Texan Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Who should be the first choice keeper for the first Test in Aus (in Dhoni's absence)? In my opinion, Ojha's spectacular performances v/s Australia A in Australia should mean that he should be picked ahead of Saha. And if he performs well, then might as well keep him for subsequent Tests even after Dhoni recovers :winky:
Cricket_Hacker Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Saha is the better keeper,he should get the nod
tweaker Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Ojha performance in the A tour tilts the balance in his favour.Ojha should be the wk for the 1st test.
Crookbond Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 It should be Naman Ojha for two reasons - (1) He is as good a keeper as Saha and (2) He is a better batsman than Saha. Texan - Ojha can NOT stay after the Brisbane Test as he is ONLY selected for the 1st Test match. He will return to India and it is clarified by Sanjay Patel BCCI secretary.

His Keeping is pretty average.
Crookbond Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Contemporary keeping of Ojha is as good as Saha - it was very good throughout the Duleep Trophy too.
bowl_out Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 A drop catch off Warner or Clarke is going to cost us more than the 40-50 additional runs the keeper scores with the bat... A better keeper anyday over a slightly better batsman, particularly in tests... So, Saha it is for me..
Guest PrancingHorse Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Saha for me .. Ojha did perform well in A tour but the tracks were flat as hell .. this aint be same in our tour

Need good slippers and a good keeper. Saha is a very good keeper.
adi B Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 the most important criteria is, who is the better wktkeeper out of the two?surely saha.he is not a bad batsman as well
adi B Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 It should be Naman Ojha for two reasons - (1) He is as good a keeper as Saha and (2) He is a better batsman than Saha.

Crookbond Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 in which world is ojha as good as saha in wktkeeping?he is very mediocre The world of current form - not some past memories which people have from IPL matches.
adi B Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 The world of current form - not some past memories which people have from IPL matches. do you even watch matches or as usual check the stats.saha is defo better keeper than naman,both in domestic matches,A tours
G_B_ Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Saha for me .. Ojha did perform well in A tour but the tracks were flat as hell .. this aint be same in our tour I am not 100% sure a lot of those pitches are drop in pitches. They tend to be flat as well. I think Australia will make flattish pitches with plenty of bounce.
Crookbond Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 do you even watch matches or as usual check the stats.saha is defo better keeper than naman' date=both in domestic matches,A tours No Sir, only you are the uber epitome of cricket who watches all matches. Mere mortals like us ONLY make comments on stats (I don't know how you can check WK stats). Please pardon me, my Lord.
Pagalpanti Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Catches win matches, Saha's keeping has been impressive in the ODI series. We need reliable pair of hands behind the stumps.
fineleg Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Give them both chances with Wicketkeeping and batting in the warmup matches.
gattaca Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Give them both chances with Wicketkeeping and batting in the warmup matches. getting used to bounce is more important than giving chances to both since we dont many warm ups. the keeper to needs to know where to take catches and stand is more important
