rkt.india Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 his recent ranji trophy form suggests that he has enuff to probably penetrate you several times batsmen at domestic cricket are very poor against a centimeter of swing. Remember 21 all out Hyderabad last year.
Lord Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 batsmen at domestic cricket are very poor against a centimeter of swing. Remember 21 all out Hyderabad last year. so r the Aussie batsmen,remember 47 all out?
rkt.india Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 so r the Aussie batsmen' date='remember 47 all out?[/quote'] Aussie pitches are not like SA.
Lord Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Aussie pitches are not like SA. what has that got to do with Aussies's ability to play swing?its not like they'll become better players of swing in Aus
rkt.india Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 what has that got to do with Aussies's ability to play swing?its not like they'll become better players of swing in Aus They are not weak against swing. They are suspect against swing at a decent pace. Otherwise, England would have been eating them every time they play in England in seaming and swinging conditions, but that is not the case. Likes of Cork would have been taking bundle of wickets against them in England, but that is not the case. And it was not the swing, it was seam in SA where they folded for 47, ball was doing a lot after pitching, not in the air, and for that you need that kind of a pitch as well.
BeautifulGame Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Amarnath is watching the UP vs Rajastan match.Probably having a look at RP singh or even Bhuvenesh Kumar before choosing PK replacement for Aus tour. And RP singh is blwing well too today.I think he will the favourite for selection.But Bhuvenesh Kumar could be a dark horse for the selection.A like for like replacement for PK , can swing the ball , Similar pace , bowl long spells with good control and a decent batsman too.

achilles Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Sreesanth has the luck of a cat. It is amazing to see how fate changes its story everytime Sreesanth gets dropped for a player and the player gets injured, leaving a room for Sree to comeback. Unfortunately, he's injured this time round. And the best replacement, in terms of experience et al, Ashish Nehra. No one else will be a better replacement than him and he'll provide another option in an otherwise all right-handed bowling attack.

Ya select a player who cant play 2 tests in a row just because he has experience :facepalm:
achilles Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Ya select a player who cant play 2 tests in a row just because he has experience :facepalm: Yaar, please tell me how are any of these players better picks than Nehra- 1. RP Singh 2. Mithun 3. Tyagi (??) 4. Unadkat 5. Irfan (Wildcard)
rkt.india Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Yaar, please tell me how are any of these players better picks than Nehra- 1. RP Singh 2. Mithun 3. Tyagi (??) 4. Unadkat 5. Irfan (Wildcard) Nehra is playing FC cricket after 3 years. We do not need a suspected fitness bowler. Zaheer is already here with suspect fitness. One is enough. Irfan too is a suspect fitness bowler. RPS is still better.
BeautifulGame Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Yaar, please tell me how are any of these players better picks than Nehra- 1. RP Singh 2. Mithun 3. Tyagi (??) 4. Unadkat 5. Irfan (Wildcard) Regardless of talent or form or anything else fitness is the first criteria for selecting a player. So all five are better picks than Nehra.
gakgupta Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Yaar, please tell me how are any of these players better picks than Nehra- 1. RP Singh 2. Mithun 3. Tyagi (??) 4. Unadkat 5. Irfan (Wildcard) Better to give a chance to youngster like abu nechim rather than any of the players above who has been tested and proved worhless
BeautifulGame Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 At the end of his first full day of first-class cricket in three years, Ashish Nehra found himself pleased - and sore - at having survived 16 overs of bowling on the Feroz Shah Kotla's eccentric wicket in Delhi's Ranji Trophy match against Tamil Nadu. "I've been bowling in the nets and training for weeks now and thought that it would be better to play in a match and see how I can do," Nehra told ESPNcricinfo. "If this match goes fine, I will be able to play in least three of Delhi's six matches." Nehra's last four-day game for Delhi was against Hyderabad in early November 2008. His return at the Kotla, with its early morning assistance for swing and general low bounce for the rest of the day, had gone well. Nehra said that it was only in the short three-over burst at the end of the day, "that I began to get a bit tight." After stumps, Nehra spent close to two-and-a-half hours cooling down and stretching. The advantage of an eight-day gap between the fixtures against Tamil Nadu and Baroda has encouraged Nehra to assess his fitness in the four-day game. "It's not that I don't want to play in the longer version of the game, to say that is not right, I would love to play it if I could," he said. "I know my body cannot handle two four-day games with a gap of only three days between them. It's not the bowling that is a problem, it's the 90 overs in the field that in the past, have caused strains and injuries ... It is no fun sitting at home and not playing, only training and bowling in the nets." Delhi captain Mithun Manhas said Nehra's advice helped the team's two younger pacemen, Parvinder Awana and Pradeep Sangwan. "It is always good to have a player's of Ashish's experience around and it eggs the younger bowlers on." Nehra's last match for India was the World Cup semi-final against Pakistan during which he broke the fingers on his right hand while diving for the ball. It required surgery in five places and bone grafts from his wrist. At the Kotla on Friday, he dived on the field once more. "I did not feel under pressure at the start of the day, but I was thinking, 'will I be okay, will everything go well?' And so far it has. Now let's see what happens." Nehra made his comeback to the Indian team in September 2009 after a gap of four years. In the run-up to the World Cup, he became India's highest wicket-taker in limited-overs in the previous two years, with 78 wickets in both ODIs and T20 and was part of World Cup-winning squad. After his post-World Cup return from injury, Nehra was disappointed to neither be picked for the two ODI series against England nor be among the BCCI's list of centrally contracted players. Of the World Cup-winning team, only Nehra and Yusuf Pathan have not been awarded BCCI contracts. http://www.espncricinfo.com/ranji-trophy-elite-2011/content/story/541144.html It would be ridiculous even considering selecting Nehra for test cricket.
King Tendulkar Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 ICF has gone bonkers. First the delusional wanted crpathan back. Now Nehra is being touted for the test team:hysterical:
