ViruRulez Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Let's extend it. Irfan vs Yusuf vs Jadeja, Clearly now all of them belong to same area, all rounder but neither of shown sustainable performances. So for the future, we still need all rounder from them, which one? For me, clearly Jadeja, shown constant improvement and far more reliable. To be fair enough we can only tell 2-3 years down the line and once Sachin retires.. we do not know how much improvement each of them would make or maybe we could have a better allrounder produced through domestics by then .. it is too early to make any conclusions .. I like the batting improvement of Jadeja in IPL but then cannot predict by a few matches of IPL .. similarly Yusuf's bowling has improved a lot but then his batting needs to improve (infact not improve and his batting his fine. He just needs to apply his brain which he does not do) .. Irfan has just recovered from injury and is very low on confidence but then he has always shown a decline instead of improvement in recent years and so the other two get an edge .. as I said none of them are worthy of that position right now and Virat deserves the place ahead of all them .. after Sachin retires in a few years, the player who has improved the most by then will get his chances.
vishalvirsingh Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Yusuf is the BEST Has great batting SKILS much better than irfan and jadeja Is probably as good a spinner as Jadeja Is a better fielder than both irfan and Jadeja We shud support him as he is a match Winner he is a player who is a little more powerful than all others and has now some special Skills. its crystal clear he is way ahead of irfan and Jadeja. Selectors have done the right thing by choosing him ahead of irfan and Jadeja.
someone Posted April 8, 2012 Author Posted April 8, 2012 So 14 months later, we still do not know the answer and struck with the same question. Any new thoughts?
Lord Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 lol one match n Jadeja is everyone's favourite.wat about countless he lost for India?
GautiMaan Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 lol one match n Jadeja is everyone's favourite.wat about countless he lost for India? He has a heroic strike rate of 75 in ODI's batting at no.7.It will take more than one fluke ipl innings to consider him.
ganeshran Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Neither of them. If we dont have anyone else on the bench and Yuvi isnt available, then I would go for IKP.
yoda Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Need to see one full season of consistency from Jadeja. I have a feeling he will screw us come playoff time.
vvvslaxman Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Need to see one full season of consistency from Jadeja. I have a feeling he will screw us come playoff time. :cantstop:
someone Posted April 8, 2012 Author Posted April 8, 2012 I still say Jadeja as he really has shown the greatest improvement among all 3 and really still has the highest scope for further improvement. He perhaps has the best stats in our domestic circuit for the all-rounders role, so he will always be in the selector's mind.
SLICKR392 Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 both r overrated Jaddu is but Yusuf was neither over rated nor under rated!
Yoda-esque Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 both r overrated Yeah Jadeja and Shakib are quite similar :nice:
deathmonger Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 how about 7 batsmen and making raina/kohli/rohit etc do 10 overs
GautiMaan Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 how about 7 batsmen and making raina/kohli/rohit etc do 10 overs Succesful strategy when yuvi was there,the problem here is that the 4 bowlers we have are crap and certainly one or two will have a bad day,so these guys will have to bowl 15-20 overs
Lord Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 how about 7 batsmen and making raina/kohli/rohit etc do 10 overs HOW ABOUT PLAYING 11 BATSMEN
bangladeshifan Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Yeah Jadeja and Shakib are quite similar :nice: dont take those 2 names in a single sentence pls. its insulting for shakib :giggle:
Ultimate_Game Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Irfan Pathan without any shadow of doubt. He's the only one who can do anything against quality opposition. Sir Jadeja is great at IPLdomestic level but we all know what would happen when he's faced with quality opposition at intl level.

(don't think anyone knows what he is at any level :giggle:)

(don't think anyone knows what he is at any level :giggle:) Pathan is at least quality as a lower order batsman/hitter. He can at least can be relied on to score quick runs at intl level whereas Sir Jadeja can do jack shyte.
