Vivek.S.123 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 If scoring runs in List A cricket were so easy' date=' Rahane & Rohit wouldn't be averaging in 30s. Try to separate the formats and don't fall into Srinivasan/Rajiv Shukla trap of treating all formats the same and picking players for odis & Tests based on IPL's performances.[/quote'] Rayudu to be our new finisher with Raina moving to 5 B->
game_changerr Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 i think raydu needs to be fast track in loi side asap.....with raydu,raina,and msd we will have 3 best finishers and any target can be easily chased down

Ultimate_Game Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 I will say it again it's a mistake to play likes of Rohit & Rahane in odis when they average mid 30s in List A cricket. We have likes of Kedar Jadhav, Pujara and Ishank Jaggi while averaging 50+ in List A cricket. Rahane and Rohit should get a run in Tests as that's the format in which they average 60 or thereabouts but getting them in shorter formats assumes longer format and odis are one and the same which is not true at all. I mean look at Kohli and Dhawan's List A record and you will see a parallel in the odi performances. Same thing is happening with Rohit & Rahane but our selectors are still hell bent on persevering with batsmen who aren't good enough in shorter formats when better odi/List A batsmen are available. If India wants to mount a serious challenge in Aus/NZ WC in 2015 it has to get Pujara at the top of the order to replace Rohit and Kedar Jadhav in at 4 in place of Rahane. Rayudu is not the answer as can be seen with a poor average of mid 30s in List A cricket just like Rohit & Rahane.
Lord Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 but but they do well in IPL which is all that matters
TNAmarkFrmIndia Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 What I fear is they're going to keep persisting with Rohit even after he keeps failing overseas and Dhoni will insist on not replacing him till the end of the World Cup because it will be too late for anyone new to come in.
