dhruvdeepak Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Re: Our U19's thump NZ i think it is sort of cheating for a player with a Test cap and 2 years of FC cricket experience to go back a level and play for U19s. Link to comment
gator Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Re: Our U19's thump NZ why is Yo Mahesh not playing.... Was he not ahead of Nechim in the pecking order? Link to comment
yoda Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Re: Our U19's thump NZ Happy to see Chawla performing well. He needs all the experience he can get before playing for India Seniors. Link to comment
gator Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Re: Our U19's thump NZ i, for one, will not be convinced until Chawla picks wickets by the buckets in ranji..... he always pick 2-3 per innings with his googlies.... but for an indian spinner to get a berth, he needs to get a lot more 5'ferr and 10fers.... tht will show, tht he has learnt to spin the ball...
