Saha vs MSD - keeper-bat in Tests

[fineleg]

This is a 5 test series. Cannot have MSD mess up Test after Test in the series... Who should be the Test keeper for India? Poll added. Maybe batting wise, Saha is a bunny on away tours also? Dont know, but time to find out by giving him (or another person) a decent run?

expected this thread lol

Here we go again :phehehe:

Maybe batting wise, Saha is a bunny on away tours also? Dont know, but time to find out by giving him (or another person) a decent run? Keeping wise he is prolly fine. MSD batting on away tours is a known and predictable like how Yuvi or Raina will do on away tours (Tests). Actually sitting ducks Yuvi and Raina will do better (just batting ofcourse) than even MSD.

Sure, lets give him another run,who do we need to talk to about this?

who will captain ?? kohli :phehehe:

[Lord]

who will captain ?? kohli :phehehe:

even Ishant cant be worse than Dhoni.Pujara would be my bet

Sure' date=' lets give him another run,who do we need to talk to about this?[/quote'] I know we are powerless. And we can't directly do anything to change the squad. velu - captaincy - no great choices, but- CP or VK - despite their runs dried up.

With the way Dhoni goes about his decisions (from the gut) - a coin to toss can't be too bad,

This innings proves Saha>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Dhoni overseas Can Dhoni score when no one else can? Saha can. http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/630770.html

I like Naman's batting but Saha seems a better keeper

in Tests: Saha >> MSD (in keeping) Saha atleast = MSD (in batting) since MSD is a walking-wicket. Saha prolly better in defense (batting) than MSD Get N.Ojha as a bat only (reserve keeper) first in ODIs and play N.Ojha in all A-tour 3/4 day matches. In future - it can be WS vs NO for Tests.

in india , untested players are alwasy better than the established ones :giggle:

velu, I dont hype players like some do at ICF. I said Saha is a better keeper which is a fact. As batsman, I am saying he is equal to MSD, prolly defense is better.

[Lord]

overseas Saha,in SC Dhoni :woot:

apologies .. :icflove: dhoni has nothing else to achieve as a captain .. probably he will retire frm tests in 2015 ... guess he was forced to captain the test team

[undisputed chap]

Some dhobi fans are worse then sachinstas. Hypocrites much :facepalm:

[ThePhenomenal1]

dhoni cant step up to the occasion. he is a coward. cant face swing. every batsman has a weakness but he cowers down. sick of his sh*t captaincy and sh*t batting and sh*t selection.

[Austin 3:!6]

People over reacting here as usual. How is Saha better than Dhoni? A batsman who has double century in test cricket, 5th highest run getter amongst all wk batsman ever. Didn't dhoni just scored a glorious 80+ in 1st test?? C'mmon guys don't be so biased. He needs to be expelled from captaincy though.

[SLICKR392]

Ojha doesn't look Test material as well. Saha is the ideal one for now at least. Like I said earlier, he might be not extra talented but is ultimately a Test player, which Dhoni isn't. He will be able t apply himself better with the experience. Saha all the way for now!
