Should praveen kumar be picked for South africa?

[FischerTal]

He has a good average in test cricket, albeit it is only 6 matches. he was by far our best bowler in england, where swing suited him. south africa could suit his outswingers, which are miles better than Bhuvi, who relies on mostly inswing and movement off pitch. im not saying bhuvi is bad. since the next two years of test cricket is overseas, should he be given chance again? his outswinger is amazing and with saffas having 7 right handed batsmen, it could be very helpful. your thoughts?

Needs to get fitter. Doesn't look fit enough to bowl 20 overs right now

[Gunner]

He should be in the squad and must play in case Bhuvnesh gets injured.

wats wrong with attitude,,,,l all the ipl matches he played this season,his attiitude is fine and all the stories regarding his hot tamper seems to be exaggereted

[FischerTal]

wats wrong with attitude' date=',,,till all the ipl matches he played this season,his attiitude is fine[/quote'] i remember some official saying he needs to go to therapist when he was playing domestic games

tas wat i added to my previous post,,,it can be pure media masala

[FischerTal]

tas wat i added to my previous post' date=',,it can be pure media masala[/quote'] i think he is a great bowler. even at his pace, with the pitches being prepared these days in south africa, he would be deadly

[Sidhoni]

Maybe as a backup

[The Realist]

Back up at best. At his pace when the ball stops swinging then he is cannon fodder. Even if picked is not a frontline bowler but first change option.

Was far and away the best seamer in England in 2011. I like his attitude- bowls with aggression and hits the deck hard although he was carrying too much blubber. Needs to get down the gym more, might even put on a bit more pace if he was fitter.

[prinzo]

Shami and Buvi is the best Indian medium pacers at the moment, that 2 should be leading the attack, and bring a young raw youngster with great potential for future experience, or give someone else in the Indian domestic league a chance who is performing well?

[Junyfan]

yup,experienced praveen should make it.

[carnish]

PK should be kept away from South Africa but can be a definite prospect for the Kiwi tour that will follow as there conditions would favour swing a little bit more.

[I6MTW]

He can if he pays for his own ticket and visa from his own pocket.

[maniac]

the guy is un-fit,out of shape with a bad attitude,pathetic fielder and no ability to hang around as a tailender.Has no pace whatsoever He is decent with the new ball and that's about it...Negatives far out weigh the positives ...so the answer is NO

[Number]

Nooòoooooooo !!!!!!!!

[Yoda-esque]

No-Bhuvi,Umesh and dare I say it,Sree

[maniac]

No-Bhuvi' date='Umesh and [b']dare I say it,Sree

:agree: but you have just made 2 enemies in MSB1991 and Fontaine(if he is still around)

[Sidhoni]

No-Bhuvi' date='Umesh and dare I say it,Sree[/quote'] No Zak? I know he is old and unfit and all, but he is still our best pace bowler. he can give th CT a miss to regain his fitness, because we will really need his experience there.
