King Tendulkar Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Alright dude. I may be wrong. I was just 9 year old then. Age is no excuse:--D Link to comment
Number Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 A Test all rounder should be one who can make into the XI purely as a specialist in either batting or bowling. Binny doesn't fit the bill irrespective of what he does in this series/match. Link to comment
adi B Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Ausralia dominated world cricket with 6 batsman and 4 bowlers Same with windies. If 4 bowlers are not good enough, chucking in a part time bowler like binny to make 5 wont make any difference. Strategy to win, which is how we got to number 1 is bat and pile on big totals with 6 front line batters. This will create runs to play with and score board pressure for the 4 bowlers to chip away and get the wickets. Make them bat on day 4 or 5 picth with our runs on boars and hopefully spinner can do the job. You need 6 batters. You forget laxman at 6 and how many times he saves us and piled on the runs. Just imagine if in that period we had binny at 6 instead of laxman:hysterical: yaar try and understand.things have changed a lot in the last 10years,players play more matches in a calender year especially with these t20 leagues going around the world and more and more meaningless odis.its imperative to play with 5 bowlers in tests especially long series and to manage the workload of the frontline pacers, teams have understood this. india have done jack going with 4 bowlers and especially with 'thakele',overage pacers in the last 4-5 away tours.its time we play more positively and with 5 bowlers.we need to be more bowler sensitive in this era Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Look you plonkers wake up. It does not matter what your tactics are, theories are, team composition are etc etc Fact is this. Binny is rubbish and not good enough for test cricket! Pants bowler, pants batsman! Link to comment

King Tendulkar Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Ok KT, its very rare you make a non hate fuelled rational statement so let us discuss. We need an allrounder, desperately. We need the 5th bowler but we need the rear guard action when going in with 5 main batsmen, as you mentioned relying on only 5 is risky. In essence what we need is an allrounder. A seaming all rounder is essential when we tour Eng, Aus and the WC in Aus!! Ideally this should have been Pathan but.......:(( I fully agree Binny is a sifarshi player. Had he not been father Binny's offspring then he would not have made it into FC cricket as well!! But the requirement is definitely there. If Binny succeeds then its great, thats the only reason Im routing for him. The only seam bowling all rounder in a country of a BILLION!! Well if so desperate for all rounder( I disagree as need 6 proper batsman). Play ashwin as spinner all rounder(at least can get in team on bowling alone). Then pick 4 proper seamers. Or play Jadeja as that. Why does everyone want the truly rubbish binny is beyond me. If people want 5 bowlers, then why are they including binny as one of 5 bowlers!!! Link to comment

rkt.india Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I was fumed why Ashwin did bowl a lot in warmups. Most pitches this season are dry Lords, Old trafford, Oval, even Trentbrdige looking dry. Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Dhoni will troll everyone by playing Binny. He will troll Roger Binny by not giving Stuart Binny even single over lol Link to comment
shortbread Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Imagine after all this argument, Binny was never part of the playing 11 in the first place!! Link to comment

Atleast if he's exposed the team will be rid of him. Well if that's the attitude, play me. I fancy a game. I can bowl a bit, bat a bit, according to ICF that makes me the seaming all rounder we crave. I mean, I agree cant get in to team on bowling or batting alone but we need the all rounder, so I am the man Link to comment

Not on selection committee' date=' then your not in[/quote'] i read on cricinfo that then Binny Jr. was being disscussed,Binny Sr. walked out of the room. Binny Jr. was picked by the brain dead selectors even without the influence of his dad.It's scary to think that they think this way Link to comment
