Ashok Dinda deserves his place ahead of Mithun or Vinay in the team

[Lord]

So you want Dinda to be picked in Tests based on IPL :hmmm: He's every bit as bad as I'm making him to be. When you can't do jack shyte against Zimboks' date=' Bangbros and Loins lower order you are bad. 10 games against such opponent is more than enough to see that. His short balls and full-tosses won't trouble any decent batsman. He should stick to IPL coz that's his ceiling.[/quote'] wat about him finishing among top wicket takers last Ranji season?u r judging him based on ODIs n telling me not to judge him on IPL:giggle: about getting thrashed in Zim n SL,didnt Yadav get thrashed in Zim,in Australia ODI series(where conditions were favourable) n now in SL.isnt he a good test bowler?stop judging bowlers by ODIs

Everyone who does well at Ranji doesn't go on to become a good cricketer. If that was the case, India's best batsman right now would be Wasim Jaffer and best spinner would be Sairaj Bahutule. Your Yadav point is moot because he performed well in Test matches. Yadav has shown some credentials at the international level - minuscular it may be. Dinda has a big ZERO in that department.

u didnt get my point.Yadav sucked in ODIs but performed in tests,why cant Dinda do the same is all I'm asking.people r judging him on ODIs.but forgetting Yadav also got thrashed in ODIs. I know everyone doing well in Ranjis doesnt become a good cricketer.but they r best available criteria to judge cricketers for tests-agree or not?

In ODIs he sucks, chal at least you agreed to this! For Tets Arrey bhaiyya! Whom does Dinda play ahead of in Tests? Zaheer Khan, Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma?

Did you even consider whom the gret Dinda played in those 10 games? He played a poor Zimbabwe' date=' a 2nd tier SL team (on the tour to Zim), B'Desh and then a Loins team which lost 4-1 to Indians. I doubt you can ask for a weaker opponents and he still was taken apart in nearly every game. He could neither take wkts with the new ball, nor do much with the older one. H could neither bowl well at the start, nor do much in the middle or at the death. What's the point in persisting with him when he's actually worse than VRV Singh? Are you expecting him to run through the likes of Aussies and Saffers when he couldn't do the same against Zim & B'desh?[/quote'] He has not performed so far I agree. But he has shown he has pace, a bit of in-swing and a very good sharp bouncer. Some players take time to settle in at big stage, if Rohit can be given 80 games to show how crap he is, can't we afford to give longer rope to bowlers who show some promise?

I may not have been following too much cricket action after the fantastic 8-0 and certainly the 'glorius I.Pu.L' was a turnoff, so pardon my question... Is Praveen Kumar injured? Or has he gone terribly toothless in his bowling? It would seem that PK, despite being a trundler, is a better trundler than Mithun or VK or Dinda?

PK has been mystrously left out.was bad in Asia Cup but so was everybody

Ishant will still get a preference IMO and if he's not around we will play Yadav. Yes for the bold part.

I was one of Dinda's supporters on this forum..but have to admit that he looked like the worst Indian bowler in the recent SL series. Since he is already 28, we cannot talk about his potential for the future either.

Dollar Mahmud, Rubel Hossain etc.. A hard worker. Far from being called a potential or talent.

[India-KXIP fan]

They are all ****. The best they would average over a semi long career is 35. They don't have potential.

bounced them out and won the match for us.

This is like Ravi shastri's 5 for 15 at Perth :cantstop:

Dinda is a poor bowler, almost lost us the final ODI.
