Dhawan is not the right replacement for Gauti.......... Jadeja's selection in place of Yuvi was Baffling even in Eng-Test series........ now he is retained........ Selectors find JADEJA more capable as a Batsmen......... than Tiwary, Yuvi, Raina is very "Surprising".......... Dont think JADEJA is right choice for No.6.......... Rahane is a Classical style batsmen who is more suited for No.3 or 4

jadeja should have been thown out.. dhonis as.. licker.. jaffer and abanti raynadu were the right replacement..
The selectors deserve congratulations for selecting the most deserving players in the team.Gambhir was expecting a sack for quite some time.Sehwag was shown the door against England.When will Tendulkar be shown the door?He scored a cetury or two in the ranjee trophy matches,sehwag won the Irani trophy against Mumbai as a captain;he is most promising to replace Dhoni as the future captain,only if he is more consistant.Best of luck to team India.

After this Test Match Sachin will himself find the door by himself to exit shamelessly.

Another Sachin blunder... Sachin did another record in Domestic, but Team fails....When u will go to train Jr. ? Like Oneday, u didn't deserve respectable exit ! Wht other records u want, u RECORD MASTER, not MATCH SAVIOUR/WINNER....Mr. Patil & Co. if Sachin will not retire on his own (whether he is scored OR Not), do not select him at all. Hats off to u.

Congrats!!!!! for what?? Why is JADEJA in the team instead of a "Specialist" Batsmen at No.6........ he hasnt earned his place...... he was "Rested" before the selection....... while Raina, Tiwary, Rahane, Vijay & others were being Tested in Irani cup........ Viru was struggling more than Gauti....... but only Gauti is sacked
When India has a Wealth of Good Allrounders who can bat and Bowl well- Why on earth they dont pick them. Examples are IRFAN PATHAN, ABHISHEK NAYAR(ESPECIALLY),SANJAY BANGAR WHO WAS FORCED TO RETIRE, THEN EVERYBODY FORGOT JOGINDER SHARMA, DASHING BATSMAN AND GREAT FIELDER-AMBATI RAYUDU. THEY KEEP PICKING THE SAME OLD BHAJJI, TENDULKAR,THEN USELESS JADEJA. I MEAN INDIA SHOULD HAVE GENUINE ALLROUNDERS AT 6 7 AND 8 SO THAT EVEN IF THERE IS A TOP ORDER COLLAPSE THEN THE TAIL CAN WAG. HOW LONG WOULD U DEPEND ON 5TH BOWLER PART TIMERS? INDIAN BATTING LOOKS VERY FRAGILE EXCEPT KOHLI AND PUJARA, AND SOMEWHAT DHONI.JADEJA CANT BE EXPECTED TO SCORE A TRIPLE HUNDRED AT INTL LEVEL AT NO.7. SELECTORS ARE YOU SLEEPING?

World has seen only 2 genuine allrounder so far. Garry and jack.
Means it is impossible to specialize in batting as well in bowling.
Sounds good that one knows all trade but it will be mere jack of all and master of none.

Of course others Lance Klusner, Chris Cairns, Bevan, etc were good too.
But Kapil, Imran & Richard Hadlee deserve the same status as Jack Kallis & Garry Sobers!
In fact, I think Jack Kallis is even better than Sobers!

yes u r right, he knows his place is on hook, Gautam is the most eligible person to replace him. Hence if Gambir is out, he is on safer side. Dhoni is a BAST__D.
Re: Re: Dhoni
by K Ram on Feb 11, 2013 08:27 PM
Ghambir is a threat? MSD fears him? funny! really funny!! Ghambir can only be a very good No. 11 batsman.
No one can take his place for granted. Only consistent performers will last long. There are many waiting in the wings. Someone will have to face such axes to accommodate other performers.

Then why Dhoni is still continuing after more than 3 test series,3 one day series ,Asia cup,T 20 world cup failure ?
Re: Time to show some steel: Gambhir
by vinay on Feb 10, 2013 08:42 PM
yes. only dhoni can take his place for granted inspite of losing 8-0 overseas n 2-1 on home where noone cud hv thought our series loss.
We Indians thank the Indian Selectors for taking a belated decision but making us happy, with the exclusion of Shriman Gambhir Ji, please can you restrict him to Kolkata Night Riders and SRK Group only and retire him from First Class Cricket, so that we can enjoy the Games in real ..............Thank you very much for taking into consideration our long standing request......
