Brainfade Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 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.
Old guy Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Haha...I will translate for Leo ,he is keeping it tight :p
singhprakash72 Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Good work Dhoni..add few more bits & pieces player for next test match besides Jadeja and Binny
mancalledsting Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 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
bharat297 Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 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.

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.
moniker Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Bhuvi was almost as economical as Jadeja and also picked up 4 wickets.
div Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Harmeet Singh is good..he is not even part of Indian A team.

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.
The Realist Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Useless bits & pieces player. Nowhere near enough quality to be either a test level batsman or bowler. Only gets to play as is part of Dhoni's harem.
bharat297 Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 ^ 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.
GautiMaan Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Jadeja would'nt have been playing if Ashwin had done any better in his overseas tours. I dont which other spinner we have to replace him
mancalledsting Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 I guess everyone has forgot Jadejas performance in the 4-0 drubbing of australia?
rkt.india Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 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.
