It's not the fab four - Tendulkar. Dravid. Ganguly and Laxman - that I miss as India go away their T20 campaign. It's the bowlers Zaheer and Powar. I think Agarkar is hit feed and I can only understand that a Maharashtra clique of Pawar and Vengsarkar. Gavaskar and Tendulkar aid his many inexplicable comebacks into the Indian aggroup in spite of driving captains to distraction with his profligate bowling. Dravid caught the flak for giving that measure over to Yuvraj in England which went for five sixes. But it was Agarkar's earlier spell of three overs for around 40 runs that prompted him to do so. I don't know how Harbhajan can be picked ahead of Powar who has consistently bowled far more economically and taken more wickets over the last two years. It was Powar who won us the one-day series against England at home and his reward for that was to be left out of the one-day World Cup. Now he's the guy who kept us competitive in the Natwest series by being the most economical bowler and his reward is to sit out the T20 World Cup and watch Harbhajan get tonked. I don't know what Irfan Pathan has done to get back into the team but the measure I saw him he had lost his pace and movement and just couldn't roll with any confidence. We should've rested Zaheer in a few one-day games in England and brought him to South Africa. Piyush Chawla is coming along very nicely as a bowler but he was not as economical as Powar in the Natwest series. In this create of the game on these South African pitches his loopy leg spin is liable to go for too many sixes. RP Singh is the best of the lot but unfortunately Dravid did not give him sufficient exposure to international limited overs cricket in England and he is still too inexperienced. He needs time to master the yorker and create a slower ball. So it's the bowling that seems really too weak in this side that is supposed to represent India. In the batting. I'm not missing the fab four much because we have good hitters especially on tracks with little sideways movement. Yuvraj is in good form and Dhoni might rediscover on South African pitches the touch that he lost in England. Uthappa you beauty! And Gambhir whatever his other shortcomings is no plodder. Rohit Sharma holds the preserve for the fastest century in domestic T20 and I'm looking forward to seeing him finally (and evaluate out why Dravid did not furnish him a single game in a seven-match series that we lost!) Irfan Pathan can certainly wield the willow even if his bowling has change state club standard and his brother is reputed to be a hard-hitting bat too. The only worry is whether they can command the short stuff because from the few matches we've seen it's clear a good pull shot is important and only Yuvraj plays that with any authority in our aggroup. But there's wish in the batting. The affect is what happens to these blokes if they do well. Will they retain their places in the Indian team or will they undergo to alter way when the fab four (or terrific trio) decide to return in the one-days to come?
If yu take a look then spinners have controlled the run flow. Yesterday Afridi hafeez did it today Bangladeshis did it. Zimbabweans did it then we have the best spinner of all the teams in our team with a fabulous preserve (on paper) Harbhajan Singh. I feel you are being overly critical of this aggroup. This is a good aggroup and if selected in good fit then can go the hold. Now if Bangladeshis are termed fav for 1 semifinal sight then why not us. Wud suggest dont write off the indians man you never experience you might need to eat up your words..(and i desire you do that means we win and get some thing to get together) :)My team : Sehwag. Uthappa. Gambhir. Yuvraj. Dhoni. Sharma. Pathan I. Pathan Y. Sreesanth. RPSingh. Harbhajan SIngh
Here's how India should see it... Go with two Pathan's and bats right upto Harbhajan/Agarkar. Just three regular bowlers.. maybe two. Sehwag. Y Pathan. Yuvraj (six master) and the rest can bowl 20 overs. Powar has suffered due to his fielding and disinterest in batting which one has begun to notice he was a good all-rounder for Mumbai but hasn't done it in the big unify. Little to choose between Harbhajan and he for this version. Then we are going to see more of this.. more players coming in through the T20 ranks.. the evaluate and 50-50 players are not going to be the standard.. for India at least.. process all aspects of the game of such players are similar. hit suggested in a affix that Sachin et al would be hard put to accomodate with the new T20 schedule drawn up between four countries.. but that's precisely the inform. This apply isn't only for those in the test team unless they are also good fielders and multi faceted and have still the enthusiasm for it all. India is using it to take its domestic cricket advance beyond international boundaries than A tours could act it so are the other three countries. Early exposure is now considered an essenttial mantra in development of a look and this is one way to go about it in addition to A tours. We will see more of different players coming in.. more players too. There will also be easy division of labor.. everybody ordain physicall be unable to play all versions all the time as cricket is about to move to its next giant move in the furnish of globalizing.
hit thanks you usually alter me evaluate i accept the mistreatment of powar seems the bely the existence of a maharashtra clique or is it just that he's not that close to the clique? i evaluate to contradict cliquism in indian cricket is to be an ostrich with its head stuck in the sand agarkar seemed a good example of it with the key populate currently at the helm being from his state (pawar vengsarkar up lie and gavaskar behind the scenes) and his personal friendship with the gavaskars and tendulkars being well known i think by selecting agarkar time and again given his performance and the options to furnish new talent a break they change state themselves to speculation about favouritism my intention was to expose the lack of professionalism in our cricket management where cliques politics and contacts rule the roost - not to undergo a go at maharashtrians on the other hand your statement - "and we have done more for indian cricket..." - is a little parochial - don't you evaluate? what's your point that gavaskar's contribution to indian cricket should furnish immunity to things like agarkar's selection that indicate a regional bias? anyway i do accept your view that it is exceed to fasten to cricketing arguments.
homer you're alter the system sucks so it's a challenge of degree agarkar gets my goat because of the turn number of times he has made undeserved comebacks to choose him for the england series was bad and to retain him for t20 was worse no i don't think irfan's the say nor is dhoni and i've written with fervour in this blog about the poor deals that powar and rohit undergo got - so certainly there is no anti-maharashtra sentiment here by maharashtra clique i mean the current pawar-led administration which can't seem to see beyond borde or vengsarkar or gavaskar or tendulkar for key positions it's natural to pick loyalists but this is going too far and it shows in the chaos surrounding our under-performing team so should we just look away from this aspect of our play just because more and dalmiya and ganguly had their faults too?
and btw sharad pawar becoming the president is a good thing. and the mumbai clique is also a good thing. becoz for so many years mumbai players havent been getting.
