Amit Mishra: I considered quitting

[Stuge]

why blame him only ? every player in our team let us down :(

[Pagalpanti]

Thats why players shouldn't give interviews like this just after 1 series.

[CSK Fanatic]

We better play Yousuf, he will get more wickets and score some useful runs. Not kidding, he is very underrated spinner.

[Ultimate_Game]

We better play Yousuf' date=' he will get more wickets and score some useful runs. Not kidding, he is very underrated spinner.[/quote'] He, along with Yuvraj, surely can't do any worse than our so called "specialist" spinners. And at least we will have a decent tail :haha:

[Sir john]

mishra giving too many juicy deliveries too english batsman. :mad:

[Ravi.]

Yeah quit for the sake of India. Also take Ishant,Sree and RP with you.

[Yoda-esque]

Please re-consider

[Karan114]

Mishra sux ....we blame bhajji but he has been our wicket taker in many occasions where other seemed to have failed Please Mishra retire to IPL

Along with most of this team, to be honest. Tamasha cricket is their true level, the way they are playing.

[ganeshran]

Even Bhajji would have done better

[anotherhawkeye]

^ that's the biggest insult you can hurl at a spinner

[J P K]

I get a feeling selectors and Dhoni will make sure he does so after the series :haha: Based on this performance probably Harbhajan was right in saying he's the no. 1 spinner in India. With competition like Mishra and Piyush "Confidence" Chawla sure he's our no. 1 spinner :hysterical: Pretty damning for us that our best spinners are actually Raina and Yuvraj.

Even Bhajji would have done better

Harsha Bhogle : as a cricket lover enjoyed watching swann bowl. same track on which mishra got 0-170. our problems looking deeper than we think. I wonder on what basis we expect to thrash opponents even on our pitches with such spinners who have no zip in their bowling

Amit Mishra: I considered quitting 14/6/2011 Indian leg-spinner Amit Mishra on Tuesday said being thrown out of the national team despite reasonable performances was pretty hard to digest. Mishra made his ODI debut in 2003 and played only two games before being thrown into wilderness for more than six years. His Test career has been even more dramatic as in his first year (2008) he picked 20 wickets in five matches against Australia and England only to be ignored later. "I once took seven wickets and scored a half-century against Bangladesh in a Test match. But I was promptly dropped in the next game," said Mishra. The leg-spinner, who has picked nine wickets at an average of 17.00 in the ongoing series against West Indies, said there was a time when he was considering calling it a day. Mishra said: "I wish no cricketer goes through what I have in my career." "But for my family, who supported me on and Ranbir Mahendra (HCA president) I would have hung my boots long ago." With Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh being an integral part of the Indian team, Mishra still felt that he was being treated unfairly. "I just let out my frustration on a cricket ball. I bowled and bowled and bowled. During matches, in nets and many a time alone. I worked on my leg-spinners, drifters, googly, variations in pace, degree of spin, everything," said the 28-year-old, who has more than 400 first-class wickets to his name. However, being part of the national team once again Mishra feels that picking wickets is the only way to cement your place. "Economy is alright but wickets matter more to me. There's no point in going for 0 for 45, it's better to have 3 for 50. It's good for you and for the team as well." http://www.sportal.co.in/cricket-news-display/mishra-i-considered-quitting-126325

He bowls too slowly and hasn't got any zip in his bowling at all. So even when it turns, it is so slow that batsmen have time to adjust (basically to decide whether to hit it for 4 or 6).

[J P K]

the guy bowled so well last year broke into top 5 wicket taker this year pathetic fielding bowling has gone down kings gained momentum from his over and went on to win this game

[Pagalpanti]

Not sure what happened with him, he was decent and deceptive when I saw him in the 2008 series against Australia. He had them in all sorts of trouble. Has gone down since then..
