Selecting Chawla was baseless

[cowboysfan]

Ojha would have been devastating on Indian pitches. I dont know why he is always sidelined. He is even the highest wicket taker and most economical in IPL. He is also in our test team and picks wickets.

we need a mysterious injury to chawla so that we can get ojha back in the squad.

[Silva]

Ojha Bhajji and Yuvi could have really chocked the runs from the middle overs even on Flat pitches. That was a dumb mistake the selectors made, chawla is the same bowler he was when he last played international cricket. I like Ashwin as well so maybe the selectors got away with one. But IMO Ojha was the best ODI spinner we have.

i dont think the selectors picked chawla. chawla was picked on dhoni's request because he wanted a leg spinner

[vvvslaxman]

Few guys who could have come in place of him 1) Pragyan Ojha 2) Ramesh Powar 3) Murali Kartik or someone like 4) Abhishek Nayar

[achilles]

^ 1,2,3 check. 4 is injured and not international ready yet, IMO.

[Ravi.]

Imran Tahir has taken 11 wickets in his first 3 international matches and on the other hand experienced Chawla is bowling like a club level bowler.

If I had to decide b/w picking your poetry or Chawla's bowling, I would pick your poetry .... Nice work :nice:

Better poet than Ghalib :adore: He does provide useful variety with the plethora of offies and Yuvrajs left arm in the side. Plus he fields better than Ojha. In fact he is an ok fielder, that butter chicken rogan gosh line is a bit unfair. Tahir is far more experienced, still though it was below par performance. maybe it is time for Ashwin.

[therocky]

Chawla should be replaced by another batsman, He is useless.

[saneindian]

CHawla got picked, was the best bowler in practice matches, got picked ahead of Ashwin. Unfortunately could not do as well as he is capable of (pressure, lack of confidence etc). It happens. Thankfully with Ashwin in the team, we have a handy replacement available. Let's not be too harsh on his selection. I still have a feeling as the tournament goes on, at some stage he will play an important role as the pitches start to turn more.

[yoda]

He needs to be out of the playing XI NOW.

How is this dude Iqbal Abdulla? He looked good in the few matches i saw. He also made a century in first class.

[pinkfreud]

He's OK' date=' not brilliant, but yes, under pressure he is looking even worse. If he can't perform on this pitch against the Irish then there are serious issues of temperament.[/quote'] ++

Was he the one who played during IPL1 for KKR?

[Aniruddha]

include Dinesh Mongia :giggle::giggle::giggle:

If I said that your poem as good as Ghalib's, you would say I am being sarcastic .... so there is no way out of this, i guess :P

he looks like a good player, but i think he might be another r. jadeja at the international level. lets hope not
