rkt.india Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Ishwar Pandey, Madhya Pradesh: M 8; Wickets 48; Best 6/54; Average 21.06; 5w 5; 10w 1 Reports have emerged that chief selector Sandeep Patil has been quite impressed by this tall seamer and an India call-up won't be too far away. The son of an Army man, Pandey's strengths are his immense stamina and the ability to make the batsmen play at all times. He also has the ability to move the old ball and new. He can use the long handle too as he proved in the thriller against Mumbai at Indore. Sandeep Sharma, Punjab: M 8; Wickets 41; Best 7/25; Average 17.95; 5w 3; 10w 1 One of the stars of India's victorious Under-19 campaign Down Under, this 19-year-old from Patiala is one of the principal reasons why Punjab finished as group toppers. His spell of 7 for 25 in Mohali blew away Saurashtra, who were sans Cheteshwar Pujara. He may not be quick, but he can swing the ball like a banana. Shahbaz Nadeem, Jharkhand: M 8; Wickets 40; Best 6/54; Average 22.45; 5w 2 Indian fans connect with this left-arm-spinner who is also an engineering student thanks largely to his IPL exploits for Delhi Daredevils. But his stellar performances for Jharkhand have ensured that the team progresses to the quarters. His performance against Services in the last game where he took 4/64 to enable them to bowl out Services for 152 'engineered' his side's victory despite conceding a first innings lead of 65 and progress to the quarters. Mohit Sharma, Haryana: M 8; Wickets 37; Best: 5/47; Average 23.24; 5w 3 One of the bright spots in a failed campaign for Haryana. His performance against group-toppers UP at Lucknow where he took 5/47, enabled the Amit Mishra-led side to take a first innings lead. Vikramjeet Malik, Himachal Pradesh: M 8; Wickets 36; Best: 5/36; Average 22.02; 5w 3 A tireless operator at the domestic level, the strapping Himachal lad has stayed away from switching teams over the last 10 years. He's been a honest performer this year too with the highlights being his five-wicket hauls against Jammu and Kashmir, Tripura and Andhra. Few others.

rkt.india Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 Some good news ... He may replace Ishant against England.
diga Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 He may replace Ishant against England. ODI's ?? Is it not the wrong format for this guy?
rkt.india Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 ODI's ?? Is it not the wrong format for this guy? That has been the tradition of selection in India off late.
saneindian Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 That injury perhaps means curtains for Zaheer's career. I hope the selectors don't go back to him for the Australia test series. Pick him for a ODI vs England and give him the farewell he so richly deserves.
saneindian Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Hope to see the top 3 in that list play for India in the next 6-9 months.
rkt.india Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 Late addition of Ajay Yadav the cattle herder with 23 wickets in 4 matches at an average of 10 and SR of 29.2 with 3 fifers and 2 10-fers has solely changed Jharkhand's fortune this season along with Nadeem.
saneindian Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Jharkhand need to show faith in Ajay and give him a bowler friendly track at Jamshedpur. COuld end up surprising Punjab who haven't really done well away from Mohali.

Old guy Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 getting in squad in one thing but even now shami has not gotten a game.... when will we get rid of dinda and ishant?
Shunya Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 we already have given chance to 3 new bowlers...Dinda, Bhuvi, Awana...and Shami in the line... understand ppl are performing good in first class cricket...but there has to be a plan to give a certain time to all of them to perform, instead of just bringing in everyone for couple of matches and eventually ending up with no one...
