Why not .....?
by Cricket Addict on May 30, 2008 04:57 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

It seems almost everyone has a "why not .. ?" question to ask. I have to ask two.

Why not Venugopala Rao instead of Robin Uthappa, and why not Dinesh Karthick instead of Ojha or Ishant ? There is only one wicketkeeper in the team.

Not the right time
by Maheswari on May 30, 2008 04:56 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

This is not the right time to announce the team. It will greatly affect the mental skill of non-selected players those who are still playing in IPL. They would have announced after the IPL final. Take the case of Gony, Balaji, Parthiv in CSK and Abhishek Nayar, Badrinath, yomahesh Asnodkar, Jadeja, Dinda, Rawat, Chitnis, Takwale.. etc

but the results proved otherwise.

Manpreet Gony?????
by Mahesh Kumar Jegadeesan on May 30, 2008 04:54 PM  Permalink 

The selectors are old farts who dont know anything. How could they ignore Manpreet Gony. With a little more training, he could be India's strike bowler. And why praveen kumer?? Why not Dhawan and Nayar??

M sooo mad...ahhhhh

Robin Uthappa is lucky to get in.He is getting too cute in his batting.His temperament is questionable.Dinesh Karthik would be a better choice as he has come out of his form slump.Gony is better than R.P.Singh He shd have been tried out.Yuvraj is lucky.He bats once in 10 innings.Praveen Kumar's economy rate is bad.His attitude needs a change.Dinda would be better.Has pace.Ojha is lucky and Amit Mishra is unlucky.

Young & Experienced Team Selecction

Good Young and experienced team. Looks like this team has been selected based on their current form. I really appreciate the Selectors

Which current form? IPL?
Then why do you think Uthappa, Yuvi, RP Singh, Irfan Pathan were given preference over Asnodkar, Gony, Badri, Dinda, Yomahesh, Jadeja?

And if it is a young team what is Sehwag doing in there?..

That's why I asked it Hari...
You made two mistakes... a) admitted that he is 36 still playing... b) said he is unfit .. which you will regret presently...

a) So Sehwag should play for at least 6 more years not 4 (I know why you said 4... coz Sachin is 34... you want Sehwag to retire at exactly the age you are demanding Sachin to get lost)..
b) Hayden is unfit... but he'll soon return to the Aussie team... so should Sachin, after he's fit..

Howz that for logic Mr./Ms. Hari?... ;-)

Now we have players to choose & ignore
by sai krishna on May 30, 2008 04:48 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

Think about Batting line up Gambhir,Sehwag opening followed by Yusuf Pathan, if any of the openers out within 20 overs of Power play.then Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj,Dhoni,Raina/Uthappa,irfan Pathan,Praveen,Chawla/Ojha Ishant Sharma, Sreesanth/R.P.singh doesnt it look like a good team. But i feel M.S.Gony, S.K.Trivedi ( Who bowls beautiful disguising slow bowls)Badrinath, Venugopal Rao, Manoj Tewary,Shikar Dhawan,L.R.Shukla,Parthiv, Virat Kohli, P.Sangwan,(Though no so good 20-20 for both of them) Asnodkar, Rajat Bhatia have shown that they have sufficient talent.

RP SINGH SELECTION
by phanehwar on May 30, 2008 04:47 PM  Permalink 

I think selectors might have selected YO MAHESH instead of R P SINGH who has been expensive in this edition of IPL despite taking 15 wickets.I think YO MAHESH might have selected in place of R P SINGH.

Dhoni and Chhote Log

20-20 is a game for "chhote"s(smalls). Chhote ground, chhote overs, cheerleaders ka chhote kapre.....Sachin, Dravid, Dada iye saare bade hain.......Dhoni chhote log hain...Us liye hi Deepika usko chhod ke chali gayi......Big people like Dada, Sachin, Dravid should not be in that "small" Dhoni's team....that too against "chhote" Bangladesh....

RE:Shame on Sachin
by srilakshmi on May 30, 2008 04:53 PM  Permalink
Hi Karan,
Don't be harsh on sachin. let us respect his contribution to indian cricket. Today, only two players are recognised as "Gifted players" for indian criket. They are Sachin and Kumble.
any way the team selection is not so good. They shoud have dropped yusuf,utappa,sreesanth,praveen kumar & irfan pathan. In their place, they could have included Shikar Dawan, Vinay kumar, Nair & badrinath.
what do u say?

Underachievers in life, learn to respect people who have earned such glorifies through their supreme effort, talent and behaviour. You must feel ashamed for using words such as kicked out for a Sachin. He is the same guy who joined the team in the world cup soon after his father's demise. You can not doubt his commitment.

Omission of Manpreetsingh GONY, Abisekh Nayar and Yomahesh is not at all acceptable. They have done marveslously than PraveenKumarand Robin Utthappa. Always performance must be the criteria for selction.
