Varun Aaron- The true fast bowler
by vinu bhaskar vimal on Feb 04, 2014 04:37 PM

Hey it is sad to say that nobody has noticed the speed of varun aaron who consistently touches 150kms/hr speed in the last one day match against kiwis. he and Umesh Yadav are the only two indian cricketer who can able to bowl at 150 kms/hr speed. I think he is very useful in foreign pitches when bowling in tandem with Umesh. We the fans of fast bowling eagerly waiting for that moment when speed gun regularly shows 150kms/hr for an indian bowler

Sambhar vs. Chholey

We need to not look at players from North or South, but look at them from team perspective. Ultimately, the performance should be the only reason for selection.

I think its good to bring in Harbhajan as the CSK poster boy - Asswin has flopped like a Do-do outside India. However, the selectors missed opportunity to bring in some of the promising youngsters. I would have selected a different team:

1. Jiwanjot Singh Chauhan (India Jr.)
2. Gautam Gambhir
3. Unmukt Chand (India Jr.)
4. Cheteshwar Pujara
5. Manpreet Juneja
6. Wriddhiman Saha
7. Sanju Samson (India Jr.)
8. Kedar Jadhav
9. Parvez Rasool
10. Harbhajan Singh
11. Parvinder Awana
12. Sandeep Sharma
13. Zaheer Khan
14. Baba Aparajith (India Jr.)
14. Jasprit Bhamra (Gujarat)
15. Vijay Zol (India Jr.)
16. Harmeet Singh (India Jr.)

BCCI need to give opportunity to newcomers as well as seniors purely based on performance.

Good Luck to Harbhajan Singh & Gautam Gambhir
by on Feb 03, 2014 11:10 PM  | Hide replies

Well, we know that is still a lot of cricket left in Bhajji and Gautam but they unfortunately are victims of some politics that is involved in present day's selection. Same regular failures continue to be members of the Indian team yet have guts to make bold statements. May be they have taken their places for granted.

Bhajji and Gautam have done well of late and I have a strong feeling that this might open their gates to return to Indian team. Even though Dhoni will make them sit in dressing room but them stand a strong chance. My best wishes are with them and other players like Pragyan Ojha as well.

Because we have failed miserably againstqquality teams we need both bhajji and Gambhir back. Please no politics as whatever anyone says gau to is best opener even dhoni is a politician playing failures like rohit raina. .

Even out of form Bhajji will be much better than the inform of overrated Ashwin. The latter is a waste of time and is just fortunate to be in the team.

Harbhajan to lead Rest of India; Gambhir in squad for Irani Troph
by nandu v on Feb 03, 2014 06:24 PM

now rediff should arrange an interview with gambheer. and just ask him why he was not considered as the captain of rest of india.. if harbajan can pick wickets he will be in the INDIAN team. but gambheer will not be selected. politition gambheer can play this kind of troffy.

Ashwin played all five ODIs and got one wicket; still Amit Mishra away from the side without playing a single match.. But that so called Chennai player is still with the team for Test matches..

Ashok Dinda and Pankaj Singh? Why not recall Kapil Dev and Roger Binny from retirement? How many more chances you will give for people like Dinda and Pankaj Singh? They will bowl better than the above two.

Last IPL season he was the third highest wicket taker. So your assessment is wrong that he can't take wickets.

taking wkts in ipl is not important, any one can take wkts when baters r after going for the runs. ipl itself is a waste.
getting wkts in tests is totally different thing.
