Cricketics Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 I am beginning to suspect India's selection policy is driven by the media more than anything else. Sharma not being on the plane is unexplainable. All this started with some fool saying Kohli is future India captain and here goes the merry go around. You are definately very ignorant. Whole of India's know who has more talent who actually performs more on the field. Sharma can be a really good test bat. But well, Kohli WILL be a good test bat. Thats the difference. You can't trust Sharma. You can just have hope from him that he will succeed and won't have brain farts like he has had. On other hand, Kohli is your modern Rahul Dravid type player(note not comparing with Dravid) who would save your team when they are 40-4 in odi's. He will come out in siimilar situations perhaps in test and you can trust on him to make big scores. He didn't do too well in his first outing. No problem. It happens. It was his first ever test experience, but one can still reply on him. Before Sharma, I would want to see Rahane in the team. It's this order KOHLI RAHANE SHARMA.
Cricketics Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Raina was on the mind and I typed Yuvraj. I would prefer Kohli over Raina. Raina looks like very troubled. I would love the switch, but I think Raina has earned his place and should be persisted with for one more test atleast.
achilles Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Temujin Khaghan... It is an amazing opportunity for Virat and Ojha if they get to play.

Let us continue with this billboard selection policy of India, where based on foolish public perceptions of greatness (like a popularity contest) we select people instead of ability and see what happens. I reckon the whole Yuvraj circus was not enough, we must try it one more time. Insanity is defined as trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, Indians definitely fit that. What is even funnier is that Indians don't even realize that they are trying the same thing over and over again. Kohli should perfect his technique and then play tests not use test matches to learn technique as you suggest. Unfortunately ignorant flag waving fools are more heard in India than any reasonable voice. So go on, let us all form a circle and sing "chak de India" and jerk off.

It's like our movie awards -- filmfare goes to the most "popular" movie and actors instead of being awarded on substance in the movie or merit of acting. We are like this wonly!
asterix Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Kohli doesn't know how to play with soft hands..Most of the time he'll be caught behind.. Bad choice..Kohli cannot be a Test match player FFS.. He doesn't has the temperament..
deepak_sach Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Rohit Sharma is future ranatunga of India Will he come on Headlines Today????:hysterical:
deepak_sach Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Kohli doesn't know how to play with soft hands..Most of the time he'll be caught behind.. Bad choice..Kohli cannot be a Test match player FFS.. He doesn't has the temperament.. Mukund says he has the temperament.But he is **** with the bat... Looks like with the new guys we have to go to the paki way of thinking.. I dont care how many runs he scores because he is very talented...

ludhianvi Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Sad news no Yuvi and Bhajji, Unless, another injury pops up, Kohli is unlikely to play in the XI. Despite the WI tour, Kohli has much to offer in the future. I like him. Kohli :yay:
ravsdh Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Kohli is a bad choice. Its not going to help him being stuck in here right now with a technique that needs work. I'd rather they have gone for someone like Rahane or even Rohit Sharma neither of them have had their technique tested in test cricket, so thats a ludicrous statement
Crookbond Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Sehwag brings in luck for India! http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-india-2011/content/current/story/525791.html Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh have been ruled out of the rest of the England Test series following injuries sustained during the second Test at Trent Bridge. A board statement said they would be out of action for four and three weeks, respectively - the final Test starts on August 18. Virat Kohli and Pragyan Ojha have been called up as their respective replacements ahead of the third Test at Edgbaston.

Certainly true when it comes to Yuvraj Singh. A player who can't hack it in test cricket is one of the biggest stars in the country. This leads to him being picked in the test team even though his lack of ability is obvious to anyone who has a basic understanding of the game.

This leads to him being picked in the test team even though his lack of ability is obvious to anyone who has a basic understanding of the game. Even if someone hadn't watched him before all they had to do was to watch the first 10 deliveries he faced from the seamers when he came in to bat in the 1st innings at TB, they made him looked like a silly child. Someone said yuvraj would hit broad for six sixes, I was laughing so hard it hurt, broad would have rearranged UV's face for him. Subsequently,we saw what happened in the 2nd innings, Bresnan roughed him up and got him and not just that Bresnan gave him such a boo boo that our sher ran back home immediately.
sudheer.b Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Yuvi and Bhajji out of the series for upcoming II tests Is it good news or bad news for Team India Yuvi and Bhajji replaced by Ojha and Kohli. Will Ojha be able to cement his spot? Is there any chance to Kohli? Should Yuvi's test career coming to end? Did Bhajji really injured? So many questions rising with these changes in team..............
