Chandan Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Rahul Sharma and Akshay Darekar are there. Akshay is a good left arm spinner' date=' taking lot of wickets in FC. Should have picked Awana and Aaron for RP and Bhuvnesh.[/quote'] Rahul Sharma and Darekar? Are they going to be our future spinners in tests? Great. How long will it take India to reach bottom then?
rkt.india Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Rahul Sharma and Darekar? Are they going to be our future spinners in tests? Great. How long will it take India to reach bottom then? Both are good spinners. You wont know until they play. We don't have better spinners than them.
saneindian Posted April 28, 2012 Author Posted April 28, 2012 The likely 11- Dhawan. Mukund, Rahane, Pujara, Rohit, Manoj, Saha, Rahul, Shami, Dinda, RP Singh RPS' name there is like a sore thumb. Should really have got Awana in tat squad. Hopefully he will continue to pick wickets and force the selectors to name him in this squad.
rkt.india Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Selection of RP has shown that there is no merit in selections. Good performances are not awarded and you will be in the team whether you are not even fit enough to be termed as fast bowler. R Potbelly Singh is a great example.
saneindian Posted April 28, 2012 Author Posted April 28, 2012 Absolutely. Selecting even Sudhindra would have made sense as he has lots of wickets in the season, but RP Singh when he looks least interested in playing for India now?
ShebbySB Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Awana & Abu Nechim in place of RP & Bhuvaneswar Kumar would've been ideal.Aaron is a certainty in the India squad so he was not selected.Dinda,Shami are good picksthough.I can't really understand why Jalaj Saxena manages to get in these squads of India-A or Rest of India?Does he has some kind of godfather coz he's a club level cricketer.
saneindian Posted April 28, 2012 Author Posted April 28, 2012 Rahul Sharma and Darekar? Are they going to be our future spinners in tests? Great. How long will it take India to reach bottom then? Rahul Sharma is the only young leggie in the country (besides tried and tested Chawla and Mishra), has done well in the chances he's got so far. Don't see anything wrong with his selection. As for Darekar, he's done well, taken loads of wickets, but I would have preferred to see Iqbal Abdulla being given a run, but a terrible domestic FC season seems to have spoiled his chances. Same is the case with Bharghav Bhatt as well. Who else would you have liked to see instead of these two?
Needforspeed Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Bowlers selection - barring Dinda & Shami Ahmed has been crappy. RP Singh has some real good godfather, I think. He is so crappy and unfit and at 26, cannot be considered as young. He is definitely not selected for cricketing reasons.
rkt.india Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Matches Wickets Average SR RP Singh 7 14 51.42 94.9 This is RP's performance in domestic season.
Crookbond Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/current/story/562925.html Cheteshwara Pujara will captain.
MCcricket Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 RP in the A team is a joke,he doesn't have domestic performances behind him to get a spot in the team, also he wasn't injured so they have him in the team to see how he bowls lol, Awana , Gony, P Singh rightly deserve that spot also Abu Nechim.Also there should have been a bigger squad or separate teams for 4 day and shorter versions.
Old guy Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 imp retty sure if awana continues to perform like this he will go directly into indian team :P
The Realist Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Picking RIP Singh is just plain embarrassing and depressing. He is finished as a serious cricketer - the stats and belly say it all. Only in India would he get picked when for other teams he would be the masseur at best.
msb1991 Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 The only positive is that this should be make or break for him.
Magneto Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Pujara is made captain of India A "Cheteshwar Pujara, who is looking to work his way back into the national Test team after recovering from a knee injury sustained during the 2011 IPL, will lead India A on a tour of the Caribbean in June. West Indies A will host India A for three four-day matches, three one-day matches and two Twenty20s on the tour, which begins in Barbados on June 2. " India A squad Cheteshwar Pujara (capt), Wriddhiman Saha (vice-capt), Abhinav Mukund, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Manoj Tiwary, Rahul Sharma, Ashok Dinda, Jalaj Saxena, RP Singh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Robin Bist, Akshay Darekar, Shami Ahmed
Magneto Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Jalaj Saxena and Akshay Darekar gets into the big league :hmmm:
Magneto Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 awana should ve been in this team :( Yes, instead of RP. 4 pacers and 3 spinners.
Old guy Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Yes' date=' instead of RP. 4 pacers and 3 spinners.[/quote'] rp is finished... :wall: even he knows that
akshaywekhande Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 This proves again that our selectors just can't go without kumar's bad luck for awana. . .
