different reserve keeper

[gaurav92]

Well Naman Ojha is a better player in the sense that he will be more consistent on Indian Paata wickets than Yusuf, but where there is a little more bounce, he will get out cheaply like Yusuf.So i would say there is not much of a difference between them, both are IPl Bullies

[Temujin Khaghan]

is manish pandey also in the same bracket? or is he a genuine batsman?

[kabira]

Naman Ojha is in the squad?? I thought it was Praghayan Ojha

Well He comes in the same bracket :D

[Temujin Khaghan]

Well He comes in the same bracket :D

man we can create a batting order just with these cowlashers. glad i didnt miss anything huge in the ipl.

[Sooda]

Naman does open for his IPL team, dont know if that makes him better... Im not sure he is that good a keeper but him in the side would mean DK can play as a specialist bat And Pandey is much more of a batsman surely!! Being highest scorer in the Ranji season must mean something...

naman is a wicket keeper batsman.traditionally decent wicket keeper batsmen usually average in late twenties to mid thirties. i would put yusuf at test average(over a long period) 29-32 max. naman would be at 34-36 max. karthik around 38-40.dhoni 42-45 merely because he is highly gifted. anyone comparing them to manish is a cricketing ignoramus.manish has all the qualities of a proper specialist bat.

Anyone is better than yusuf. Yusuf is quite possibly the worst batsman to have represented india in the last 5 years. An absolute goat against seam bowling. Plays as many shots as a club cricketer, and his batting technique amounts to no more than getting the front foot out of the way and heaving over cow corner, how lame. the best one can expect from yusuf is a fifty every 10 games or so, which makes him nothing more than an Indian version of paki superstar and captain shaheed Afreedy. his brother would be a better pick

[vvvslaxman]

Ojha's T20 exploits in IPL should not blind us. He has weakness against pace bowling. Not just bounce. General discomfort.

[Lord]

Yusuf is better.both r crap against pace bowling,Atleast Yusuf is better against spin

[saneindian]

In the next match, Kirsten should send Yusuf and Ojha to open the batting, will be fun.
