Edgbaston test : Day by day prediction and discussion

[zen]

Considering fitness, appears as if Zak should not have been on this tour in the first place

[Yoda-esque]

This is a joke...What a sham of a tour :facepalm:

[asterix]

Hope people get over this Zak mania...Selectors should start looking for young bowlers now.. Enough of the this Zak hoopola.. Unfit player..Must be looking forward to play IPL5 now..

He probably tried to come back so soon because the team needed him. As much as we hate him for poor fitness, let's keep things in perspective. Unfortunately, we have no one to replace him. He is probably more instrumental in our #1 ranking than Dhoni or any single batsman.

Considering fitness' date=' appears as if Zak should not have been on this tour in the first place[/quote'] Very unprofessional approach by management. First we pick an unfit bowler just because he is best bowler. If they can't decide that whether he is fit enough to play a single test or not, then it's really pathetic. Then we have a known fit opener in the team who didn't play in two tests and we fall short of opener. :facepalm: Why some young bowler didn't get chance to go there? What was their fault? :((

At this rate, if we don't have proper replacements, we will be going down pretty quickly..

To hell with #1 ranking.. At this rate' date=' if we don't have proper replacements, we will be going down pretty quickly..[/quote'] We have seen how much playing with 3 bowlers (mainly 2) has helped in no 1 ranking. I don't how playing without proper replacement is good idea. It's not even a risk. It's just stupid decision. Test matches are played over 5 days. There is no way that an unfit player can take his chances.

Unprofessional cricket. We deserve it

Perhaps Nehra will now replace Zak in ODI squad

[NareshK]

Serves India right for relying on Zaheer so much over the years.

[asterix]

Who do you think can replace zak?

Any young fit bolwer who can play in place of him? Say if there's no replacement of Zak, what do you suggest? Shall we use a cut-out of him and place it on the field to inspire other bowlers?

[cowboysfan]

:haha:.. What I meant was' date=' our only option might be to go with the same seamers as the 2nd test..[/quote'] We have seen our available bowling punters..Just like they brought in few replacements, no harm in getting a replacement for that joker Zak..Atleast we'll have some more options and also stop giving this joker a free tour doing nothing..Atleast this joker can go back and get fit for the next IPL..
