ch1234 Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 The guy just played one of the best ODI innings you will ever see in his last ODI innnings and is dropped from the XI.. He was good with the ball also in the last few matches.. Wonder what he has to do be in the team consistently..
vvvslaxman Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Vijay's inclusion should not be automatic in ODIs. T20s okay as it won't hurt us much.
achilles Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 So now everyone knows why we hate CSK? For no logical reason, they leapfrog over others into the team. And I'm sure Vijay's contribution might be a tuk-tuk innings seconded only by his mentor, the one and only MS.
gaurav92 Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Well he will get his chance. Talking about Murali Vijay, he is not going to play for India in the World Cup unless someone is injured :)
vvvslaxman Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Well he will get his chance. Talking about Murali Vijay, he is not going to play for India in the World Cup unless someone is injured :) All the more reason why he shouldn't have been selected for the match. Yusuf needs more match practice than someone who is not even 2nd choice opener with VIru and Gauti being fit.
wanted_desi Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I didn't understand the point of Vijay in playing 11 to tell you truth, there is no way he will be part of world cup team. Why wouldn't you want to see how Yusaf does with bat and ball? Because most certainly if not 11, he will be part in playing 15. Yes, i hate CSK :D
yoda Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Wounds caused by CSK seem to last from one IPL season to the next. :hehe: Talking about Vijay not getting a chance to be in the XI, I don't see how Yusuf gets a spot either especially when Gambhir, Sehwag return.
achilles Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 A good point about preparing your "sureshot selection" with valuable practice seems to be echoed by a lot of my friends here.
Watson87 Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I like watching Murali Vijay bat, he's pure class, his shots are top notch, he needs a few more games to prove himself in ODIs. Yousuf was a big time idiot barring the last odi, I think Rohit Sharma is a better choice than Yousuf, he bowls better, fields better and also bats like Sachin when on song.
yoda Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Vijay doesn't disappoint. :hehe: Talking about blowing your chances.
ch1234 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 Vijay back in the pavilion and Patan should be back in the next ODI..

Yusuf has a better chance of playing in the world cup XI than Vijay..
yoda Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Yusuf has a better chance of playing in the world cup XI than Vijay.. May be, but I doubt even if he gets a chance in the XI unless we have a couple of injuries.
diegovegaz Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 vijay is lost between tests and ipl should make way for yusuf in the next game
doubt Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 as yousuf is sure shot for the wc squad, may be think tank wanted to see how vijay and rohit perform here. believe only one of them will be picked for the 15 member world cup team.
The Rock Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 ^Good thing both of them failed. I want Yusuf in the playing XI, not these 2 bozos :headshake:
cowboysfan Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 who said yusuf was dropped?.yusuf is pretty much a lock for the world cup squad.the same cannot said for rohit and some of the bowlers.
Zap_Brannigan Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 We pretty much have the top 5 settled for the WC with Sehwag, Sachin, Gambhir, Raina and Yuvi. Thus the only spot open is the #6 spot which would be a fight between Pathan and Jadeja. With Jadeja's awful batting and Kholi good consistent performance, the spot is a fight between Pathan and Kholi. So 2 decisions doesn't make sense in the selection. 1st is the non-selection of Pathan. Since Rohit is no opener, Vijay was given that spot but what is the use of Rohit in the side. If Rohit is in running for the #6 spot, then what is the use of Murali Vijay, who in all probability wont feature in the Indian WC squad. 2nd is the repeated decision to send Kholi high up in the order. In the WC, kholi will be batting either at 5 or 6 (provided Yuvi or Raina is #4, as they should be). So what is the use of him batting in the top 3.
Sooda Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 ^ Personally Id pick Pathan at 7 and not Kohli, simply because it means we have an extra bowling option. We cant rely on part timers too much on Indian flat tracks. And if Kohli must play, which is fair given his form, can we drop Yuvraj...? Vijay is not a very good ODI opener, with the WC not far away it is too late to make a change in what is a largely settled squad, but post WC Mukund or Rahane should come in to the top order in case of injury to one of the main guys. I dont like how they select players who are clearly not suited to the ODI format- Vij, Ishant, Sree...
