pragyan ojha and ashwin are better than harbhajan and amit mishra
by D S on Jun 03, 2011 12:14 PM

amit mishra is un-reliable. so selection of players need caution, need to see the form of yusuf. no use wasting time in politics and coach if certain players dont click.

Mumbai has won 5 of the last 10 Ranjis...
by NashikMarathi on Jun 03, 2011 03:11 AM  | Hide replies

Not a single Mumbai player (except Zaheer who won Ranji with Baroda to begin with) is in this Test side. Mind you test side as I don't care about ODOs.

Why even play Ranjis...?
Why even play First Class cricket?

Ajinkya Rahane with a FC average of 67.72 from 48 matches is not given a chance?

Is it because he is from Mumbai? Not quite.
Is it because he is from Mumbai AND he is Marathi? Probably!!!

On top of this it is funny that they tell marathi people to "Be Indian"!

Its bigots like you who deserve the tag of Anti-Indian. Who the hell cares about Mumbai Ranji players ? If you are so interested in a team from Mumbai, start a revolt, succeed from the Tyranny of India and start your own BCCBM. The current team is the best in the country no matter where players come from. If each and every player comes from Jharkhand and can still beat the world , so be it. You seem to be in favor of going back to the Azharuddin Era zonal politics. Good Luck, but thats not Pro-Indian , more like Pro-Marathi-Mumbai - heck Mumbaikars are not even considered of "Pure" Marathi origin (Just talk to friends in Nagpur or Pune to confirm this). Stop your Bigotry and get the hell out of here. Take sachin as your role model and learn from him a little. Not Raj Terroray.

Just because you claim they are the best...? How many chances has that Yuvraj got? Take a hike.

Just because Marathi haters like you want to destroy our way of life we will let you. People like Aurangzeb tried and they did not succeed and so won't you and your fake "Indian" crap.

We have read through your hatred of us and we are ready for the likes of you.

We care about Mumbai Ranji players. Your worthless teams cannot win the Ranji because you are pure worthless. All you know is to breed and rule others through your north Indian numbers. GO BREED and we can face your hatred.

Prove yourself in domestic cricket you rats and then qualify for the national team.

They are the best team in the world ... Not just in india. Were you born yesterday? Or did you lose your memory dude? Shouting rubbish on a rooftop doesn't make it true. Cwc? Psi/test ratings? Apparently this means nothing to your thick Marathi hide. Just FYI- I am from Pune and half of my family is a maharashtrian - the good kind. So stop your crap and get a life.

No one is questioning Sachin, Dravid, Laxman, Zaheer et al you half Marathi.

But there are examples in Indian team like Parthiv Patel in Aus.... who cost us the win because he was 17, had never played much first class cricket and could not keep to Kumble. He gets a nod now because of performances in domestics. What rule is good for him should be good for everyone. No one walks in because he has a reputation and performed in U19 crap.

A keeper like Vinayak Samant of the winning Ranji team would have won us the series in Aus which we have never done.

If you think there is no zonalism in cricket NOW... think again

The likes of Zaheer who showed what is what in South Africa after a miserable first test or an incredible VVS(very very special) Laxman have covered up for the zonalism.

I could care less about your half Marathi status. There are many like you who are full Marathi but will sell out their own family never mind community.

There are also many like me who think family, community, city, state, nation in that order. You don't like it too bad.

So here is a full Marathi who doesn't care about your half Marathi, half Bengali or half whatever crap. All I care about is Maharashtra and if you don't like it half whatever go take a long walk off a short pier.....

BTW there are many full Parsis and full Sikhs who think like me - so shove your half Marathi rubbish.

Ya .. all this coming from a mumbaikar - considered an outcast in the rest of maharashtra. Tell me what do you want ? 10 players in the Indian team who are Marathi? Why? Is Vinay Samant better than Dhoni ? Is he better than Parthiv even? What about Romesh Pawar ? should we replace Bhajji and Ashwin with him ? Ajinkya Rahane ? Where do you want to put him ? Sack Sehwag, Raina and Gambhir and have Rahane and Sachin open innings with ? Good Luck ... All these douche bag players have had enough chances to prove their worth and guess what some are fired, others are found wanting.
As far as the Marathi remark - Did i say I was half Marathi or Bong? I would be ashamed of my bretheren if that was true. It seems your whole world is in Mumbai or Nasik or whatever other shithole you belong to. Not only is your judgement retarded, but your intellectual capacity is questionable too.

Yes Einstein this is the way your logic works...

Justify using extremes.

Nobody is comparing Rahane to Dravid, Sachin, Laxman.

Those three are the finest in the world of test cricket. Harbhajan while not in the league of Kumble, Warne and Murali is a great spinner. Nobody is questioning him. Nobody can.

Now look at these first class averages Einstein and then yap....

Suresh Raina
59 matches average 43.15 7 hundreds

Yuvraj Singh
95 matches average 45.10 18 hundreds

Virat Kohli
30 matches average 57.59 7 hundreds

Ajinkya Rahane
48 matches average 67.72 17 hundreds

Rahane has never been considered for his country's test team. The others have been in the team or are in the team now.

Now you go look bowling stats for Dhawal Kulkarni and compare not with the excellent Zaheer Khan, but with other average bowlers.

