Shivaji bhonsle Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 5 quicks BK' date=' Shami two certainties then two of who does well in CB series, Ishant, Yadav and Aaron. Spinner one of Jadeja or Akshar based on CB series. I want 4 specialist pacers but it wont happen.[/quote'] don't get surprised if Mohit gets selected ahead of Aaron.:haha:
bowl_out Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 don't get surprised if Mohit gets selected ahead of Aaron.:haha: I don't think that is all that bad an idea... Aaron is quick, but sprays it all over the place... Not sure if that will be effective in ODIs... Bhuvi, Shami, Yadav, Ishant will be the top 4 picks for ODIs.... If they decide to go for a fifth quick, it is a toss up between Mohit and Aaron, and the former has a better chance of being picked.
Trundler27 Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 well i had something else in mind when it came to a 'pace-bowling all-rounder'. Unfortunately we don't have such a breed in Indian cricket.... so hard-working hulking binny is our only option.
Sachin=GOD Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Seems to be there to give him kaaanphidence like Chawla was there in WC 2011.
Number Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I think he comparing with Roger Binny, he was 115 kmph bowler while Binny is 125 kmph bowler. That's 10 kmph of extra pace already. anyways, has anyone seen this mysterious extra pace binny is talking about, in the Ranji matches recently.
Switchblade Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Stuart Binny could be a good seam-bowling all-rounder, says Sunil Gavaskar http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/stuart-binny-could-be-a-good-seam-bowling-all-rounder-says-sunil-gavaskar/99/ Legendary batsman Sunil Gavaskar on Tuesday said while India’s batting line-up for the upcoming ODI cricket World Cup looks formidable, the all-rounders in the side are expected to play a major role in defending the title at the quadrennial extravaganza in Australia and New Zealand. The Indian selectors on Tuesday included all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja, still recovering from a shoulder injury, and Stuart Binny in the 15-member squad for the World Cup. “The Indian batsmen are capable of putting a lot of runs on the board. Batting has been India’s strength. But the fact that we won the last World Cup and the Champions Trophy on the all-round performance, so the Jajedas, Binnys, Ashwins could play a role in India defending the title,” said Gavaskar. “India’s batting looks good and as far as bowling is concerned, if they can bowl well on the surfaces in Australia, they have a good chance,” he told ‘NDTV’. Opener Shikhar Dhawan, who struggled in the ongoing Test series against Australia, has also been retained in the squad, and Gavaskar feels he is a better choice over Murali Vijay in the limited-over format. “The World Cup is 50-over format and this is the format which will suit Dhawan more,” he pointed out. The fans have taken to the social networking sites after the World Cup squad was announced on Tuesday, criticising Stuart Binny’s inclusion in the side. His father, Roger, incidentally is a member of the selection committee. But Gavaskar lashed out at the fans, stating that he would have also picked Stuart, irrespective of his father being a former teammate. “When I picked my 15, although I am not even a selector, I had applied my mind. I chose Stuart because on those kind of surfaces (Australia and New Zealand), he could come in very handy with the seam bowling. As a lower order batsman also or as a floater. He can be pretty handy with the bat. “Whenever he got his chances in limited overs cricket, he picked more wickets than the regular bowlers. And the fact that India do not have great all-rounders, even as Axar Patel and Ravindra Jajeja are there, Binny could be a good seam-bowling all-rounder,” explained the former skipper. On whether it would have been better to have a leg-spinner in the side, Gavaskar said: “If that was the way I thought, I would have included a leg-spinner in my 15 that I chose the other day for the channel.” Asked who should be donning the wicketkeeper’s gloves in case Mahendra Singh Dhoni got injured and Robin Uthappa not been included in the squad, Gavaskar’s pick was Ambati Rayudu. “Rayudu has done a good job for Mumbai Indians and he can fill in for Dhoni. If there is a serious injury then replacement could be asked for.” Gavaskar said out-of-favour Yuvraj Singh must work harder to come back into the team. “It must have been hard on Yuvraj, who was the man-of-the-series in the last World Cup but form is such an important thing. But he is just 33-34 years old. Looking back at his experiences with the team earlier, he must be motivated to try and make a comeback. He must be missing the dressing room atmosphere, the camaraderie, the training, travelling, etc,” he elaborated.
Vijy Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 Bunny is not a good all-rounder! Wonder why Sunny said that... perhaps senility is creeping in? If one removes that 6-fer, his bowling and batting records are poor, even in List A as well.
rkt.india Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 I think he comparing with Roger Binny, he was 115 kmph bowler while Binny is 125 kmph bowler. That's 10 kmph of extra pace already. anyways, has anyone seen this mysterious extra pace binny is talking about, in the Ranji matches recently. Roger Binny was quicker, I think.
Vijy Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Has he increased his pace to 150? Permute the numbers - 105.
Number Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Roger Binny was quicker' date=' I think.[/quote'] From what I heard all Indian medium pace bowlers before Kapil were in 115-120 range. Stuart Binny is quicker than Roger Binny, may be about same.
rkt.india Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 From what I heard all Indian medium pace bowlers before Kapil were in 115-120 range. Stuart Binny is quicker than Roger Binny, may be about same. Having seen Roger Binny videos, he does look like 130-135k bowler, certainly quicker than Stewie and BK.
FischerTal Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 since hes selected good luck but i think we all know what will be the result. aussie pitches dont even have swing for him
