MCcricket Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 what a joke bowling line up why is shami not there who was in last 2 a tours ? For most part I am ok with the team , atleast we have new players and not the same recycled ones, Irfan , Awana, Murali, Dhawan a welcome addition, would love to see Shami, Anwar, Dinda, VK I am not sure how long they will waste spot as they are pretenders , shouldn't be in contention for test's.

Old guy Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 also stupid logic to not let them play spin should have tested some back up bowlers who can come into side incase of injury... is shami injured otherwise no reason to drop him he outperformed danda in windies a tour... Link to comment
rkt.india Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Rohit left out. :facepalm: Link to comment

How can 1 match "test" a bowler? Link to comment
Sooda Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 The no spinner decision is a great one!! Little exposure to spin in the subcont. i love the thinking. Its a decent team, wish Rohit was there though and Shami Ahmed after his good A team tour. Itll be funny to see an Indian team with a four man pace attack... or four man trundle attack... So likely first XI Mukund, Vijay, Rahane, Yuvraj, Tiwary, Raina, Saha, Irfan, Dinda, Vinay, Awana I hope Rahane opens though, and Vijay or Mukund at 3... Prepare a green hard top, will test our A team batsmen too... Link to comment

How can 1 match "test" a bowler? pick guys based on performance and see how they do against england for example play rahul sharma if he is in contention and darekar we will know where both stand wasnt munaf selected in same way ?

MCcricket Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Rohit is one guy who was chosen for the wrong format lol, poor guy averages 60 and cannot get in A side lol, Shami, Anwar, Rayudu should be there. Link to comment

Players who have done well before this game would still be good, Players who have not done well before this game can't improve their "performance measure" by one game. Next, you need to consider that we have no places open up for spin. Ashwin, Ojha are in the first XI with Harbjahan Singh to follow. There are batting slots open and we are using India A game to good effect to test who should play. Link to comment

Crookbond Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 guys who were in a team ?1 I doubt we will carry more than 2 spinners in any case. A back up spinner in case of injury can always be called since we are in India. Link to comment
daryl1985 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 what a joke bowling line up why is shami not there who was in last 2 a tours ? Who would you drop for Shami? Dinda or Irfan? Link to comment
Old guy Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Who would you drop for Shami? Dinda or Irfan? why is irfan in team in first place ? well i will drop pathan cos i dont get his selection Link to comment

daryl1985 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 why is irfan in team in first place ? well i will drop pathan cos i dont get his selection I agree, the selectors have to stop picking and dropping players in one format, based on their form in the other formats of the game (i.e Irfan being given a chance in the A team based on ODI and T20 performances and Rohit being dropped from the test squad based on his limited overs performances).

Sandeep99 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 It's not about practice or anything.. the selectors are playing mind games on the English batsmen! It's as if reminding them 'you s**k against spin':finger: Link to comment
saneindian Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 9 batsmen in a squad of 14, 3 of whom, most likely Tiwary, Bist and Menaria will warm the benches while the domestic season is on in full swing! Great start by the new selection panel. :facepalm: Link to comment
India-KXIP fan Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 No Mandeep and they pick Vijay, Dhawan, Tiwary. :facepalm: Even Menaria ahead of Mandeep is a surprise. I can understand not picking Chand but not Mandeep! :mad: Harbhajan's already in main XI Im assuming Link to comment
