Binny is Lobbying Singh

Corrected.

Binny is a good powerful batsman .and an intelligent bowler but a trundler hence if he does not manage his bowling he wd be dumped

[Vijy]

Binny is a true bits-and-pieces player. Since Jaddu is doing well as an all-rounder, I don't see any place for Binny in the team, unless he replaces one of the main bowlers. Ideally, we should look for a second all-rounder who is reliable with the ball and can score a quickfire 20-25 with the bat; Jaddu has an avg of 30+ but his SR isn't that high. If only YK had developed his bowling and batting sufficiently, we could have played them both.

that was one ODI,no.didnt play test IIRC as I said can be great in ODIs as for commies,they though Ishant was great selection in SA due to height:cantstop:

Binny at 5 Best case rahane bats at 4 and Rayadu at 5 with both Raina and Binny out

Agree mostly with above. In place of Rayudu, I'd still go with Raina. He averaged 35 in 2013 which isn't too bad, and Rayudu didn't look very convincing in the Zim series. Raina deserves one more overseas series, esp in NZ snce the conditions are somewhat similar to Oz. He is a slightly better fielder than Rayudu and can bowl a bit too, and his overall record isn't too bad. Mind you, I don't advocate his selection forever, but only during this one series to see what he performs like.
