Guys do u think will vijay be selected in TESTS after his heroic 266 against **** bowling attack and useless pitch? I am afraid that CSK biased Srikanth might select him in tests for struggling GAMBHIR:nervous:

[gsivak]

Srikanth is no more the selector...so we have to wait and see. Rahane is doing decent too so he should be given a chance.

[kumar713]

Since Vijay plays for CSK he has more chance of making a comeback compared to others....

[vvvslaxman]

He has to do well on A tours. Irani Trophy used to be an important match for career of lot of players. Nowadays it is often a mismatch. Kumble, Dilip Vengsarkar all came back or started their career through Irani Trophy Performance.

Murali Vijay is Class ... On Pattas .. He is our best chance to score 300s. We need more 300s after Veeru made it twice. I'm greedy to see more 300s from Indian batters.

No point ... I dont mind we getting a few draws as long as we see some more 300s from our batters.. It sucks that after so many years we have just 1 player to show in that 300 club.

We've got Amla ;)

Murali looked at home against good international bowling, he used to throw away his wicket, same as Gambhir, I have more faith in him as a batter then Mukund or some other rookies, he believes and behaves like he belongs in the international arena

[JourneyMan]

Vijay definitely needs to be in the squad, at least.

Thread title is deragatory:orderorder:

[CoverDrive]

even on 170 odd he was looking awful against 1-2 deliveries that swung

[PaceAttack]

Classic case of FTB..

[MUMBAISKIPPER]

as long as Chennai's Lungiwala Anna,Srikanth is the chief selector,even ordinary cricketers from Tamil Nadu will make their way into Indian Team...let alone Murali Vijay.....People like Srikanth should be kicked out of cricket world forever...such a biased fellow.....I spit at his face

He just doesnt have the technique to succeed overseas.But atm i would take Vijay over Gambhir or Sehwag for Eng series.Atleast Vijay can score runs in India and is coming with great form and confidence in test cricket

Vijay wipes the slate clean W V Raman Ž· Sep 25, 2012 Ž· If there is one thing that is extremely difficult to fathom in Indian cricket, it is the idiosyncrasies of the selectors at various levels. Can anyone imagine or accept that a ponytail sported by a cricketer could stand between a player and his selection into an under-22 side? Yes, it did a few years ago to one Murali Vijay and that experience has made him shy of even a lengthy wig. He copped this amazing decision and thankfully, he did certain things right (starting off with a normal hairdo) in the next couple of years to force his way into the Tamil Nadu Ranji side. Of course, there was a streak of naivet than indifference in him which did not endear him to many. However, the point is that he was to be gauged as a cricketer and on that score there was no doubt that he could wield a willow and excellently at that. He made big runs in the next couple of seasons without short changing his grace to merit a place in the Indian side. Though he made only a couple of 30ÃÔ on his test debut against Australia at Nagpur, he convinced everyone that he belonged at that level. He followed his mini knocks up with a few substantial scores and just when he was thought off as a possible number three post GangulyÃÔ retirement, he became a victim of the intoxication that a successful IPL season and the aftermath of it provides. The mind and body, which were willing to grind it out for hours became lazy and impatience became the leading component of his batting. The decisive foot work was reduced to just half a step across the crease with one intent only- a slog across the line. His dismissals were brought about more by his mistakes rather than the guile of the bowlers. The failures quickly accumulated and his poor form was ruthlessly exploited by Steyn and Co making the selectors patience wear thin. From being hailed as a solid test batsman for the future, Vijay had allowed his skills and temperament to evaporate from his make-up rather quickly. In as much as his elegance impressed one and all, his repeated poor shot selection eventually forced the selectors to give him the gate. He became a victim of his own desperation in the last couple of seasons which tends to be the case with some guys looking to make a comeback but the harder he tried the worse it got. I had a chat with him during this yearÃÔ Buchi Babu tournament and it was evident that there were too many cobwebs in his mind. The one positive thing was that the willingness to make a comeback was very much there accompanied by uncertainty as well. At the end of a lengthy discussion I asked him a couple of questions to which he gave convincing answers. My question to him on the eve of his first class debut against Delhi in 2006 was Å¢re you ok? His answer was equally short, I am feeling comfortable? but the conviction was unmistakable. As we parted company that evening I could not help but feel that Vijay was going to make this season count. The big double hundred in the Irani trophy is an ideal way to start a critical season, but there is a lot more work left to be done before he either entertains thoughts of a comeback or puts the selectors under pressure. The key will be in not allowing the big double hundred to linger too long in his system. The reason I say this is because he has already paid a heavy price for letting the success of IPL and its methods stay in his memory longer than required. ----------------------------------------------- Remember that Dhawan had scored twin 150s last year in Irani trophy but was a big flop in the coming season and the India A tour. Hence Vijay's this double ton doesn't have much value unless he follows it up with few tons in Duleep trophy and if chosen, for BP XI vs England. Hope he succeeds as we really need openers.

When in the 90's third rate Mumbai players were making the team like Nilesh Kulkarni, Kanitkar, Sairaj Bahutule etc, no one complained. Just because one TN player who has a good domestic record got few games, you are jumping up and down? Murali should not be in the team and isn't cut out for international cricket but calling him a biased selection is stupid to be frank. You are the one with the bias, not Srikkanth.
