rockygonzo Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Has Robin Uthappa played any test match ever before
undisputed chap Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Rayudu or tiwary (if fit & in form ) will do better imo. They can stay at the crease & can be difficult to dislodge whereas nohit will be a walking wicket. Remember why he ran away from opening for MI was clueless vs swinging ball in sc imagine him vs anderson in eng.
fineleg Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 ^ Rayudu or Tiwary for Test opener in England!?? Really?
undisputed chap Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 ^ Rayudu or Tiwary for Test opener in England!?? Really? Arre I meant in nohits spot in tests in context of nohits spot in test team.
Chandan Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Uthappa finished with a whopping average of 89 during Karnataka’s historic season and the insightful adjustments in play should have been rewarded. During the time' date=' openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan were going through a torrid run first in New Zealand and then in the Asia Cup...[/quote'] Exactly. Seems like no one is interested in doing a little bit of research regarding Uthappa, including Cricinfo. Or all of them are seeing some different stats? He even won CEAT domestic player of the year award on that abysmal Ranji performance. WHY?
Cricket_Hacker Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Uthappa had a terrific Vijay Hazre trophy,and an average Ranji trophy
Chandan Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Uthappa had a terrific Vijay Hazre trophy' date='and an average Ranji trophy[/quote'] But for domestic player of the year award, you need to have terrific performance in FC cricket that year, or so the norm was. Don't know if 50 overs and 20 overs have started getting more value now because Uthappa's FC season was not even average, it was abysmal. He was not even among top 50 run scorers in Ranji.
skindia Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Robin played only 5 ranji and how ppl expect him among top 10 in ranji trophy
skindia Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Avg of 89,they must have included triple hundred against jharkhand:-Danyway he averaged 46 in ranji and most knocks on green tracks,hundred at mohali when team was at 15/3
skindia Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Ppl also forgetting vijay averaged 17 in ranji when picked against australia
Chandan Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Robin played only 5 ranji and how ppl expect him among top 10 in ranji trophy Forget about top 10, he's not even in top 50. And why did he play just 5 matches when Karnataka went till final and won? Was he unfit? Another drawback?
Cricket_Hacker Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Forget about top 10' date=' he's not even in top 50. And why did he play just 5 matches when Karnataka went till final and won? Was he unfit? Another drawback?[/quote'] Yes he had an injury
aditya4all Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Robin Uthappa is more valuable than Glen Maxwell! Right? The issue has been debated by well know Cricket experts like Harsha Bhogle and Dean Jones. There is no doubt Glenn Maxwell is the most disastrous player in the world of T20, yet Robin Uthappa took the value as he had become more consistent compared to Maxwell. But when looking at the records of both players, Glenn Maxwell has played more match winning innings than Robin Uthappa. But as a rule, Cricket enthusiasts and Analysts praise players in the heat, when the everything becomes cool and the player misses to play big shots in 3 or more games, even a great player will become amateur infront of the eyes. Watch the video of Dean Jones talking about the debate on who is valuer Maxwell or Uthappa? http://sh.st/eKBbP
shortbread Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I am not a big Uthappa fan. But the man has transformed himself lately. His range of shots, weight loss, improved fitness........all the without the media drama of the likes of Gambhir, Yuvraj, Zaheer. Should be a lesson for 1st class cricketers on how to improve oneself.

The Realist Posted June 11, 2014 Author Posted June 11, 2014 Weight is a chronic issue with him. Weight is a chronic issue for most Ind cricketers. The belly size of the likes of Khan, Singh etc has been embarrassing.
