Forget the Big Four and Build the Team Around Yadav.

[achilles]

You've seen the change in his attitude? He's gone from being a shy debutant in Australia during the first test to eyeballing the Aussie batsmen in this test.

completely agree with the title.... i have always believed , bowlers win u matches, batsmen can score a decent or even average total, then also bowlers are the strike weapons for a team.... with the outset of the oldies, india will have to accept a new tradition i.e win with bowlers nd even half decent batsmen can contribute around for the pace bowlers to come into the hunt

C'mon mate. Lets appreciate him for trying to lift our spirits up and writing a good post in support of our boys. Don't look at the part of the world he comes from' date=' look at the merit of his post.[/quote'] I didn't even notice where the OP was from. I just don't think there is evidence yet that Yadav is a "special talent", etc. He might very well turn out to be but ain't setting the cricket pitch on fire yet.

But don't you think we need to be patient with someone who looks like the fastest we've had in a long long time?

I never said we should be impatient with him. All I am saying is that he isn't (yet) all that the OP is making him out to be.

[Pagalpanti]

I certainly don't. I am not convinced about his action and whether it can hold up in the long run. Yadav looks like a more finished article.

Well if we had choices I'd agree with you but I'd rather see him play than the likes of Mithun and Vinay who can't bowl over 130k.

[Ultimate_Game]

I would love to see a 4 man pace attack of Vinay, Mithun, Balaji and Dinda with Unadkat as the stand in pacer in case any of the top 4 gets injured

[Utalk]

Team full of stars getting humiliated and guess who stands up in adversity. Umesh Yadav is a special talent.

[jonas10]

Correction...team full of washed up stars...but yeah see your point.

[King Tendulkar]
