He's one guy you hope to see succeed. The guy gives it all, throws no tantrums, is a team man to the core, shows no attitude, doesn't have a big head and no ego clashes. The guy's a professional through and through :hatsoff: He may fail due to lack of talent or technique in Tests but not due to lack of trying.
Jersey #10 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 With Yuvi back in the team..we will have 3 quality finishers with Irfan @ 7 :yay: Not so fast :nervous:
kubrickian Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 He has won so many games for India in the finishing stages and how he manages to stay so calm under pressure is beyond me. His contribution to the success of Indian side is immense :hatsoff:
jj_28 Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Raina on his recent performances - :hatsoff: But he still has a few weakness to iron out in ODI and some major weakness to iron out in ODI but his improvement in recent time has been similar to that of Kohli 2011 Rohit vs Tiwary Sehwag vs Rahane these two places are still up for grabs but Gambhir, Kohli, Raina, Dhoni have secured their places in the team at least for the coming season

It's quite funny how underrated this guy is.
jj_28 Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 I said improvement, Raina has always shown promise but this is the first time he has delivered on that promise on a fairly consistent basis Everybody rates Raina we were just waiting for him to find some kind of consistency Hopefully he will carry this form into the upcoming Test series

tatters Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Raina is a ball-less **** just like most other Indian youngsters. Get the English attack bowling bouncers at him and he'll **** himself. He's an utter fanny. On sub-continent wickets, he's effective but that doesn't gain my respect. Kohli is the only player in today's Indian team (exc. Tendulkar) who can face up to difficult conditions. The rest need to grow some testicles.

The guy's a professional through and through :hatsoff: He may fail due to lack of talent or technique in Tests but not due to lack of trying.[/quote'] I suggest you look at the way he got out in recent tests. It is due to a lack of trying. More specifically, he's girl who's afraid of the short ball.

1983-2011 Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 i still remember the day when raina made his debut alongside venugopal rao against Sri Lanka as 18 year old. he came in to bat when india were 63-4 after 19 overs. raina faced his first international ball from murali and got out lbw by his doosra first ball and i was like wtf are these newbie doing in indian team but he has come a long way since
Cricketics Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 You can trust him to score over 120 run strike rate and finish it off for India 7 out of 10 times. Trump card down the order.
maniac Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 I would definetely like to know your list for what you think would be the best starting line-up for India with currently available players :hatsoff: to your Pessimism
Number Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Raina is a ball-less **** just like most other Indian youngsters. Get the English attack bowling bouncers at him and he'll **** himself. He's an utter fanny. On sub-continent wickets' date= he's effective but that doesn't gain my respect. Kohli is the only player in today's Indian team (exc. Tendulkar) who can face up to difficult conditions. The rest need to grow some testicles. Should've watched more Cricket than that last year, when India were playing England.
ravishingravi Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 He is a boss on sub continental tracks. But have to say, he did show some erratic temperament in last two overs. Both him and Irfan were doing all they can to mess up their good work.

Get the English tundlers to bowl anything at him on a nice summer (Indian) day in Kanpur,Baroda,Mohali(Can list more venues for your convinience) pitches in the slog overs and they will **** themselves
rkt.india Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 I said improvement, Raina has always shown promise but this is the first time he has delivered on that promise on a fairly consistent basis Everybody rates Raina we were just waiting for him to find some kind of consistency Hopefully he will carry this form into the upcoming Test series At the no. He bats most often and in those situation, he will never score 100s, he is in lose-lose position, even if he 40, no one remembers because had scored more.

He failed in tests but was secind highest run getter in ODI for both teams.
