They have been rested. Because, it wont be good for Ad people, BCCI etc, if these guys get clean bowled by these club level cricketers. Or may be after thrashing by Aussies, they need some rest, so that people forget what has happened. Big 20-20 fluke is coming out in open slowly...reality is still the Carribean world cup, where pathetic performances came out in open.

It would be better if u get some cricketing knowledge. India is one of the best side in the cricket world. Against Australia also we can win. You can check other team records against australia. And don't call 20-20 world cup a fluke. It was the best show of indian cricket.

Another flop event with all time flop international players and coaches. Flop players like: Kaif - look at his performance against SA A team pathetic show. Raina - still cannot time his shot. Munaf patel - a gully bowler and worst than a gully fielder. Gambhir - again a super flop international player, who never looked good at batting, lucky enough to get so many chances. Parthiv patel - He can only manage to score in domestic circuit, useless at international level. Shewag & dinesh karthik - If still they would have played at international level, they would ahev made a new record of maximum ZEROES in ODI, in consecutive matches. Finnaly Joginder Sharma - Woh what a bolwer, every tom dick and harry bangs him out of the stadium. T20 was his 1st and last international event and he should consider him self very lucky

Looking at your post, anyone can conclude your a BIG time FOOL. Try to write something related to the topic, rather then writing just to get noticed!!!
As you can see, it is not just the seniors but also people like Uthappa,Z. Khan, I.Pathan, Sreesanth, Chawala (If not injured) rested. India has played non-stop cricket since May. They have a couple of tough series V Pak and Australia. All of them need rest.

by Adnan on Oct 12, 2007 02:20 PM
I agree with you Navneeth. The youngsters like Uthappa, Pathan, Sreesanth and Bhajji should have played and tested!
Don't think they did that much to get a break ..May be they can find some form and rythm by playing ..What is the use of such competitions without the main players ..Is anyone ready to watch ??

He is not national level stuff look at how he bowled at tour level in England. He's not going to make it to the team India.

All the newcomers and those who falied at international level will be competing with each other. Look at the coaches, all the flops will be coaching them. GREAT

U r Insulting Agarkars Talent. Mow Venkatesh Prasad is Coach of India Green, so he will be the coach of Team India. Ha Ha Ha......Ha.

Agarkar got more than a crore after T20 win...he is busy in spending that sum. After his fellow Marathi manus, Sharadji, will again pick him for a major tournament, and he will contribute as 15th man to the team. And will share the booty, too. The Bombay duck is hiding in his wifes lap, since Aussies are around.
Karnataka players are not selected for Challenger . Why?? it means are the Karnataka players are not performing well? are any other reasons, rules etc..?
RE:why not Karnataka Players at least in Challenger??

I agree with you. Perhaps Karnataka players dont require this qualifying round which the other less able players require. They may be directly chosen if these Marathis are out of the selection team. Inspite of the gutless Marathi people and not because of them will the Karnataka guys get selected

Munaf Patel is not marathi, he actually belongs to Gujarat .... a little place called Ikaar... 5. Pravin Amre is marathi, he never played for Mumbai Maybe u missed this bcoz ur GK is limited as is ur thinking and vision 6. Lalu Rajput is not marathi, yes he lives in Mumbai Mumbai & Delhi are the only cosmopolitan metros in Indian where non-local can progress...not like Bangalore where even the locals do not speak to other people in Kannadiga....guys u in bangalore have miles to go before u catch with Delhi & Mumbai. Maybe u never will bcoz of idiots surving there
RE:why not Karnataka Players at least in Challenger??

Stupid Lalit Check these 1) Rohit Sharma (http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ci/content/player/34102.html) 2) Praveen Amre (http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ci/content/player/26238.html).
Both of them are born in Maharastra and play for Maharastra,Mumbai... Have sense before commenting... Bangalore is the fastest growing city in Asia.. Within next 5 years it will overtake Delhi and Mumbai.. If you do not like the growth of Bangalore.,, then why the hell people like you come here to earn bread and butter.... PLS GROW UP...

Well Said Mr. Pradhan... I completely agree with you...
My experience is that these Bangalore ppl are suffering throuh inferiority complex and thats why they always look 4 chances to speak against Delhi n Mumbai... Such people shud b shame on themselves..

what is karnataka contirbution to country ??? producing an idiot PM in Deve Gowda who played regional (sorry read district politics) at national level.... maybe kannadigas are bigger idiots than anybody !! is that so !! when will this country rise above petty regional / lingual bias over bigger national interests !! in fact at one point there were 5-6 karantaka players in team and some like Sunil joshi & some Johnson (dont remember his name) were picked to play when they could not perform in ranji level matches.. this johnson guy was said to be the future of indian fast bowling when we to South Africa...where is he now....eating kannadiga pie in Hassan !! Thats the problem ?

A hole pradhan, don't know which state you belong to, but you are surely a disgrace to our counrty. People like you should be shot in the head & fed to the vultures. A hole, you guys have had some worst politicians to have represented our country (Laloo Yadav, murderer Shibu Soren etc..) & you talk of Kranatka. , Karanataka is the silicon valley of the country & is support you guys from up north by providing huge job oppurtunities to your youngsters, Take a walk, bugger , you are nothing but an il-literete village buffoon.
