[Sid]

BIG FACEPALM id rather have given laxman a farewell series than have this quota pick in the team.

[adi B]

pure quota system...such a feckin disgrace :facepalm:

[Raghav_12]

So VVS Laxman retired to make way for S badrinath. Great. Many people here would feel content now.

[kubrickian]

Badrinath has never looked good enough at the international level. I dont know why they keep bringing him back. He is pathetic even against decent quality fast bowling, forget the likes of Steyn or Broad.

[Trichromatic]

Then people wonder why this 'wc-cup-winning-test-no-1' selection committee gets so much criticism. :phehehe:

[MCcricket]

Just when u thought the idiot who has done enough damage is gone he pulls out a rabbit out of his ass lol literally Badrinath is a classless, stroke less wonder, he will make a trundler look like a express bowler lol.

[GautiMaan]

He wont get into the 11 calm down guys

[jairamesh]

Two words: India A. What does India A stand for? What is the concept behind India A? :headshake: More and more I think I wouldn't be too sad if NZ win this series. Let's recap the current India A squad (btw also an iffy selection):

Abhinav Mukund (capt.), Naman Ojha (wk), Mandeep Singh, Anustup Majumdar, Unmukt Chand, Ashok Menaria, Ambati Rayudu, Suryakumar Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Akshay Darekar, Vinay Kumar, Shami Ahmed, Jalaj Saxena, Rahul Sharma, Rituraj Singh and Jaydev Unadkat

I can't seem to find Badri's name in there.

[Crookbond]

^ As usual you've got it correct - India A makes no sense after this selection.

[SLICKR392]

Keeping him away from the team for a long time. Now making a mockery out of him by selecting him as a replacement.

[vvvslaxman]

Badrinath will announce retirement in another year or so :cantstop:

[jairamesh]

^ As usual you've got it correct - India A makes no sense after this selection.

I would have accepted Badri's selection if he was in the India A squad for NZ tour, or if Mukund/Rayudu got selected. This just stinks of blatant regional/zonal selection(or whatever people want to call it).

[Spiderguy252]

S Badrinath vs Umar Akmal. Start the threads!

[SLICKR392]

:cantstop:

[superstar]

Chennai Bradman !!! He is a million times better than nohit.

[vvvslaxman]

Even if there was going to be regional bias i would not have picked this dude. Rather Dinesh Karthik who i rate him above Badri.

[The Dark Horse]

Expected reactions, but he wont be in the playing XI so don't sweat over it guys :P
