BERGKAMP Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Jaddu has a chance this year of helping us getting knocked out of yet another T20 World Cup. That would be 3 in 4 years. He should aim for this record. he was only a raw little rookie back then. now just the mention of his name sends tremors in opposition dressing rooms. on topic - the 2 geriatrics will only go if pushed, and that requires a new board and new selectors. so looks like poor rohit won't be making his debut until 2013 at the earliest.

NZ series is their farewell series for sure. Rohit and Pujara will have to face the heat after that. In fact, I don't mind Jaddu at No.6 as well. He can be quite a handful in the subcontinent.

Magneto Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 agree but not at 6.. Then? You want him to play as a specialist spinner?

I guess we'll struggle to beat the Kiwis and then comfortably whitewash the Poms. In fact, we should create some dustbowls and have a three spinner attack. That's why Jaddu should play at No. 6.
Old guy Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Then? You want him to play as a specialist spinner? why not? wont do worse then ishant and the way england played him on turning track..he can be quite handful!
sarcastic Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 VVS Laxman is yet to play any of his two innings of Adelaide Test match. Let us not jump the gun before watching what is in store from him. Knowing the kind of unpredictable Character VVS Laxman is, he might as well come up with career saving innings in the Adelaide Test Match in his own Very Very Special way!
Ultimate_Game Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 I say make pitched like the one in UAE/Sharjah where Pakistan are playing England and the ball was turning square in the first session, Day 1, and play Ojha, Jaddu and Ashwin with one pacer.

Knowing the kind of unpredictable Character VVS Laxman is' date= he might as well come up with career saving innings in the Adelaide Test Match in his own Very Very Special way! But do you think a century by him in a flat wicket is enough for him not to retire?
Magneto Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 why not? wont do worse then ishant and the way england played him on turning track..he can be quite handful! We'll play two spinners anyway. Jaddu's gonna be the third spinner. If you want him to be in the side as a specialist bowler, then you either drop Yadav or one of Ashwin/Ojha. That's not happening.

Even if he scores a double century, he'll not play beyond the NZ series.

That's not happening.[/quote'] but with our gr8s playing we need deep batting.. maybe play jaddu in place of ojha ( i think ojha is better then ashwin ) but honestly we should play 3 spinners poms have no clue against spin.. against nz play 2-2 combination
BERGKAMP Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Lax and Dravid are a lot more intelligent than your average cricketer, let's hope they can see things for what they are, and not let their personal ambition block the the future development of the test team.
Magneto Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 but with our gr8s playing we need deep batting.. maybe play jaddu in place of ojha ( i think ojha is better then ashwin ) but honestly we should play 3 spinners poms have no clue against spin.. against nz play 2-2 combination 1. Gambhir 2. Sehwag 3. Pujara 4. Rohit 5. Kohli 6. Jaddu 7. Dhoni/Saha 8. Bhajji/Ashwin 9. Ojha 10. Yadav 11. Zak In some time.
Old guy Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 1. Gambhir 2. Sehwag 3. Pujara 4. Rohit 5. Kohli 6. Jaddu 7. Dhoni/Saha 8. Bhajji/Ashwin 9. Ojha 10. Yadav 11. Zak In some time. but vs england gambhir,sehwag,dravid,tendulkar,laxman,kohli,dhoni
Ponka Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 OP you've already tainted your legacy by creating these useless threads. Not only dravid and laxman but also tendulkar needs to retire. No need for any of 3.
maniac Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 People slinging mud at our seniors and calling them selfish need to realise that there are not too many hot talents waiting in the wings to take over the mantle from them... If any, they would be called selfish if Sachin had retired after the WC,Dravid after his performance in the Eng series etc or VVS after say SA or even WI were he played his typical 2nd innings knock. With all due respect to Respect to the talents of Kohli(in tests) and Rohit Shrama,they have not set the world on fire with their performances so far.
Tendulkar_Bhai Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 bcci should make a rule, you have to be above average skill level in at least 2 aspects out of batting, bowling and fielding to play for india. from the current XI only kohli would survive. Even Kohli is only there due to no other alternatives. Sachin still have 2 good years and is not playing badly at all, we need his experience and quality. Dravid and Laxman should go tho
