ShebbySB Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 Ashwin is our best spinner right now,then Ojha.Chawla is in the squad as the 3rd spinner for variation.India will need an leggie at home against England & Australia. Who should be that leggie? Harbhajan(offie),A.Darekar(SLA) & Harmeet(SLA) won't be considered as Ashwin(offie) & Ojha(SLA) is their already.We need a leggie for variation.
Old guy Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 imo a decent offie,sla is much better then average leggie
Trichromatic Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 A leggie has better chances to be successful in away matches. Most of the modern batsmen can handle offies, but struggle big time against decent leggies. If India can find a good leggie then it would be big plus for Indian bowling line-up. Unfortunately none of our leggies are even half decent.
deathmonger Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 is there a decent leggie anywhere in world cricket now. tahir is the only leggie i know who's playing intnl and he sucks.
Crookbond Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 I would like to say a NO to all of them but given a chance only Rahul Sharma looks like succeeding.
ShebbySB Posted August 26, 2012 Author Posted August 26, 2012 I would like to say a NO to all of them but given a chance only Rahul Sharma looks like succeeding. But he's not in the squad:((
Number Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 Rahul sharma was pathetic in the WI A tour. :(( On those minefields where some random WI spinners were blowing our batting line up and Akshay Darekar was taking 5fers, Rahul couldn't buy wickets. I lost all hopes I had from him.
Crookbond Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 But he's not in the squad:(( And rightly so - he has not done anything to justify his selection. Same for Chawla and Mishra.
ShebbySB Posted August 26, 2012 Author Posted August 26, 2012 And rightly so - he has not done anything to justify his selection. Same for Chawla and Mishra. Who's the 3rd spinner then for England series?
Crookbond Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 Who's the 3rd spinner then for England series? Squad is not announced. My personal opinion is that you stick with Ashwin and Ojha. In case of an injury, it is India and we can always call up someone. Personally, I will like to go with someone apart from Rahul Sharma or Piyush Chawla. Probably, blood in some U 19 - remember this is just a back up and most likely we won't play 3 spinners. Gone are those days!
