Worst selection possible for quota system
by N G Thakurta on Nov 06, 2012 05:47 AM  | Hide replies

Cant imagine Ishant Sharma ahead of Ashok Dinda & Murli vijay ahead of Manoj Tiwary - BCCI is run by the rouges from the South.

Murali Vijay like many other Indian Batsmen is full of strokes on dead Indian Wickets. But don,t know to play when the ball is swinging or pitched short. His selection is a waste.

Different teams for different versions..
by Akash Mehra on Nov 05, 2012 09:52 PM  | Hide replies

Its tiem our selectors should plan teh teams in such a way that players are selected based on which version they play.Players like Zaheer, Ishanth, Harbhajan should be selected for only test cricket.Raina,Jadeja, Irphan should be treated as one day and 20-20 specialists.

Raina should not lose heart as he is a great fighter and he has long future in Indian cricket.

There is nothing wrong in looking at cricketers liek Ajith Agarkar who is bowling with so much fire now a days. he is much better than praveen kumars and vinay kumars...

And also have a look at ambati rayudu he is a great prospect too....

You have raised a valid point and I agree with you that the selectors can have senior players for test matches whereas juniors should play more ODIs and 20-20 to get exposure so that one fine day they can replace the seniors.

Sandeep Patil is repaying his debt in being made Chief Selector out of the blue to N Srinivasan by picking Murli Vijay who belongs to Tamil Nadu. I mean how else does one justify his selection. To balance things Harbhajan Singh has been recalled to keep the north lobby happy. It can be no one's case that he deserves the recall. And has Yuvraj really done enough to earn a test recall, sentiments about his recent battle with cancer notwithstanding ? Ajinkya Rahane has been picked to keep the west (and particularly Mumbai)lobby happy, though admittedly he deserves to be picked. All in all, it is a case of you scratch my back and I scratch yours. Teams from Central and East Zone win the Ranji and Duleep Trophies, but no players are picked from there as they do not have daddies to press for their selection. So the Tiwaries and Dindas slog match after match, usually winning them against more fancied opposition, but they barely get a look in. And players from the East have another big disadvantage ... the captain comes from their zone, but having sold himself out to Srinivasan and CSK he ensures that other players from the east do not get proper chances. So that everyone can say .. what a impartial person he is. Only Raina from Central Zone gets a chance .. that too because he is one of MSDs bmmbuddies at CSK

by simon seth on Nov 05, 2012 08:18 PM

why select old timers , over the hill guys? harbhajan, Sachin, Zaheer.. have all failed repeatedly/ why not let yoiung guns boom? selectors are clearly myopic ... get swayed by other things than talent....

Selectors have again exposed their blin..red side- why pick harbhajan,zaheer, sachin despite their repeated failures? there is a shelf life which is over for these guys.But we live in India.. where considerations other than pure talent count...
