SLICKR392 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 If Jaffer is picked ahead of Gambo, it will epic :cantstop: Jaffer lost his spot to Gambo and now he is back to take his spot. Link to comment
Pagalpanti Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 People wanted Laxman out so that Jaffer could come back? Just because he's scored more in this Ranji season doesn't mean he'll do it in tests, he has been a proven failure in tests, glaring technical faults, no doubts about his grit and patience but only those 2 cant justify his re-entry to Indian side.

youngindia Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 atleast 4/5 players from TN shud be in the squad. Link to comment
PBN Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Our selectors have an uncanny ability to judge Test credentials based on T20s & odi performances. Selection policy involving Rahane' date=' Rohit, Awana, Murali Vijay and to an extent Sudeep Tyagi are a proof of the same.[b'] Looks like if someone has to get into the Indian Test team, he needs to score a 100 in IPL. I see what you're trying to say but come on, that's a lot of exaggeration don't you think. If that was the case, then Rahane already has a 100 in IPL if I am not mistaken .:giggle: Valthaty, Yusuf Pathan, and Manish Pandey all have centuries but they're nowhere near any national Indian team let alone the Test team. :haha: Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 India ponder change in Test opening India's selectors could have finally run out of patience with the established Test opening combination. ESPNcricinfo understands* that at least two selectors want Wasim Jaffer in the squad for the Australia Tests, "most probably" replacing Gautam Gambhir. The Sandeep Patil-headed selection panel will meet on Sunday to pick the squad for, most probably, the first two Tests against Australia. The panel is likely to retain most of the other batsmen who featured in the 15 for the Nagpur Test against England but the faltering openers will be under the scanner. http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-australia-2013/content/current/story/604287.html Link to comment

Cevno Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Likely squad: MS Dhoni (capt & wk), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir/ Wasim Jaffer, M Vijay, Cheteshwar Pujara, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja/ Suresh Raina/ Rohit Sharma, R Ashwin, Pragyan Ojha, Harbhajan Singh/ Piyush Chawla, Ishant Sharma, Sreesanth/ Shami Ahmed, Ishwar Pandey/ Bhuvneshwar Kumar. This is according to cricinfo. Harbhajan,Chawla, Sreesanth, Vijay and Raina need removing. Link to comment
Straight Drive Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 One or two amongst Shikhar Dhawan, Wasim Jaffer might get in the squad. Murali was in the squad versus England. Lets see if selectors drop one of Gauti-Sehwag. Link to comment

Cevno Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Squad for Nagpur Test: Mahendra Singh Dhoni ©, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Piyush Chawla, Ishant Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Ashok Dinda, M Vijay, Parvinder Awana. So taking squad for Final test as starting point, i would drop - Sehwag for poor form Gambhir for poor form Chawla for being **** and undeserved selection anyway. Dinda for same reason as Chawla. Ishant for being poor for a while and not still knowing how to get test wickets. Vijay for same as Dinda and Chawla (though less ****). Sachin won't be dropped and Dhoni won't either probably as he seems likely to remain as Captain with only other option being Kohli. So Changes for me keeping that in mind would look like - Abhinav Mukund (in for Virendra Sehwag) Unmukt Chand/Jiwanjot Singh (In for Vijay) Wasim Jaffer (In for Gautam Gambhir) Umesh Yadav for Chawla (If not fit then Sidarth Kaul/Ishwar Pandey/Bhuvneshwar/Mohit/Warrier comes in) Pankaj Singh for Dinda Shami Ahmed for Ishant Which makes the 14 man squad look something like this - Mahendra Singh Dhoni ©, Abhinav Mukund, Jiwanjot/Unmukt, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Umesh Yadav, Shami Ahmed, Ajinkya Rahane, Pankaj Singh, Wasim Jaffer, Rohit Sharma Awana unlucky to be cut for squad balance's sake, but he was lucky to get the call up in front of other options anyway. Also, i'd personally remove Dhoni from the Captaincy and make Kohli captain but that seems unlikely, so he stays in the team. Otherwise if he is to be dropped then Saha or Gautam come in. Edit - Ashwin should be in the last chance saloon after the first test too with Rasool/Nadeem/Ladda being potential replacements. And Jadeja should not play as a all rounder at 6/7. Just to recap my picks, before selection. Link to comment
Lord Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 have a feeling Sehwag will be dropped.I think Gauti should go Link to comment

Needforspeed Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Mods pls delete this thread...sorry didnt see the other thread Link to comment
virufan Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Not impressed with Rahane's technique at all. Even Gavaskar said that he had problems with his footwork during the ODIs against England. He did not do well in India A tour against WI and his Ranji and Irani Trophy exploits should not be taken as criteria for selection. Link to comment
