Bhuvanesh Kumar, LR Shukla, Nayar, Binny, etc - slow-medium allrounders Bipul Sharma, Abdulla, Chawla - "spin" allrounders The list doesn't include established names such as Sir Jaddu, Irfan and Yusuf. I wonder if Ashish Reddy can develop into something - his SR this List A season was quite high. The above people mentioned were for ODIs.

Won't be any better than JP Yadav and Sanjay Bangar.

JP Yadav was better than Bangar, though both of them have mediocre records in ODIs. JP's List A record was excellent though.

He doesn't bowl at all... Even if he bowls' date=' it'd not be better than Sachin's dibbly-dobbly spin[/quote'] But his cricinfo page says he's a "talented" allrounder.

I remember both playing only 1 decent ODI knock - JP in the game where Bond raped us and Bangar chasing in A'bad in 2002 (which pretty much got him a WC spot). What I remember about JP Yadav is not his cricket but his interview where he spoke about the high and low he experienced in a short time. The guy got called up to play against the WI. Flew business class, checked in to a five star hotel, gave several interviews and all that. Felt on top of the world. He made a duck in his first game (Aggy vs Sarwan match) and got dropped. He couldn't get a seat on the train home and slept on the floor.

Bangar has won 2 games for India, not one :hmmm:

Me too. I am wondering whether he was playing for Railways at that point of time. If he was, he must have got a free Railway pass/VIP quota :dontknow:

Hearing all the upper discussion' date=' I came to realize this search for an 'ultimate all-rounder' has been fecking India for a long long time... :headshake:[/quote'] Ever since Kapil Dev went into a decline and finally retired.

Prabhakar was a quality allrounder for some time. And then the zamana of the bits-and-pieces started.

Good point. Prabhakar was quite good, esp with his bowling. We had some allrounders who were quite good at one discipline but not very good at the other such as Nikhil Chopra, etc The second class was the bits-and-pieces players such as Bangar, Robin Singh, etc

where is abhishek nayyar
I've seen Nayar bowl and he's definitely a trundler who serves up hit-me balls. If he is to be selected, it must be on the basis of his batting alone, and his List A record indicates that he is far too inconsistent.
