Only reason for Agarkar to play so many internationals is because he is from Mumbai otherwise he is waste. Mumbai did't buy this scrap. God bless SRK with this shit

why u sre silent on yr relatives ishant sharma, RP singh, praveen kumar, nehra etc who continue in team just because friend of dhoni. Agarkar atleast better than ishant He is much better than these useless northy bowlers who continue in team just beacuse of politics.
One big reason for KKR's defeat is Ishant Sharma. I don't know the exact figures, but he must have conceded more fours and maximum runs per match. Every time Ganguly wins a match, he changes the winning combination and brings brings in Ishant for the next match, only the lose it. Wish Ishant on your side, you can't expect to defend a total of even 200, what to say of 160. I still can't fathom why Ishant was preferred instead of the most economical Murli Karthik. If Ganguly needed a third pacer, he could have used his own slow medium pace.

Ganguly should retire. He just does not have the fitness levels requred for this format.
He converts 2's to one and even 3s to one. He is not athletic. Once in a while he takes a good catch. The less said the better about his fielding.He chases the ball till it goes to the boundary.
It is a pity that Karnataka players do not have any god fathers in the BCCI. Robin Uthappa has more than proved himself for a slot in the Indian T20 team. But no, the selectors are oblivious of his achievements. May be if Uthappa was a Tamilian, he would have been noticed by Krishnamachary Srikanth.
Another glaring example is Anil Kumble. For all his dizzying performances and his records, he had to prove himself in each and every match that he played. So often he has been dumnped.

Hebber, please go and check the past, Uthappa was given enough chance in T20 and ODI. But he didnt show this much performance in the past. Players like Uthappa, Yusuf are only playing good in IPL where they are getting more money. At international level they are Zero.

then why u are not questioning dhoni selection. what was his performance in last t20 wccup. In fact he has got the lowest strike rate among all batsman in international cricket

You cannot hold the past against him when he has more than proved himself in the present IPL. If a few failures were sufficient grounds for being thrown away, then Tendulkar would have gone long ago from Test and one day cricket.
Re: Uthappa's blast tames the Knights
by ASHISH KUMAR on Apr 11, 2010 03:33 PM
He should be northy to be selcted in final eleven. As long as political regional captan dhoni is there , final playing eleven will be full of northy irrespective of performance. So plaese blemae useless dhobi & not srikanth

Manish in T 20 squad????????Fot the world cup???do you read the papers at all?????
Though I would not potray Srikkanth as a chief selector with a pro-Tamilian bias,it's true that instead of Yuvraj and Rohit(who are currently struggling),guys like Uthappa,Manish or any other younster who is doing well in IPL could have been given a chance.
Maybe Uthappa has flopped earlier but current form should matter and not past performance,good or bad

u are right, as long as politicain dhobi is captain, final eleven will be full of northy. On merit dhoni himself doesn't derveve a place in team. see his present IPL performance or last T20 wcup. he was the biggest flop.
Yesterday's match showed once more how stupid our selectors are by not picking someone like Robin Uthappa and carrying people like Jadeja and Rohit....Jadeja is getting the backing of Dhoni and Rohit is playing due to the bloddy mumbai lobby....common...u need ur best team out there in WC...and u obviously knw that Uthappa got to be there in his present form....
Re: India T20 WC Squad
by ASHISH KUMAR on Apr 11, 2010 03:41 PM
What about ur dhobi northy lobby beacuse of which average players like Ishant sharma, RP singh, Praveen kumar, nehra, Raina etc continued in team for yrs & yrs. In final playing eleven only northy will play as long as useless politicain dhobi is captain. On merit he himself doesn't deserve a place in team. He & dada were always liability to any team.
Talks a lot. Has no record to show in domestic cricket. Has very little international experience. In the last T20 WCup, the guy bats as though, he is batting in a test match. He is not even the top 3 spinners in the country.
Now why would Dhoni and Sreekanth and Co select him ahead of someone like Uthappa? Because Dhoni is a rank bad selector and Sreekanth does this as a hobby and is never serious or has the vision to put together a good team.
Jadeja is an average player with average skills who is in the team 'cause of a brain freeze on Dhoni and Sreekanth's part. 2. Garbi Player 2: Suresh Raina
Rank bad player of short balls. He does not like good fast bowling attacks and not a consistant player.
The one good thing is, he is a good fielder.
This guy claims he can bowl. He does not come in as the top three spin bowlers in the country. He is in the team 'cause, Dhoni and the selectors are having a brain freeze. This guy makes the indian middle order weak against good pace attacks.
Garbi player 3: Rohit Sharma Young and stupid. The guy gets injured playing football 15 minutes prior to the start of an important test match and had to be dropped.
He has the abilities. But, not sure about his desire to become somebody. His form is questionable and makes the indian T20 middle order weak.
Replacmeent players - in case the above guys get injured. 1. Robin Uthappa, Vijay, Irfan Pathan (who is coming back to form).

It is your opinion vs selectors opinion. Do not try to impute motives to the selector's choice. You may think poorly of Raina, Jadeja and Rohit. Selectors think highly of them. Give them a chance.
BTW Uthappa talks a lot and needs to reduce his I, Me, Myself talks.

Re: Re: India T20 Team has garbage players that need to be replac
by Hebbar R on Apr 11, 2010 09:18 AM
That precisely is the problem Mr. Shah. The Selectors think highly of mediocre players, while good players are given short shrift. Now, in the case of Uthappa, his performance in this IPL would certainly make him eligible for a slot in the National Team.
Forget about his excessive talking. That is not an issue that should be of concern for selection. The important thing is that he has made his bat talk and loudly at that. He has been the difference between loss and victory in quite a few matches this season.
A former Test Cricketer had called these selectors as \\\\\\\"Jokers\\\\\\\". One cannot but feel that \\\\\\\"Joker\\\\\\\" is indeed a very mild word for these people.
