Sachin=GOD Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Just look at ODIs and you will be even more amazed. Out of all the bowlers who have ever taken 50+ wickets in ODIs, Sreesanth has THE HIGHEST ECONOMY RATE. Link But he is definitely talented. Its just that he does not have the temperament. If he can somehow sort out his temperament then I still have hopes for him.
Karan114 Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 655 for 5 Unless there is rain on the horizon, I don't see why they will rush the declaration...they will want to properly crush India, by something like an innings and 200 runs
Pagalpanti Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 ^ I know thats true, but he has been around long enough to get that right, I guess its time he should be done away with. We cannot afford to play him and lose 4 matches out of 5 so that he wins us the 5th one. Also I think selectors have lost hope in him too, he has been dropped from ODI side, indication that he may not be a regular now.
rkt.india Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 What speed does Pankaj bowl at? 125-130k watched him in duleep trophy match..another substandard giant like kuruvilla and ranadeb bose
Sid Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 125-130k watched him in duleep trophy match..another substandard giant like kuruvilla and ranadeb bose But the question arises,how do these substandard bowlers keep on taking wickets in domestic cricket.
Cricketics Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Ishant too. A player who has been man of the series twice in a test series, can't be in this same list. He has potential. Yes he loses it every now and then. But still he is one of the best in India. Hardly bowlers win man of the series. And in just small span, he has become a man of the series in 2 test series.

I completely agree. and have been saying this for a long time that he needs to be dropped from all formats of International cricket. If he can sort out his problems, well and good, otherwise he should not be considered for the team again IMO.
Fontaine Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 He simply isn't committed enough - plain and simple. Talent without hard work is not enough. Look at how a bowler like Tim Bresnan has improved over the years' date=' working on his fitness and skills, despite not being as naturally gifted as Sreesanth. Sreesanth has not improved one bit since he made his debut 6 years ago, and his fitness has gotten progressively worse. At 28, he will never change and remain a mediocre bowler despite his talent.[/quote'] Exactly. The point is he's finished, he's done. Time to move on and find someone else instead of giving this donkey any more chances just like Bhajji. SRT/VVS/Dravid/Zaheer will be gone in another year and we have little time left to find a good bowling lineup by grooming other bowlers with Ishant.

Yeah, I would be looking at building an attack around Praveen, Ishant and Ojha. Unfortunately, we lack a strike bowler (Ishant can become one in the future but he is inconsistent right now), but we have to make do with what we have.
Cricket Tragic Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 125-130k watched him in duleep trophy match..another substandard giant like kuruvilla and ranadeb bose I thought that you wanted him in the team. :hmmmm2: I think I might be confusing you with another poster.
Sooda Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 Ravi, Vibhash, Amiret, Fontaine.. cheers for the lowdown on whats been happening
rkt.india Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 But the question arises' date='how do these substandard bowlers keep on taking wickets in domestic cricket.[/quote'] No idea..Ranadeb bose was a legend.
Pagalpanti Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Pacers have never been our strength, I think we have to go back to 2 pacers + 2 spinners. Harbhajan - only if he improves and a pool of Ashwin, Ojha, Mishra, Chawla and Iqbal Abdulla.
CSK Fan Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Our fortune changes tomorrow Yep, 8/12, Friday is the day when this tour will take a complete U-Turn, we will come back to win this and the next test and square the series. The ODIs will be a walk in the park. I can feel it in my b@lls
Blue Panther Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 India-No.1 Team in the world. :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hatsoff:
punjabi_khota Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Go get a STD test done. Its probably herpes.
Ram Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 I have simply stopped following it. It is quite simply, too depressing for me (no jokes, my mood plummets like a stone thrown from a multi-story, whenever i think about our Tour to England). I did not have great hopes of a series win going into this win, but even in my wildest dreams I never imagined that we will get thrashed like this, REPEATEDLY. This does not like a test series between 2 teams competing for the no.1 spot in the rankings, it looks more a demolition derby. Whether this is a temporary blip, or a sign of things to come, we will know soon enough.
