Jadeja is actually a good odi player.

WG Grace, Bill Ponsford, Don Bradman, Wally Hammond, Graeme Hick, Brian Lara and Michael Hussey. :hatsoff:

^How many of those listed also have a 5-fer overseas? Sir Ravindra Jadeja :hail:

KT is like that astrologer who goes to all potential CM candidates before an election - unmein se koi toh CM banega election ke baad. And when someone does become the CM' date=' he goes there to say "I told you" Similarly KT makes threads on all Indian players and when anyone does well, he bumps that thread saying "I told you" :hysterical:[/quote'] :haha::giggle:

Top performance. He is our best spinner, our best fielder and is improving with the bat. Jadeja is repaying the faith Dhoni and the selectors showed in him.

[indiaregulator]

aren't you an England fan?

DandaRoy praising somebody ?:omg: Now I truly believe in the power of SIR..

I can spot a true talent. :winky: Seriously, he deserves kudos for being a laughing stock (remember we used to call him Bhikari and now Sir :hysterical:) to someone worth noticing. I am sure the change was not automatic and he worked for it. Having a humble demeanor also helps like the guy. Everyone makes fun of him calling him Sir and he takes it in stride. :hatsoff:

Well, it's Jadeja who has been the difference between solid India 2013 vs disaster India 2012.

FI is back :woot:

:two_thumbs_up: Just been busy in office off late :((

[King Tendulkar]

Jadeja is a useless batsman everywhere and can be a useful ODI bowler on subcontinent like tracks. The next CT and WC are being played in England, Australia/New Zealand where Jadeja will be hammered like he was in the CB series. It's a waste of time investing in him with any major tournament in mind. Yeah, he can useful in securing some bilateral series wins in the subcontinent, but nothing more than that.

Thoughts now?

[The Outsider]

Thoughts now?

I haven't watched much of the action in the tournament till now, but all reports suggest dry and subcontinent like pitches, so not sure what's changed?

[Lord]

highest wickets in the tournament yeah Outy talk nah :P

[King Tendulkar]

I haven't watched much of the action in the tournament till now' date=' but all reports suggest dry and subcontinent like pitches, so not sure what's changed?[/quote'] O come on now!

[cowboysfan]

he is not doing any revolutionary thing here,just bowling straight and varying his pace and spin a bit.

[Lord]

he is not doing any revolutionary thing here' date='just bowling straight and varying his pace and spin a bit.[/quote'] your point is?

[King Tendulkar]

he is not doing any revolutionary thing here' date='just bowling straight and varying his pace and spin a bit.[/quote'] So he bowls straight, varies his pace and some spin and some dont. Yeah sounds awful:giggle:

[cowboysfan]

So he bowls straight' date=' varies his pace and some spin and some dont. Yeah sounds awful:giggle:[/quote'] Its a definite improvement and i think he should be commended on that,i wish Ashwin would take a simpler approach in ODIs instead of trying to do too much.

[SLICKR392]

Cowboy is right here. He doesn't use much variety like Swann and keeps it straight, accurate and simple. Ashwin tries a new one every over and gets hammered.

[NareshK]

The trick is in his action which is very similar for the one which turns and the straighter delivery. When the ball starts turning for him, he usually foxes the batsman because they play for the turn but the ball may come straight through which gets them bowled or lbw. You have to play him off the pitch but even that is difficult because he bowls 90-100 kph and he is damn accurate. He also gets through his over very quickly, leaving very little time for batsman to settle.
