The Most Nightmarish Indian Squad

[RamP]

you guys are mostly recalling nmes from the 90s and early 2000s. let me add a few from the 80s. other older members like outsider, mr wicket can add to it gopal sharma lalchand rajput kirti azad some guy called ghai shivlal yadav (although he has 100 wickets in tests) ashok malhotra :banghead: pranob roy (not the ndtv guy :) Uncle Lal (for all the sound bytes he churns out as a commie, uncle lal has never scored a test or ODI 100) T Shekar arshad ayub sanjeev sharma lamba (the guy used to remove his gloves after every delivery) rashid patel chandra pandit (wk before more came)

^ Lol, I didn't even know that Lalchand played for India! Only knew him as a fill in coach a few years back.

..I watch cricket as a sport only for fun and entertainment

You need to watch some Test matches RR. You will then appreciate slow but steady batting :two_thumbs_up:

lamba (the guy used to remove his gloves after every delivery)

I think lamba had a ODI century against Aussies and his career was cut short due to injury. He had a sad ending to his life when he was hit on the head fielding in short fine leg playing leagues in Bangladesh

Probably the only chance Ravi will get to captain an international team.

Agarkar doesn't belong to that - he was one of our best limited overs bowler, he didn't live upto the promise, that doesn't mean he's that bad. Abey Kuruvilla belongs there IMO

There's no difference IMO. I used to shudder when Agarkar came in to bowl especially in ODI. Gavaskar used to call him brave bowler and on occasions called him rich bowler!! He never appeared to c are enough when he went for runs and that just bothered me like hell.:mad:
