[zubinpepsi]

wth.. why kulkarni... another pathetic trundler.. aha.. dhobi will be captaining the rest of the series.. no wonder.. he loves his trundler brigade..

[The Realist]

Kulkarni is barely half decent in ODIs. In tests = :facepalm: Then again it could have been another Koomar in Vinay or Achoke Dinda on the plane so small mercies.

[The Realist]

Looks like Kumar will stay on in Aus: Dhawal Kulkarni has been asked to join India's Test squad in Australia as back-up for the injured Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Bhuvneshwar has been nursing an ankle injury and was initially ruled out of the first two Tests. Since the injury is unlikely to heal in time for the third Test as well, it was decided to get back-up. http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia-v-india-2014-15/content/story/809471.html

oh feck,bhuvi out!! now india have to play umesh to have a chance,i'd play all 4 pacers even if it means a pathetic tails. kulkarni is pathetic but just a bench warmer

[express bowling]

Why not Pankaj ? Even Pandey is better.

[sscomp32]

:WTF: :whine: I hope he plays atleast one test.

[sscomp32]

Anyway Pankaj was a better option IMO. Kulkarni is pathetic.

[Cricket_Hacker]

don't worry Umesh will play oh wait,Dhoni will be back

[G_B_]

Umesh should play to be frank Dhawal i doubt will play so in a way it does not matter who was chosen.

[rkt.india]

Musical chairs. Why not Pandey who just warmed bench on two tours.

[fineleg]

Is Dhawal Kulkarni better than Ishwar Pandey and Pankaj Singh? Is it just "more FC experience" since other bowlers in our team are rookies? Whats the reason DK is next in pecking order for TEST MATCH selection? rkt - is DK mostly 128-132 guy? (esp. in his SECOND, THIRD spells in the day?) There's a reason why even Indian batsmen play Peter Siddle trundler better than Ryan and MJ. Aus will drop Siddle and get Hazelwood / Pat Cummins in the 11 during this series. Watch.

Like I said before no logic or plan in this ...and then they wonder why we always have rookies debuting for us in test matches .

[gslv]

Sad reality of indian cricket.

Simple answer he is not better and not even more experienced than pankaj...he is probably there to fill squad ..
