Please keep Jadeja away from TEST team!

[The Outsider]

Can't get over this - Jaddu picked up 5 wickets. I got to watch the highlights or the replay of the match. This might be ICF and cricinfo pulling an April Fool a week too early.

[Crookbond]

nothing against him really..enjoyed every bit of his success :) but still dont think he is long term solution:beee:

Expectation Management really - he can be a good supporting spinner.

I'd add another bit of info.he didnt need fielders for that.all were bowled or lbw.if fielders took the catches,maybe he could have got 6-7:--D

[trundlerNO1]

L'Etranger got pawned badly Very badly

:agree: he batted well in this game too.is a good option for home surely

[Laaloo]

Jadeja has become a pretty accurate darter now :agree: No short balls, no loose deliveries. Every ball was spot on today

at home.. yes but knowing dhoni he will play even away from home at number 6 this is where it stops being good and becomes a disadvantage .. oh well leave it lets enjoy this moment,next test is far far away:cantstop:

he bowls some slow ones too,though not that slow.the wicketball of MJ had decent flight on it

no Dhoni'll play at 7 there with a batsman in.Jaddu would be in squad but Ashwin will play

I am absolutely talking about home. Now, lets talk about abroad. First - he's not at No.6 but No.7, so that's a correction. Shane Warne today in post-match analysis said that India should always play 2 spinners because it suits their style. We have 3 fast bowlers plus 1 spinner for sure - the Jadeja spot is a bit of an open question. You can either play an extra batsman OR play an seam bowling all rounder. Ideally I would prefer someone like an Irfan Pathan to play at that No.7 position (given if he's in form). But, if the bowling work load is too much for 4 bowlers and they aren't fresh for the next new ball I would rather prefer an accurate bowler like Jadeja to play at No. 7 so that he can keep our best bowlers like Yadav, B Kumar etc. "fresh". You don't expect Jadeja to pick up wickets abroad just like you don't expect fast bowlers to wreak havoc in India.

vo toh theek hai.. but who will bat? dhoni away is sitting duck most of time expect 5 proper batsmen to do job is wrong.. specially when none of them have toured away from home for more then 3-4 matches!:cantstop: we need a proper batsman at 6 and dhoni at 7 .. all rounder will be perfect but we dont have any..with great batting line up of past this could have worked but right now a proper number 6 is necessity to survive.. with tail starting at number 6 away it will be very fragile batting line up..

So, basically what we are saying here is that Jadeja will get to play his career on turning home pitches where he also has some chance to contribute with the bat and the reserve batsman will get to play his career in South Africa, Australia, England, and New Zealand. Sounds like the perfect deal.

[Precambrian]

Jaddu picked up a 5 wicket haul! :omg: He is just setting things up nicely for the series in South Africa and England next year.

Only till Sir Jad fine tunes his batting.

Not just in India.But also in countries like Pak(UAE) , WI , Ban and Srl where conditions suit him and Dhoni.

whats wrong with that?the team should come first

Look u can moan all u want but no one scores 2 triple centuries without talent.He may not become a great batsmen but with time and patience he is more than good enough to bat at 6/7 in flat and spin friendly wkts. As for unfair , is it also unfair we play 2 seamers at home and 3 away?
