Sooda Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 If he can clean up and beat Cook for pace on one of the slowest pitch in the world' date=' surely he can trouble others too.[/quote'] In an ODI with possibly uneven bounce. He has more to prove before he can play test cricket.
rkt.india Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 In an ODI with possibly uneven bounce. He has more to prove before he can play test cricket. You get more uneven bounce in tests and his ability to reverse at pace.
rkt.india Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Its Varuns 22nd Bday today. Love the fact that cricinfo have him as medium fast. At 140 + ..sure. Had he been Aussie hed been a fast bowler for sure. Ya...like Cummins who is bowling slower than Aaron and Yadav in SA.
panther Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Ya...like Cummins who is bowling slower than Aaron and Yadav in SA. cummins is bowling 140 fastest 147 he's younger too
rkt.india Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 cummins is bowling 140 fastest 147 he's younger too Consistently slower than Yadav, younger does not mean anything. He is written fast in cricinfo.
panther Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Consistently slower than Yadav' date=' younger does not mean anything. He is written fast in cricinfo.[/quote'] he's only a teenager he will get faster with age (unless he gets injured or something) brett lee was hitting similar speeds at his age
Sooda Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Yeah he passed away but his Winnie the Pooh books will live long in our memories.
skindia Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 I think selectors have picked Rohit sharma but instead they wrote name of Rahul sharma in list.After same type of incident two month ago they dont want to accept mistake again so they kept name of rahul sharma as it is.
akshayxyz Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Expect 100th 100.:yay::yay: yesterday I dreamt of the same and watching in the stadium.. but the match is in Delhi.. hope the first part turns out to be true.. :nervous:
akshayxyz Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Rohit should be brought in the test squad as soon as possible. Yuvraaj's selection is baffling. Selectors and Yuvraaj himself need to understand that he was never a test batsman and will never be in the future. So it is time to look to others. ++ His FC record (avg ~60) is much better than Kohli (~52). Which does not guarantee similar performance in tests, but w/o trying we would not know. What is the use of performing in FC then, if that does not earn you even a chance. Kohli has definitely earned preferred spot in ODIs. But, in tests, Rohit must be tried ahead of Kohli - on home ground, and esp after how he performed in WI ODIs.
Ram Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Excited at the fast bowling selections. Ishant has been our standaout bowler in the last 2 test series and both Umesh and Varun have plenty of pace. But I am stumped- Rahane is a fine player, butwhat happened to Mukund? He was actually one of the few batsmen in the England series who got better as time went on. In fact, wasnt he the only batsmen to score a 100 on the entire tour? (in the tour game). Besides, Mukund has already played in the Windies bowlers in some really tough conditions in the Windies. He could have done REALLY well against them at home. But then of course - both Viru and Gautam are fit and available, so it probably doesnt really matter.
VRV Singh Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 I think Ashwin debuting is the most intriguing part of this, though I understand the interest in the fast bowling. RA has been very consistent in ODIs and the way he "works" batsmen out might serve him well in Tests. I hope he does well, and is encouraged to attack. Certainly it will be the first time in a while an Indian spinner goes into a Test on consistent form.

Ram Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Someone scored 3 centuries for india:--D :winky: He is dropped too! :((
master22 Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 :winky: He is dropped too! :(( err im talking about RD!You must have thought about bhajji lol
saneindian Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 So they rested PK for the tests citing his excessive workload, but asked him to travel back to Kolkata for this t20 after spending a day at home for Diwali! When will these jokers learn to plan such things properly?

But then of course - both Viru and Gautam are fit and available, so it probably doesnt really matter. Completely agree about Mukund. It is the height of unfairness to give a 21-year old a debut on some tough pitches in WI and England, and then discard him after he showed some potential (yes, he has some technical weaknesses but which young Indian batsman doesn't? More importantly he didn't look out of place at Test level, impressive given his lack of experience at international level and in FC cricket away from home). I would have picked both Rahane and Mukund, leaving out Yuvraj. At this stage, its more important they are in the mix for India rather than worrying too much about what position they bat at - and in any case, it is easier to make the transition from opener to middle-order than vice versa.
Ram Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 ^ He was talking abt Dravid err im talking about RD!You must have thought about bhajji lol Sorry poyz - i am slightly rusty with cricket.. havent been watching too much lately. :--D Yes, apart from the Great Wall of India, wasnt Mukund the only other Indian batsmen to score a 100 on the tour? :D
