Australia tour squad selection today

[tweaker]

Naman Ojha should have been automatic 2 choice wk after his performance with the A team

[Cricketics]

WTF. Database error already on site as soon as people heard Dhoni isn't available for first test. :)

[HIC_NAA]

Saha is better keeper' date='and as far as batting overseas goes,cant be much worse than Dhoni(though he did well in England)[/quote'] Just cant agree that Saha will have an average of 38 after 30 tests. He is the typical indian wicketkeeper i.e. good keeping skills but average international batsmen one who would be great in domestics. Regarding Ojha, we all have seen how flat foot he is and how he struggled against Short bows.

namans performance in the a tour seals it for me

[vishalvirsingh]

Vijay Dhawan Pujara Kohli Rahane Rohit Dhoni Ashwin/Karn/BK Aaron Ishant Umesh

My Eleven would include Bhuvi/ISHANT umesh Varun Shammi as Bowlers( NO Spinners as I dont expect Australia to do any favour to India and Roll SPin friendly tracks ) INdia Should follow what Australia does- if australia plays a 4 pronged Pace ATTACK then INDIA Should also play a 4 pronged pace ATTACK as if INDIA play 4 bowlers and ONE of them is a Spinner who is Just a defensive bowler and is beeing taken around for runs , pressure goes away. Evne a ashwin or jedeja or a Akshar Patel will be opportunity to be scored off... if a jaddu or ashwin is an easy scoring opportunity then even Patel wud also be the Same..the Track may be laid down keeping in view of genuine fast bowlers to Suceed then australia will pack there eleven with 4 fast bowlers and same is what INDIA Should do. NO point playing one Jaddu or Ashwin or even Patel.

That average is mainly due to performances in SC.I'm not saying Saha is as good as Dhoni in SC.Dhoni is almost as good as specialist batsman in SC.but overseas its different

How was Rahul performance in Australia with the A team

Overseas also Dhoni isnt that bad for wicketkeeper. And if Saha wouldnt be same in SC and on par with DHoni away, how can u say he would be better option than MSD.

Saha by far a better keeper than Dhoni. Was there to see in the last Aus tour. Not quiet sure about the batting, since Dhoni had a good run in England, looks in good touch.

He'd be better than Dhoni overseas,especially in keeping.Will take catches that Dhoni won't even go for. Might not be that good at home in batting,but our specialist batsmen do most of the work there anyway,keeper batsman is rarely needed in big way

i assume virat is captain?

Saha by fat a better keeper than Dhoni. Was there to see in the last Aus tour. Not quiet sure about the batting' date=' since Dhoni had a good run in England, looks in good touch.[/quote'] I know Bengali people eat lot of sweets but he is not that fat imo ...:nervous:

:(( wanted Chepu,he was made captain of A tour squads regularly as he was being groomed to captain,dunno what happened now? Even Rahane could have been better.Kohli has batting issues to sort out first.

look a guy who cant type one sentence properly making fun of others:finger:

[youngindia]

hmm do we really throw in somebody on such a difficult tour that too at the top? .

I would not recommend a debut even at home vs aus and sa for u25 youngsters.aus/sa should ideally be the last place for touring. for aus/ sa, only seasoned experienced players should go and even they will find it tough its pointless. only tendulkar and kohli have survived unscathed from such tours. but if they want to waste a space , there is nothing we can do. a test debut has to be against a moderate attack.

Rahane as captain? Saala poora team ko puja karwayega before going in. Even Pujara has to sort his batting. Checking out Kohli's captiancy in the ODIs, don't mind him leading us.
