Please keep Jadeja away from TEST team!

[Trichromatic]

He has looked very good against pacers recently, and he's already a decent player of spin. If he continues to improve against pace, then he'll do better. I'll be happy if he averages 35-40 with the bat, and if he continues to average 20 with the ball. Only thing is, he should improve his bowling S/R. Keep it to around 50.

You're saying as if that's some minimum criteria while mentioning credentials to become one of the greatest all rounder in history of game. Batting average of 35+ and bowling average in 20s - how many players have managed that?

Jadeja averages 20 with the ball now. If he continues that then he'll end up with one of the best bowling averages. Kallis averages 55 with the bat. Several other all rounders have averaged 35-50 with the bat, but not an average of 20 with the ball. Some have averaged 20-25 with the ball, but 25-30 with the bat. So if Jadeja averages 35-40 with the bat, and 20-25 with the ball, he'll be a great all-rounder. It's only his sixth test. Hopefully, his batting improves,and his batting potential is shown.

Jaddu is the guy for overseas as expected. Sure he might have off test matches. But his round arm action and trajectory suit these surfaces more than the exaggerated flight of Ashwin and slowness of Ojha.

Lol.. even imran and Kapil would hardly meet his criteria :giggle:

Sorry Dhoni and srini. But its time for this bits and pieces csk player to stay away from the test team I know that may upset csk brand profile and not be good finicially for you guys personally but its time for him to be removed, am sure you have made some money from this so don't be too upset. Anyway you can replace him with csk mohit sharma when no doubt you put him in to test team ahead of Yadav or get pandey in who already is in test squad and is csk, thus reap the financial benefits which is what its all about for you guys with regards to the indian team

Conspiracy theory :whack: Jadeja was in the team for the right reasons and have contributed in this series unlike some of our stars (Pujara, Kohli).

Outy must be really busy not to bump this thread :cantstop:

[Forever Indian]

Jadeja must stay out of overseas tests for sure. But he defenetily needs to play as one of the three spinners when playing in India where he can contribute with both bat and ball.

Jadeja has single handedly turned the series around with that dropped catch of Cook:facepalm:

Series was turned when Dhoni announced the team for last Test with Rohit coming in instead of a bowler,signalling hes happy with draw imo. We've been dropping lot of catches,but still going well.So hard to blame catch :giggle:

Ohh, so it's Rohit fault. And it's okay to drop catches. Nice logic there :nice:

[wanted_desi]

I still feel we lost to a below average English team. :( not fair at all.

[Lord]

Ohh' date=' so it's Rohit fault. And it's okay to drop catches. Nice logic there :nice:[/quote'] Its Dhoni's fault not okay to drop catches,but others have dropped too,no?

Who's drop proved the costliest?

Jadeja's but that isnt known at the time.A drop is a drop.You can't use hindsight and crucify just one player whose drop proved costly later

In a way Dhoni too was responsible for that drop - Jadeja's (and Kohli's) rightful place is in the outfield and not the slip cordon.
