Indian Limited Overs Back up batsman not good enough

[rkt.india]

Saha is a hack and so is Rayudu. They can score only on flat batting pitches in IPL. I always laugh when people say Saha can replace Dhoni. .

Rubbish. Have you seen Saha bat in Ranji trophy on difficult pitches made for pacers at Eden. He alone carries most of Bengal batting and played several good innings on not so easy pitches.

The problem with Saha was not his ability or lack of ability to bat but his approach, as a WK your are the last batsmen and then there is serious tail. He needed to show more restraint and composure in both innings which he did not, I would not pay much attention to his FC record, we have not seen him make big runs either in duleep trophy or irani trophy.

Well ... Rahane should be a long time investment.....He is class and already shown glimses of his batting in SA and NZ .... He will take some time in ODi set-up but dividents will pay-off once he figure out ODI batting.....(Just like Kohli) And also, he is best indian fielder at any position....
