sachin should play maximum cricket now
by sudhakar on May 14, 2011 03:40 PM

as he is approaching end of his career....he should play maximum criket..because of his rest new opener not gets enough chance in team,thats why players like parthiv patel gets selected so that his place as opener remains safe.

Useless Selection
by readiffmod@rediffmail.com on May 14, 2011 12:41 PM

Should have picked different team for T20 and different for ODI.
Parthiv and Saha are useless batsmen, actually deadweight
Rohit sharma has no varying form. His mumbai background helped him.
Ishant sharma is the most non lethal run leaking bowler
Harbhajan was scared of rahul sharma so he did not want to rest
Rayudu, manoj tiwary, rahul sharma should have been included.Dissapointed

Should try Varun Aaron in the next series
by Navvu on May 14, 2011 11:18 AM

has got the pace and is an intelligent bowler. His recent domestic performance for Jharkhand was good and also did well in the 2 IPL matches he played

Overall a good selection
by super hero on May 14, 2011 12:28 AM

I would have liked to see Rahul Sharma/ Rayudu and Kohli as VC. But I can live with this selection.
For once leave the regional hatred and start thinking positively why the selection is done. Ranji performances should be given preferneces over IPL. Parthiv did good in Ranjis. He will also open in tests. So they gave a chance to him ODI's as well. Saha wont get a chance to play anyways. Also he is a good keeper. So he might have got selected as test reserve keeper ahead of rayudu/karthik. We have Ashwin/Mishra. So Rahul sharma wont get much chances anyways. They said only Ishant and Vinay are selectes mainly based on this years ipl performances as they as known players.
Badri and Rohit did well in Ranjis. We dont have place for them with Sachin,Ghambir and Kohli in the team to play as anchors. But they have future prospects as test middle order batsman. So not a bad idea to give them chances in ODI's . Good to see sreesanth/vijay/piyush dropped. You can always crib/cry saying preference to CSK and Bengali quota. Or you can fell u know better than the selectors. Or you feel good about the sport and just enjoy it. Some people never change.

Bengal lobby

has clinched a place for Saha again. When Dhoni is rested selectors should have chosen a good batsman cum wicket keeper in the team. Now one batting place has been lost unnecessarily. If they wanted to please Bengalis they could have given an opportunity to Manoj Tiwary but not Saha

Come on talk some sense here. Dalmiya has no bargaining power and where is the bengal lobby? Had there been such a lobby, Calcutta would got major world cup matches. The reason saha has been selected is to ensure that parthiv patel gets to play in the ODI’s. With saha around, the captain would have no opeion but to go with parthiv. Now, had rayudu been selected, he would definitely been preferred instead of parthiv. Probably the BCCI has still not forgotten that fact that rayudu had played for the rebel league some time back. But, shocking that rayudu has not been selected!

Nayak sir, the selectors have enough experience than you to decide on the team. First, they want a full time Wicket Keeper not a part time one like Uttappa or Rayudu. Does Manoj Tiwary keep wickets, pease educate us ?

1 wckeeper is more than enough for just 7 matches. The second one for 5 ODIs and 2 T20s is not a needed luxury and as a backup RAYADU would have been perfect.

You may not know that in last two domestic seasons he was the highest wicket taking bowler in the Country. He has been showing wonderful performance but unlucky to lose his place in national side.

Dude the highest wickettaker this season is PAnkaj Singh and Deepak Chahar. Get educated first and then blabber. Vinay Kumar was in 2009.

Deepak Chahar is super slow..could not see him in IPL Sameer what happened ??? and Pankaj Singh did well only this year. Vinay Kumar has been doing well consistently for the last few years. He has the experience of bowling to murderers like Chris Gayle has good variation

Rayude = part time WK = ok for T20s but 50 overs, big question mark?
Saha = Full time WK

Hope you all cricket enthusiatics got the answer.

Spinners slot: Iqbal is anytime better than Mishra. Iqbal is a good batsmen as well. Bad luck.

Rayadu instead of Saha is fine but Amit Mishra is much better for ODI's . Iqbal is a good T20 bowler
