Washed up or Forgotten talent that deserves another go

[maniac]

Who of these forgotten/Washed up/Ignored talent who have played quiet succesfully for us in the past deserves to be given another long run.

[Ultimate_Game]

Kis "tailunt" ki baat kar raha hai bhai?

[asehgal]

Dinesh Karthik. His keeping is as good or as bad as Dhoni's plus he is a better bat than him in Tests. We should make Gambhir the test captain. Dhoni does not deserve a place in the test team .

Kis "tailunt" ki baat kar raha hai bhai?

Instead of fantasizing about the mythical bowling powress of Yadav and Varun Aaron who have been ordinary for what I have seen of them,the options aint that bad considering the players who have proved to be good on an international stage on occassions. I forgot to add Jaffer to the poll but here is the basis of the players listed Good/Experienced spinner proven at the international level:Murali Karthick,Ojha Allrounders:Irfan Pathan(Bowls the same pace as PK and more than a capable technique with the bat),jadeja-I am not trying to humor people here but from what I have seen Jaddu has got a better technique than Yuvraj and I also rate him a better spinner Wicket Keepr:Kartick,Patel both on and off proven performers:Definetely technically better batsmen than our Kaptaan Seamers:RP,Mithun(Never given a fair run in helpful conditions IMHO also handy with the bat compared to some of our other seamers) Middle order:Badrinath He can't be as worse than Raina or Yuvi in these conditions

[Ultimate_Game]

RP Singh for me... he's a pretty decent swing bowler who would have been great in these conditions just like he was in 2007. Plus he adds variety being a left-armer especially since Zaheer is out.

[suraj]

The only ones even worthy of consideration at this point 1) D. Karthick 2) Ojha 3) RP Singh provided he starts showing improved first class performances Realistically once our regular batsmen are back (VS & GG) only Ojha has some chance of a look in i.e. if HS gets kicked out & his replacement Mishra fails

[Pagalpanti]

Murali Kartik, Dinesh Karthik, Irfan Pathan, RP Singh, Parthiv Patel, Balaji, Badrinath, Ojha, Jadeja, Mithun

Definitely not these 2, they are over-aged already and given a lot of chance in International arena and have failed. Irfan, RP and Ojha are the ones I see coming backing in few months given our bowling sucks now.

[pinkfreud]

For me, it would be Ojha and Murali Karthik.

[Rahul Dravid]

Dinesh Karthik.

[suraj]

For me' date=' it would be Ojha and [b']Murali Karthik.[/QUOTE] Explain please- what does he bring at this stage??

Like it or not Jaddu deserves another go in this Indian team based on the beleif some seniors have in his allround-capabilities...Once again not trying to stir any *** or humor people here but definetely not as bad as a prospect compared to some players we have tried recently

[maniac]

Experience and also a good cricketing brain...Plays county cricket in England,Was performing decently before he was dropped,deserves a chance atleast as a stop-gap option

[pinkfreud]

Explain please- what does he bring at this stage??

The question here would be: what doesn't he bring? I take it you didn't see him in that county match between Somerset and Essex. He was class with both the ball and bat. He's more familiar with English conditions than most of our other spinners and is far more wily than Dartbhajan, who's also got a pathetic average and SR to boot of late and has no variations whatsoever. But considering his age, it seems unlikely he'll be recalled. He's been ignored and given the cold shoulder for far too long.

Just goes to show how you don't know how to read those stats. 2nd best spinner, based on what? Wickets?? ridiculous Ashwin and Ojha are top 2 based on averages and Jadeja is 7th. We're done with this schmuck

[akshayxyz]

Dinesh Kartik can replace Dhoni in tests. Sehwag/Gambhir can captain.

[TheWall]

Dinesh Kartik can replace Dhoni in tests. Sehwag/Gambhir can captain.

+ infinity

[Guest Gunner]

Can Irfan Pathan make No.6 as a pure batsman (forget his bowling)?

[Cricket Tragic]

RP Singh, Ojha and D Karthik. I'd love to see Murali K back but it's not going to happen.

Bhajji?