ksaoman Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 India A Squad These slectors they confounds you really. just look at the squad they have picked to play england. admittedly the pool of available players were restricted to teams knocked out of ranji, yet they have done a disgusting job indeed. 1. Captain cool Abhinav mukund the most overrated batsman in domestic cricket how lucky he is to be selected itself. Alternatives could have been based on performances this season, VA JAGADEESH 8 14 2 871 199* 72.58 HARSH KHADIWALA : 8 13 0 762 168 58.6 SHIKAR DHAWAN / UNMUKT CHAND AKSHATH REDDY : 8 15 3 690 196 57.50 2. M VIJAY _ Lucky to be selected again surely. There seems to be some invisible hand surely behind these selections sure. Alternatives same as above 3. ROBIN BIST / AHSOK MANERIA : When out of form select them that seems to be the motto of our selectors new and old. Both of them are decent enough batsmen but they are sadly in a rut this season and not prodigiously talented to walk into a side on class alone and in the process they have edged out some performing batsman of this season like. MANPREET JUNEJA RAHUL DEWAN YASHPAL SINGH 4. ROHIT MOTWANI : "phew" he is not to be seen even in the top first class averages of this season. Man some body might have to talk to this guy called PARTHIV PATEL otherwise he might go insane. There is just one word to say " PERFORMANCE DOES'NT MATTER" Maybe the selectors might have lined up something big for him. BUT THATS A DAY DREAM as of now. Parthiv must be gutted indeed with this. Same but to a lesser extent the other aggrieved parties would be DINESH roughly treated KARTIK, Naman Ojha, and the eternal keeper in waiting WP SAHA. 5. AKSHAY DAREKAR : Goodness me. this guy is not even in the picture of Maharashtra selection committee and that says it all. Unlucky ones to miss out are : CP SHAHID oF Kerala\ VIKAS MISHRA\ J SYED MUHAMMAD iF PERFORMANCE OF THIS SEASON alone where the criteria these three should have got the nod ahead of Darekar. GOOD SELECTIONS PARVEZ RAZOOL - easily the best off spinner in India PARAS DOGRA : oONE OF THE FINEST BACK FOOT PLAYERS IN DOMESTIC CIRCUIT RISHI DHAWAN : AT LEAST LET US TRY HIM OUT AND SEE AGAISNT QUALITY OPPOSTION MOHIT SHARMA : LIVELY PACER \ ISHWAR PANDEY : YOU ALL KNOW WHY KEDAR JADHAVE : EASILY CUT OUT FOR THE SHORTER VERSION. HAS TO BE ONE OF THE CLEANEST STRIKERS OF A CRICKET BALL IN DOMESTIC CIRCUIT India A squad: Abhinav Mukund (capt), M Vijay, Robin Bist, Kedar Jadhav, Ashok Menaria, Rohit Motwani (wk), Jalaj Saxena, Akshay Darekar, Ishwar Pandey, Sreesanth, Rishi Dhawan, Paras Dogra, Mohit Sharma, Parvez RassoL
Clarke Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 ODI's ?? Is it not the wrong format for this guy? Its not bad at all, unless its an Indore game.
Magneto Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Punjab and Jharkhand would have been a good contest if Dhoni and Aaron could have played for Jharkhand. Would be a decent contest nonetheless.
msb1991 Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I'm curious to see if Sharma can put on the 5kph needed to become a top international bowler. He is the young bowler who has impressed me the most in recent years.
rkt.india Posted January 7, 2013 Author Posted January 7, 2013 Shadab Nazar routs his home state "We don't want star players. We want performers," Wing commander Deepak Bhaskar, the Services manager, had said before the start of their quarter-final against Uttar Pradesh, when asked about the big-name players in the opposition. Performance was what he got from his players on day one. Leading them was fast bowler Shadab Nazar, a corporal in the Air Force, who routed UP for 134 on the way to his third five-for in his debut first-class season. Nazar, 25, ironically hails from UP and played age-group cricket for the state. He was part of the same sports hostel set-up in Lucknow where Suresh Raina and RP Singh come from, before he was recruited by Bhaskar into the Air Force. Today, he showed no mercy to his former state-mates as he bustled in with a run-up full of energy and found generous bounce from the Holkar Stadium pitch to claim 5 for 51. Nazar's been with Services for six years now, but broke into their first-class side only this season, though he played a couple of one-dayers in early 2010. He's already become a potent part of the side's fast-bowling attack, along with Suraj Yadav and Nishan Singh, and has played all their nine games so far in the season to pick up 30 wickets at an average of 23.56. "It doesn't matter how big the batsman's reputation is. In the end, it is all about putting the ball in the right areas," Nazar said. He added more zip to the Services attack as soon as he was introduced first change and dismissed three of the top six UP batsmen. "My approach was to just keep it on a tight length," he said. Nazar felt the pitch had eased out slightly after the morning session in which UP lost seven wickets but it was still not easy for the batsmen. Bhaskar said the deliveries that zipped through had decreased in number but were still enough of a threat. The UP attack has delivered four outright wins in the season and it was quite an achievement for Services to earn a lead of 20 runs by stumps with five wickets in hand. Even more so, considering they had to redo their batting order following the unavailability of the captain Soumik Chatterjee, who hurt his knee while fielding in the deep. Chatterjee was taken for an MRI scan, the results of which were awaited. The seriousness of his injury was evident when, unable to walk, he was carried from the dressing room to the team bus by his team-mates. What part, if any, Chatterjee will be able to play in the remainder of the match was unclear but for a determined Services side, it is just one of the several odds they have to tackle. http://www.espncricinfo.com/ranji-trophy-2012/content/current/story/599968.html
