Jadeja's value?


Recommended Posts

He is a nag-pot. Like a mother or mother-in-law, he will nag and annoy you to the brink. You are generally speechless against him. And in your frustration, you lose your poise and f*** up against one of the others.

Held down one end in a test match overseas. Allows Dhoni to rotate the seamers. More than what bhaji, Mishra and ashwin have been able to offer abroad... If he can consistently play like this- then definitely worth his place in the side. Lively in the field- always useful in long, gruelling sessions. Just needs to improve his batting

He might be less sh!t than Bhajji and Ashwin, but he's still sh!t. In 4 tests away from home he averages 52 at a strike rate 117. This test doesn't look much better. This test doesn't indicate that he's going to change that any time soon.

Let him find his feet abroad. Now that seamers have seemed to up their game- he'll naturally become more effective as a wicket taking option. Also he has played on pattas for spin bowling abroad- as foreign teams look to make India as uncomfortable as possible. There's still time in this test. Let's see how he goes on day 5.

Happy to wait but I don't see him producing a match-winning spell away from home any time soon. The seamers started well in this innings but we couldn't finish it off. Jadeja struggled to get a tailender in Jimmy Anderson out today. I don't see why we cant try out another young spinner from Indian domestic cricket.

^ Agreed. No need for bits and pieces players in Test cricket. Tests are where the specialists shine. Simple tried and tested formula for selecting your best test side. * Pick your 6 best batsmen (one of whom can bowl a little bit) * Pick your best wicket keeper batsmen * Pick your 4 best bowlers Ideally it would be great to have a Kallis/Flintoff in the team, but remember that Kallis was one of South Africa's best batsmen first and Flintoff was one of England's best bowlers. Jadeja is neither.

I guess everyone has forgot Jadejas performance in the 4-0 drubbing of australia?
that was at home on tailor made pitches where he is a certainty.
