Squad for T20Is vs England, 2012 : Dhoni Still Finds a Place In t20 Side and Is Captain .LOL

[gs]

Oh noes -- Andy Roberts replaced by Michael Holding!!

[rkt.india]

Not that this is a monumental loss nor is Balaji Steyn or Morkel but I just don't understand the injuries on our bowlers It just seems like they get injured in between matches- seriously how much does Balaji even play to get injured???

He is playing every FC match. What do you think if he does play international match he does not play any. FC matches are as demanding as tests.

Vinny is a better LOI bower than we think he is...P*** poor -yes...but is he the worst-no way

He is a decent ODI bowler that too with new ball. He is the worst T20 bowlers we have.

Injured Vinay Kumar ruled out of England T20s, replaced by Abhimanyu Mithun!

India's injury problems continue with the seamer Vinay Kumar being ruled out of the Twenty20s against England due to a strained right calf muscle. He has been replaced by fast bowler Abhimanyu Mithun, his Karnataka team-mate. Vinay is the third India player to pull out of the two-match series, starting on Thursday, due to injury. The middle-order batsman Manoj Tiwary was withdrawn due to a side strain, before the seamer L Balaji was ruled unfit due to a stress injury to his right big toe. Vinay, who was brought in as Balaji's replacement, will be out of action for two weeks. Mithun has played four Tests and five ODIs for India, his most recent appearance coming against West Indies in an ODI in Chennai late last year. He has taken eight wickets in four Ranji Trophy matches this season.

[superstar]

This state quota system is stupid. One useless bowler replaced by another in the same state.

[Number]

Mithun is much better than Vinay.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-england-2012/content/current/story/597687.html I was happy to see news....but sad to know that replacement is again Abhimanyu Mithun :( No Pankaj Singh, Shami Ahmed, Sandeep Sharma :(

Malcom Marshall substituted with Andy Roberts!!! ZOMG!!!

[JaFanatic]

[puneet28]

oh...you just posted a bit earlier than me :P

[namasteji1]

Mithun is much better than Vinay.

Better than Shami Ahmed, Sandeep Sharma etc.?

[namasteji1]

If Mithun plays in any of the t20's , i will stop watching that match! :P

[Trundler27]

wth.... i demand that vinay be replaced by aravind (still remember his brilliant performances where he'd go for 80 runs in 4 overs) :protest:

[yoda]

and people can't even blame srikkanth anymore. :hahaha:

[JaFanatic]

and people can't even blame srikkanth anymore. :hahaha:

:agree:

[Sandeep99]

and people can't even blame srikkanth anymore. :hahaha:

so true! :haha:

[Serani]

have to commend India's commitment to recycling

[Old guy]

good selecting shami or any one else for t 20 would have been bad for bowler :p

[namasteji1]

The whole nation needs to be cleaned out, be it politics, cricket or anything else, time for indian public to step up. How can a normal person select Abhimanyu mithun in Indian Team and that too in T20's? This is crazy!!
