Hallelujah - Struggling Pujara gets BCCI nod to play county cricket

[StriKe]

what i dont get is How long is pujara going to be playing county cricket for? the champions league t20 starts on 13th september. Pujara is part of the kings 11. So 1-2 games he is going to play?

Pujara is water boy for kxip.. county team should keep him for all matches

[Straight Drive]

And that darter harbhajan singh also should play county cricket instead of dancing in reality shows and eating chicken korma.

Harby played in county last year. Struggled to pick decent number of wickets and had a flop season there.

forget batting....kohlli needs to learn catching:mad:

kohli is practising with different ball , so lost the timing :--D

[Straight Drive]

Which are the best counties atm. :hmmm:

Warwickshire has a strong team. Varun,Trott, Bell, Woakes , Rikki Clarke,Jeetan Patel. Somerset too but they play on the road at Taunton. Both are Division A teams.

[Straight Drive]

More than half of the county season is done. Still should look to play the remaining matches and look for a renewed contract with the same county.

Really? What were his stats?

I'm sure the Indian community of Leicester will attend in their thousands to 'support' Pujara after a wonderful Test series. Or he could face a bit of a backlash Seriously though this just sounds like an afterthought from the BCCI so they can respond to criticism by saying look we've now allowed one of our poorest performing players in the Tests to stay behind and play county cricket. No doubt next year they'll be back to square one

Leicestershire are at the bottom of division 2 a truly terrible side. Aim for division 1 sides if at all.

Than that's perfect for Pujara. He's been terrible as well.

sad case pujara, talks up himself as a test match specialists, yet fail to deliver when needed.

when did he talk himself up ? and when he delivered other times was it not needed ?:wall:

[The Realist]

Cosmetic window dressing. There's only a few weeks of the county season left so even if Pujara does get picked up he will play a handful of games at best.

for who really ? according to you guys bbci does not cares,media does not cares,fans do not care ...why even pretend if it does not matter ?

[The Realist]

Wonder if they could pay a county team to keep Pokeham Gambhir.

He has been pretty vocal about wanting to be in the ODI side actually.

[Precambrian]

Wow.. playing for Leicestershire.. that's quite a promotion!

And KXIP will need this water boy. Good for him also bringing water after throwing water on our hopes

2 points fopr Chepu. Join the county for good experience. never ever dream of getting into any limited overs game. Play only in Test matches.

Just checked to find that he took 13 wickets in 5 matches (7 innings) playing for Essex in 2012.
