[asterix]

Now that's stretching it too far... :giggle: Calm down 'tics paaji..

[Cevno]

Lets stop jumping the gun here.One innings in some 25 matches by Jadeja.

Exactly he will have off days but when you add his bowling and fielding, the balance he gives means he should be in team at the moment. At number 7 or 8 he is ok. In odis I seem him as bowling all rounder

Haha agreed.

He isn't a tailender but hasn't been suited to the role he is to play so far.

[Cevno]

Now he'll be in the Indian team till the Champions trophy where he won't be upto that much with the ball either.

yes but hes developing,still a WIP.gotta be patient with him.I am just saying dont write him off atm.its too early.

[ganeshran]

Jadeja has played a once in a lifetime innings....literally once in a lifetime

[Clarke]

Lets admit the truth here, he's bowled better than our FT bowlers earlier and now batted better than them. Good or not, he's certainly deserving of a spot compared to some other players.

[Cevno]

yes but hes developing' date='still a WIP.gotta be patient with him.I am just saying dont write him off atm.its too early.[/quote'] I atleast never wrote him off. But he shouldn't be in the team as a all rounder tbh. Maybe a bowler who can bat at 8.

Unless he can do this consistently and away too.

[King Tendulkar]

He is in as 5th bowler who is electric in the field and will now and then deliver with bat like today. Has bowled superbly in pak odis and eng odis, dont forget that

Meh, Yuvraj has been bowling as well as him over the past 2/3 years. Probably better away. As long as he is doing that, we don't need the fifth bowler who bats well once in 10 matches. He will need to do it consistently or become a wicket taking bowler and not just a re stricter.

we do need him.we need more than 5 decent bowling options

Nah, can't afford it. Having extra good batsman is more important than having extra good bowlers in ODI's. Dhoni won't bowl Yuvraj much when Jadeja plays anyway, as both are LAS.

[Cevno]

Plus we have 2/3 part timers who can fill in too, which is more than most other teams. Our bowling's primary job in ODI's is keeping it tight usually as we don't have wickettakers.
