King Tendulkar Posted December 14, 2012 Author Posted December 14, 2012 the series is going to start in Feb 2013 so it would be incredibly stupid to even think about naming a team right now... Well am sure selctors wont pick the team now:cantstop: But for the purposes of an interent indian cricket message board, thought it would be fun and ok to do:((
Sachin=GOD Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 Well am sure selctors wont pick the team now:cantstop: But for the purposes of an interent indian cricket message board' date= thought it would be fun and ok to do:(( How can you be so sure - who knows, Srini can just tell them to give the entire squad another chance :cantstop: My point was that we all know how Indian cricket works - many people here are expecting MSD, Sehwag, Gambhr, Yuvraj, Bhaji etc to be dropped but in all probability not more than 1 or 2 would actually go so I thought there was not much point in discussing this right now :icflove:
King Tendulkar Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 Since OP was done. Lots has changed. Like the odi , we need to plan for ahead. We need to get a team ready to be good for 2014 1 Gambhir- Has 2 more tests, averaged 40 v england so not that bad. 2 Mukund- Gritty opener, one to invest in 3 Pujara 4 Kohli - capt 5 Rahane - more suited to middle order 6 Sharma - dont be fooled by odi struggles, is test batsman 7 Saha 8 Ashwin- gets in on batting , all rounder 9 Ahmed - Been superb in odis, real find 10 Yadav 11 Oijha
King Tendulkar Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 No thoughts on test team? Interested what people think. Loads of new candites for a spot now
Lord Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 if Gambhir gets in,why not Sehwag?scored a ton in Ahmedabad,looks much more settled at the crease,although throws it away
King Tendulkar Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 if Gambhir gets in' date='why not Sehwag?scored a ton in Ahmedabad,looks much more settled at the crease,although throws it away[/quote'] sehwag attitude stinks now, really annoyed me in odis. Fat, lazy and does not try in field. Gambhir is still working his socks of and is good in field.
Lord Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 sehwag attitude stinks now, really annoyed me in odis. Fat, lazy and does not try in field. Gambhir is still working his socks of and is good in field. Sehwag was always like that.not like he worked hard earlier.we have to take it with a pinch of salt. Gambhir has technical issues,has mastered the poke now,really embarassing watching him bat,knowing his dismissal is inevitable Veeru is a decent offie too n has a fifer against Aus.
King Tendulkar Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 I woould like to see an 11 for aus that will be good for 2014 and with players who can play both home and away. We need to start planning and building a team and not look so short term
Lord Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 ^ So what would be your 11? Sehwag instead of GG,Rahane to open n King Tendulkar at 4(last series)
King Tendulkar Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 Sehwag instead of GG' date='Rahane to open n King Tendulkar at 4(last series)[/quote'] and bowlers? Keeper?
King Tendulkar Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 Sehwag instead of GG' date='Rahane to open n King Tendulkar at 4(last series)[/quote'] Just list your 11 in batting oder for fecks sake:giggle:
Lord Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 and bowlers? Keeper? same as yours Sehwag Rahane Pujara Kohli SRT Rohit Saha Ashwin Shami/BK Yadav Ojha
King Tendulkar Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 I was tempted to give sehwag last go in middle order. But he annoyed me so much in odis. So fat and slow, Cant field and his eyes are gone. He is only going to get worse and worse with his age. He will be walking wicket overseas but may do good at home, which is not good enough for me. We need to plan ahead and give a young talent a run

We need to plan ahead and give a young talent a run Sehwag was always a bit of a FTB,he still scores on pattas like Ahmedabad. agree he needs to move in MO overseas,but atm,hes okay as an opener.I'm hoping Jiwanjot or somebody else shines on A tour n takes openers spot wen we tour SA
cricketman Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 90% this will be the team - Gambhir Rahane Pujara Tendulkar Kohli Yuvraj Dhoni Ashwin Ishant Ojha Zaheer I would pick: Gambhir Rahane Pujara Tendulkar Kohli Tiwary MSD Ashwin BK/Shami Umesh Ojha
trundlerNO1 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Jadeja is a must in the team at 6, he looks got the talent to play in test cricket.
ShebbySB Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 My pick:- Sehwag Jiwanjit Pujara Sachin Kohli Rahane Dhoni Ashwin Ojha Shami Umesh Reserves:-Mukund,Rohit,Jadeja(back-up spinner),Bhuvaneshwar Kumar. Gambhir,Zaheer,Ishant & Harbhajan should be dropped.Sehwag should also be dropped if he fails in the 1st two tests.Then Vijay can come in as a back-up opener.
Old guy Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Jiwanjot would be toast if he plays time to give dhawan a go ?:cantstop:
