Youngsters to look for next season and Badrinath ‘s failure
1) Manoj Tiwary — the 1st real youngster post 2007 age to make the mark but injuries got him and barring the yorker game in Gabba in CB series 2008, this lad didnt get much chances to prove his talent. This season he should be back in contention given the injury of Raina and ahem ahem uselessness of Rohit Sharma
2) CP : Much said about him on Indian blogs in 2008. before injury got him ahead of IPL, he was in terrific form and he should get chance to prove his worth in ODIs and as a fringe player in Tests.
And those who support Badrinath to be in contention for the place in ODIs or Tests should go look for his score cards in Emerging player tournaments. He is the boss there and doesnt have to deal with the wicked presence of MS up there. Scoreline of 4, 3, 13 in 3 games as skipper obviously wont help his cause and then vocal cords or noise or support of Kris wont help him get even 3 or 4 voices in his favor.
Cmon Dabri, prove it you have got the substance and the mettle. As of now I m grinning cos I know you are useless. Your performances down under are going to turn off ur remaining supporters too.
Ways Pujara can get into reckoning!
Quota system back ?
.
Balaji comes in the team for Munaf.
If Vengsarkar was chief selector even now, Dhaval Kulkarni wud have been into the team. The same lame duck bowler in IPL who bowls max 126 kmph fastest and is amazingly highest wicket taker in the Ranjis.
Thats why the likes of Jaffer got the chance when they were ordinary or for that matter Badrinath continues to be in Grade B when he hasnt even played a single decent knock at highest level. How come he is in the central contracts list and no PUJARA ?
Rajput is shamelessly backing Dhaval Kulkarni on a show on Neo Cricket. Mumbai mumbai bhai bhai.
Inconsistent selections
-
What was the parameter for the selection ? ODIs or Ranji games ? The ODIs are yet to begin (Deodhar trophy).
-
And if Ranji games was a criterion for selection for ODI games, then what was fault of C. Pujara ? An average of 82.96 and 900 runs in the season isnt enough ? If thats not enuf then whats enuf ?
-
Why was Virat Kohli dropped out of the team without even a single game after the Sep SL series ? Too many delhi players ? What is Rohit Sharma doing in the ODI team ? He hit 2 100s in the Ranji final, but then has he played a considerable innings in a ODI since CB series ?
Answers beckon to this couple of inconsistent selections…
Pujara not in, Badrinath not out YET!!!
If not then whats sufficient ? Giving away the chances, making 0s, 2s or single digit scores ? Or hailing from the same state from the chief selector ? This is outrageous. Similar to Jaffer when he got aplenty of chances when DBV was chief selector.
Thats narrow minded with no heads applied to the decision. A lot like PCB’s Ijaz Butt…..BEsides that the squad is on the expected lines.
Give Pujara a look in ahead of Yuvraj
Get in Cheteshwar Pujara in the Test team. Groom him….I think he rivals Yuvraj Singh and on basis of his current domestic form should edge past ODI king Yuvraj for Ganguly slot. 3 domestic 100s and big ones at that isnt a mean task. And that too against one time power house of Ranji — Mumbai is enough good to prove that this dude is worth the gamble……12 years ago Ganguly sparkled against England and now who knows we might get a new TEST star against same opposition 🙂
But will MSD and Kris edge past lazy duo of Raina and R Sharma ?
