why jadeja is given so many chances,though he is playing like a non-player.there so many talents in the country,he may pay a lot to the pocket of selection committee.
I know everybody has a varied perception and I am not an exception.But i don't think Munaf Patel deserves a place in the national team. He doesn't seem to be a player due go his lackadaisical attitude in either batting,bowling or fielding.I think he should be dropped from the side undoubtedly.He should, in fact learn from Clint Mckay who just arrived 2 days before the match without any match practice and importantly making a debut and grabbed 3 important wickets which resulted in india's defeat.

Dear Mr. Bose,
You are right that Munaf Patel did not perform well in the Hyderabad one-dayer but if you are questioning his attitude then I feel sorry for you, I have seen this guy sweating out in the nets before a Test Match and there is no doubt that since Munaf is being recalled time and again to the Indian side, there is no lack of skills, energy or commitment. Any player can have a good or a very bad day. Clint Mckay got 3 wickets because he had a good day but then can u guarantee that Clint Mckay will continue to perform in the same way... the answer is NO, because he too will have his bad day somewhere down the line.There is no point comparing Munaf Patel with Clint Mckay however, I agree on one thing that if Munaf Patel is found lacking he should be given advice and suggestions on how to improve further as there is no doubt that he is talented. It is very easy to sit and watch at home and comment on the performances of these players but very difficult to support a player who is not performing to the expectations.You questioned his attitude, let me give you an example, Harbhajan Singh was promoted up and he came in after the dismissal of Suresh Raina, Harbhajan has been playing exceptionally well in this series but he got out just the second ball edging to Manaou, if he would have scored 3 runs India would have been home.At the same time, Munaf Patel atleast scored 2 runs and rotated the strike and gave Pravin Kumar an opportunity to have a go at the bowler..
are the players to be blamed for the losses. Sehwag must realise that some patient knock is required from him, and that wham-bam is not helping at all. Gambhir, Kohli and Jadega must learn a lesson about patience and calculated risks from the long knocks of Tendu, Dhoni, Yovi in past ODIs of this series. The examples are before them, but the problem is they are not willing to learn and see it.
I think Jadega tried well compared to his experience. What did others do ?? Seeing the effor to reach 350, admitted defeat even before batting. WHat happened when dhoni promoted bajji? Why Bajji did not wait patienetly even for 1 ball, then Dhoni would have introduced the power play.? Sachin after coming so well lost all his flow waiting for these people just doing time pass at the crease in those curcialko

Lee is gone for a reason. And Indians dont know the change that has happened without him
India should stop inducting players at the age of 19 ofcourse few exceptions could be there but youngsters first prove their worth in first class matches. We have now lost 3-4 games because of Jadeja, I think he dosent have a temprament to be in Indian side. India should recall either yousuf or irfaan or rohit. atleast hey have won matches on their own in the past. India has the tendency to drop match winners thats why we lose more often then not. Jadeja is a pathetic cricketer and is only playing f or money. please drop him
