Asia Cup 2012 Schedule : Discuss the squad for India

[Ultimate_Game]

Sachin should not play but he will not be axed.I would not drop Viru' date='he is a different beast in asia.[/quote'] True that! Already looking forward to Sehwag against Gul and Cheema in Asia Cup

[zen]

My X1 Veeru :two_thumbs_up: GG Pujara Kolhi Raina Dhoni Yusuf B-> Irfan Spinner Yadav Zak (after Asia Cup, he should focus on tests and IPL only)

Pujara in odis when he hasn't done much You are making the same mistake as Srikkanth, i.e. picking player in a format based on good performances in another format.

My 11 Viru Sachin (retires after he scores 100 against the Paks) Gambhir Kohli Rohit Raina Dhoni Ashwin Kumar Zak Yadav

[Number]

Viru Gambhir Kohli Rohit/M Tiwary MSD / Karthik Raina Irfan Ashwin Rahul Vinay/Dinda Zaheer/Umesh

[the_indian_fan]

gambhir uthappa kohli raina manoj tiwary dhoni yusuf pathan ashwin rahul sharma/vinay kumar umesh yadav praveen kumar reserves: pujara irfan pathan vinay kumar/rahul sharma dinda rest sehwag & zaheer

[skindia]

Rahane pujara rohit sharma Robin bist these players should be selected for test format only.

[skindia]

Gambhir uthappa kohli manoj tiwari Raina( should be given last chance as he has ability) yusuf pathan dhoni Dinesh kartik ashwin rahul sharma Ravindra Jadeja(won't be dropped)/Irfan pathan praveen kumar umesh yadav dinda munaf patel

[Ultimate_Game]

Rahane pujara rohit sharma Robin bist these players should be selected for test format only.

Rohit Sharma doesn't belong in the list and should play all formats.

[skindia]

Rohit Sharma doesn't belong in the list and should play all formats.

Thats true..But ideally he is suited for test...He should have got chances in tests first.people labels him as odi failure..If he would have played tests first he would have got success in odi also like dravid got same way.

[jonas10]

Rohit needs a full look. He is our most talented player...even more than Kohli.

Twitter Buzz Rahane, Karthik, Yusuf and Dinda in.

Rahane :facepalm: He should have been picked in Aus and not subcontinent

Not conformed yet. I agree Rahane fails to time the ball against 140ish pace and is not a power player. Veeru, Uttapam or even Rohit should open the innings.

On patta B'desh pitches you need to go with the likes of Sehwag, Gambhir, Raina, Yusuf etc. and not with Rahane & Pujara. Picking Rahane for Asia Cup after dropping him for the tri-series in Aus would be compounding the error.

Srikanth was at the Delhi ODD game yesterday watching Ishant bowl. Indicator that Ishant could make a comeback to the ODI side for Asia Cup. Disappointed that Awana was rested from yesterday's match. He could have shown Cheeka how good he is and staked a claim.

Awana has been phenomenal in the three games he has played. 12 wickets at 8 RPO and with an economy of 3. Pawan Suyal has come back well too, took 3 yesterday. They must be looking for a new left arm pacer as well to replace Zak in future.

[MCcricket]

Trust Cheeka and co to literally pull bunnies out of the hat lol, deserving talent goes unnoticed, or stay on the bench thnx to captain and selectors while Jokers like Unadkat , Mithun, and so many others get picked to play for India lol.Selectors don't know which players are suited to what formats, P Patel not a ODI player, same for Rahane,why are failures like Jadeja persisted with, get Gony, Dinda, Suyal, M Pandey, Saha, Kartik, why do we have soo many non performers, trundlers in the squad.
