Re: Why Badri was selected? Again Tamil feelings

why do you hate Tamils dude. I dont think there are any tamils in Pakistan. So you keep hating Mohajirs, Hazaras or any one who is not at punjabi.....
The Indian bowling needs to be far more menacing for it to make any mark in international test cricket. Today excepting Zaheer we do not have a bowler who can make an impression particularly in foreign pitches. South Africa has won against England because of their fiery pace attack backed up by some superlative batting from Hashim Amla. We don't see bowlers like Dale Steyn or Morni Morkel to defend our totals. We have some youngsters like Umesh Yadav , Varun Aron and ishant Sharma who can strike at over 140 km/h. But they need to go a long way in improving their skill in fast bowling. A definite plan to put them under some good professional coaching need to be considered seriously. This has been India's perennial problem and is much talked about especially when there is a debacle like what happened in England and Australia. Unless we have a definite action plan to work upon this weakness we should not even dream of being no 1 or no 2 consistently in test cricket.

Agree with you. But it goes with the pitches in India.
Unless we have the pitches that bounce and encourage a fast bowler it is not going to help. Even Steyn and Mokel will be disheartened if they have to bowl for months on Indian pitches.
Sachin Tendulkar does not have the solid defense of Gavaskar or Dravid, as he is an attacking batsman. The technical flaws show up now and then; and one may very well note that he does not have a century in each innings of a Test match, leave alone an double hundred and a hundred in the same match. It is not a great compliment that Bradman thought that Tedulkar's batting style resembled his. Sir Donald Bradman would not have been able to make the big scores against a four-pronged pace attack of the mighty West Indies. It is no wonder that Tendulkar's technique is suspect against a pace attack consisting of four bowlers bowling at or over 90 mile per hour. Tendulkar often cashed against weak attacks like Bradman, and could not deliver under pressure against high-quality bowling. In my opinion, he is not a Sobers, Kanhai, or Barrington or Simpson against top-class attacks.

Sobers and Kanhai were class batsmen. Won't put Barrington and Simpson in the same league. Both Kanhai and Sobers were classical stroke players and never used to open the innings. I agree with you that Gavaskar and Dravid have impeccable defense but Sachin is a better and more fluent stroke maker which is needed at no 4 position. He is perfect in technique against pace and spin alike. Only thing I can say about Sachin in the negative is that his shot selections in test cricket now a days are not always perfect and I would blame the one dayers and t 20 cricket for that.

The only cricketer I would rank after Sachin in stroke making amongst Indian cricketers is Vijay Manjrekar of yesterday years.

pujara proved once again that he is horse of the long race. he had shown glimpses of his techniq n temperament scoring tons of runs including 3 triple centuries on trot. n today he proved his talent at the highest level scoring his maiden hundred. congrats. and keept it up.