This is what I look at "half this half that Einstein". The intellectual ability of comparing and justifying and vilifying a Rahane by comparing him with the incredible Virender Sehwag is your slimy tactic that I am not buying.Sehwag, Gambhir, Sachin, Dravid, Lax, Zaheer, Harby and Dhoni are not in the equation. The others most certainly are.

Take a hike. As for you as a Marathi "bretheren" ....

Badrinath - for all his skill and mental fortitude - got a chance by his excellent IPL form. Rahane had exactly the same opportunities and he messed it up. Check IPL stats for Rahane and Badri - i think that an acceptable competition. Check Ranji stats if you want as well. I have tried to be rational, each to his own.

Okay if you want to pick a test team based on IPL stats.... good luck. This discussion is over. I am not arguing with that level of "intelligence". If anything an IPL degrades the test batting ability of even a Sangakarra.

I am confused .. You are lamenting that Samant could have been a part of indian team over Parthiv who was 17 at that time. Fine You may be right, he may have been better or not. How do you associate that fact with hatred towards marathis? Tendulkar, Manjrekar, Gavaskar, Vengsarkar -- all pukka marathi gentlemen made it into the national team on merit and not politics. As far as Ajinkya Rahane - Ya i have seen him batting not impressed enough. Rayadu - maybe has talent. Dude - if you assume racial,regional or religious bias in everything - you will find it one way or another. Whether it exists or not. Sachin himself more influence on selectors than a dhoni or sehwag. People listen to him when he says this lad is a good batsman. If he was impressed by Rahane over 20 other equally talented domestic players - Rahane would have bee a) i IPL as a Mumbai Indian b) been on the flight to the Carribean.
Its not easy to replace established players. It was Raina in the Semifinals who had a big hand in getting the World Cup. It was Yuvraj all the way along. Kohli is solid and performs wherever he's asked to. Who else remains in the current team to replace with a marathi ?
Badrinath - for all his skill and mental fortitude - got a chance by his excellent IPL form. Rahane had exactly the same opportunities and he messed it up. Check IPL stats for Rahane and Badri - i think that an acceptable competition. Check Ranji stats if you want as well. I have tried to be rational, each to his own.

I see you are an IPL fan who equates that with test cricket. I made it clear that I am not talking of hit and giggle cricket.

If you want to justify a person in tests with ODO or even worse IPL performance then that kind of rationality is beyond compare.

Now maybe Rahane will be a Ashok Mankad but based on performance in the longer version of game and stats in same - your being impressed or not in the short version is utterly irrelevant - he deserves a shot at least in touring side.

So okay stick with picking a test team based on IPL and ODO records and you will get far. That is too much rationality for me.

Didnt i ask for Ranji Stats as well for comparison? Why are you so desperately trying to fit everyone to the mold of things that you hate? As far as i know badri has a Ranji average of 62-64 as well. IPL is an impression maker - atleast in ODI's. For tests - heck even Raina, Kohli and Yuvraj cant get a slot if the Big Boys are back - so any suggestions are meaningless. The Battle is on for "Slots" only. Badri/Pujara/Kohli/Yuvraj/Raina are all battling for the 6th batsman slot. 1-5 are all set. Backups for injuries are in place as well. Before giving Rahane a blind shot, these cricketers would be allowed to fail. Thats just whats going to happen - no point crying about it. There's no politics (except shreesanth who's a slimeball anyway) in appointments, no bias. Genuine players miss out because of luck and circumstances all the time. Whats the big fuss about Rahane - is he the next Bradman or something. Arent 10 other players in the country in the 60-70 ranji avg bracket? Who cares if he is maharashtrian or not. He cant make more runs in ODI or test by chanting jai hari vitthal can he ? If he's good, let him stand out. IPL however meaningless atleast was a factor in Badri's selection - wether agree or dont. His Ranji performance has backed his IPL and it shows he's versatile, confident and scales up to bigger things easily.

Rahane has a better First class average without picking and choosing years. He did at the end of last year. He did at the end of the previous year. But all that is naught because of IPL....??

Take a hike.

IPL is rubbish for test selection. What is this Rahane Bradman crap... you piece of senile trash is your Badri, Kohli, etc Bradman? What kind of rubbish is this? Who is talking of Bradmans? Bradman has a FC average of 95. Your Badri is at 46.

Believe me if you have time to follow IPL and you base test selections on IPL you have PLENTY of time on your hand.

Rahane has made more runs at a much better average over 48 matches. Sample size is irrelevant to an IPL obsessed person like you but it matters. Marathis care that he is Maharashtrian just like every Bangle trooping over the border into your filthy Bengal matters to people like you squatting in our state.

Rohit Sharma 43 matches Average 60.87 and 10 hundreds

ODOs do not matter but Sharma has played 61 ODO matches with an average of 27.13 .....

If he was marathi he would have never have played 61 ODOs with this kind of avg. Maharashtra living and mooching Marathi haters like you would have been on his case long long ago.

He does deserve a look in tests though.

Rahane has some places to climb , there are others. You must be happy though I missed Rohit Sharma in my list , but he is a fine enough player to feature in ODI's and Tests as well. He's from Mumbai. You still dont consider him mumbaikar because of his surname i guess. He's already in the team - so all your bullshit about regional Bias comes to an end here. Facts dont lie. Idiots like you may have all the free time in the world, I dont. So excuse me if i stop replying to your nonsense.
