Should Zaheer khan retire after this tour?

[Austin 3:!6]

Zaheer is the only player from senior lot whom Dhoni like. So he is not going anywhere. If it was Bhajji, Sehwag, Gauti they would have never made a comeback.

Europe ghoom liya abhi Amreeka bhej do Worldcup ke pehle :phehehe:

[vvvslaxman]

zaheer will be there as mentor for a while. may be 1 or 2 series more? that's it.

[vijay50]

I thought Dhoni like Bhajji also. They have some joint venture in construction business.

Zaheer should retire or not selected for the next tour , that's it retire, he has lost zip of the wicket, 5 k or more pace, lost a bit of control, he should make way for some one else, if the selectors are pragmatic he would not be picked up, he is not a spring chicken like Harris and there is no comebacks as the writing is on the wall, except for the first spell in his first test he looked insipid.

[cricketman]

He did not grind it out all summer plus play all that Ranji trophy for nothing. Zak is in it for the long haul

[Zanjeer]

Just saw his first two overs...absolutely nothing to offer..lol

[saneindian]

Innocuous bowling so far, no reverse either. A wicket would be a nice boost though

[Number]

Looks like he is injured. Feeling his hamstring.

[King Tendulkar]

1st test was great particularly 1st innings But yes seems to have staimna issues and more games and more overs the more innocous he becomes Maybe should be in squad as great reserve. Great to come in for injury or want 4 seamers. But back to back tests like this his body cant do it

[shortbread]

He looks tired!! Doesnt look like he can survive back to back tests!!

Even first innings he was effective only third day when he picked up Faf, Philander, Morkel, etc.

If he is in the squad, he will play.

[King Tendulkar]

If he is in the squad' date=' he will play.[/quote'] Why? Is that a rule?

Why? Is that a rule?

that is what mostly happens in Indian team. Have you ever seen a senior sitting out even if he is not performing?

Why? Is that a rule?

I have never seen a senior cricketer dropped from the Indian team if in the group of 16. Something to do with our culture ,maybe , of respecting elders. Not all decisions are strictly professional.

Zak will take 1 or 2 wickets soon

[saneindian]

Looking like the weakest link right now. A wicket from him though will lift the whole bowling unit
