Suresh Raina and Test match promotion

[Trichromatic]

Today I'm convinced that he is worst test batsman to play 100 ODIs for India.

[vvvslaxman]

I don't think he is fit for Tests. Yuvraj will come back. Not a great choice either. Rightnow cup board is bare.

Not really. We have the likes of Rahane waiting in the wings and also have Pujara, Rohit Sharma and Kohli to fall back on. It's just that our selectors think that just because you are good in odis & T20s you will be ood in Tests as well. Both Yuvraj and Raina are ideal short format players, at least for now, and selectors simply have to look at right players for appropriate format.

How the Fuuuaaarrrkkk did he score a 100 on debut. Bowling must have been utter tripe or the pitch was flat as a chapati.

I eat my words throw this piece of sh!t out of the team now

[Septimius Severus]

Thanks ensd2 damn, he looked bad at Centurion, but he has been an utter wreck this tour( minus Taunton and Lords 2nd innings. His confidence is shot.

So far all i see is disappointment. Nobody stands out from the pack. Hope some random dude comes up and surprises us.

Pujara did against Aus before he got injured. Rohit seems to be maturin based on WI tour and we haven't given Rahane a chance yet.

That will be another mistake.

Ajay jadeja was worse.

Ajay jadeja was worse.

I doubt that. Anyways, I feel that most of Indian tail-enders could handle spin better than Raina.

Watch Jadeja batting in NZ in 1998 against Simon Doull as an example. Awesome stuff. We were 15/4 in no time. :cantstop: Or against England at Edgbaston in 1996. That was even better.

[Trichromatic]

^ Jadeja was dropped after 15 tests and Oval test was 15th for Raina. :hmmm: Will the team drop Raina? Top scorer in IPL Decent player in ODI Total flop in test matches. :giggle:

[Cricket Tragic]

Pity that he isn't good enough. There is a lot to like about him. Obviously he will still be part of our ODI team.
