AtheK Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Jaffer should have been given a chance, and why Sehwag??? Edited February 10, 2013 by AtheK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Vijay was in England squad for the series. So he cant be dropped out of the blue. Jaffer should have been in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 but atleast one bold move in dropping Gambhir, though same treatment should have been handed to Sehwag as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sufyan Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) How did Harbhajan get back into the side after being dropped for the last test against England where his replacement Chawla took 4 wickets? Harebrained stuff as usual even though i think Harbhajan is a better choice than Chawla.I was afraid they might pick Raina again based on his century in the Irani trophy game Edited February 10, 2013 by Sufyan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentassassin Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Bhajji bowled decent in the last game.. As i said he's there because of his history n lack of options..He's charged up and against aussie h has a very good record... Good to see shikhar dhawan in the team Dhawan Sehwag Pujara Sachin Kohli Dhoni Jadeja Ashwin Bhajji BK Ishanth This would be the team mostly.. Unfortunate ohja has to sit this.. Jaddu , ohja n bhajji ...2 of then will play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Why the f**k wasn't last ODI between Aus and WI aired here? ESPN showed ROI vs Mum, Star Cricket showed Women's WC but Star Sports? They showed BBL highlights and earlier WI ODI match highlights of the series and India's 80s Australia tour highlights instead of LIVE MATCH. WTF? And NZ vs England was also not shown on any channel. But I saw it on live streaming. Carnage by England in that match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 WI vs Aus was shown in Star sports i guess.. No. That is what I said above. Star Sports was showing highlights of old matches all the time. NZ vs England was fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 So Mishra has been dropped again based on....? Tiwary is not selected but Sehwag is. Very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentassassin Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 So Mishra has been dropped again based on....? Tiwary is not selected but Sehwag is. Very well. Tiwary came back from injury n played only 1 game.. He scored 68 but looked very edgy n was uncomfortable.. So its obvious he is'nt picked.. If we needed a middle order batsman Raina would have picked..he's in awesome form.. Man of the series against england.. Scored century n a 50 in Irani trophy..

Right Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Yeah, Raina could have been picked looking at form, but he isn't a test player. Averages just 28. Actually, not rotating players and trying new players at international level in T20s or ODIs, has led to situation when they dont have much options for tests. Sehwag - scratchy and inconsistent, Sachin - out of form, Kohli - out of form in tests, Dhawan - not tried, Rahane - not tried much, Vijay - not tried Pujara - looks good, Dhoni - playing a lot better Jadeja - cant contribute big with bat Edited February 10, 2013 by Udham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dranjithk Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 As far as I can guess, Vijay will just be carrying water bottles.. The selection committee and Dhoni are so obsessed with left-right opening combination. Dhawan most likely to get his test cap in Chennai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Delhi boy gets his test cap and a local boy carries water bottles, in Chennai, not happening. But speaking practically, most likely it will be decided based on Board XI and India A matches. Vijay, Dhawan and Rehane will play these matches, for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante77 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 W. Jaffer didn't make it IMO he is the best test batsmen for India. He is a test specialist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sachin fires then the series is ours As far as I can guess, Vijay will just be carrying water bottles.. The selection committee and Dhoni are so obsessed with left-right opening combination. Dhawan most likely to get his test cap in Chennai. Vijay will be playing..But he should'nt He has'nt done well in this season.. Hope Dhawan gets to play...He's a brilliant feilder also.. Also we need to find a good slip catcher..Sehwag sucks at slips.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dranjithk Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Vijay will be playing..But he should'nt He has'nt done well in this season.. He doesn't have the temperament to play at the highest level. Gets carried away way too easily after playing a big shot (he almost always tries to repeat the shot even if the ball is too good to be put away ) and loses his cool at the slightest provocation. Don't know how he's gonna cope up with the famed Oz sledging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Only adv india has is that even Aus team is in rebuilding mode, except Clarke and Watson, rest of there batsmen are relatively new. Maybe you can discount Warner, who else is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anikesh Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 cook and kp took away series why cant clarke and watson do the same harbhajan started his big talk againwhen will he walk the talkwe might see aussies take spinners to cleaners and india calling a leg spinner after 2 tests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
