Inzi not good enough for Gavaskars XI?

[cricket player]

Why isnt he picked,

 

[magsi23]

Its not just inzi the whole selection is wrong i beleive, Pollock and Smith captains? yeh right, they have left out so many other players who deserved to be in. as much as i was excited about this series, im really disapointed now.

 

[Pratters]

There is already a thread to discuss the super series but I share your sentiment on this CP

 

[mirfan]

Inzi shud`ve been in the side.He deserved that his record over the last 12 months is exceptional.
I don`t think it is a fair selection.on what bases Sachin `s been selected.He might even nt been fit till the series.
If the selection is made for the record over the last 12 months then see that

LAST 12 MONTHS

Player-----------Mat-----------Runs-----------HS-----------BatAv-----------100-----------50
INZI--------------- 7 -------------721 -----------184----------- 65.54-----------3 -------------3
Sachin-----------9 -------------- 664-----------248*-----------55.33-----------1--------------4

Inzi has played less matches caze of less matches played by pakistan and he has faced the test match action quite recently while sachin has been out of the side due to that elbow injury for a while and have nt played much cricket of late and MOREOVER > THE SOLE CENTURY OF SACHIN DURING THAT PERIOD CAME AGAINST BANGLADESH.
SACHIN`s graph is dipping down while Inzi`s climbing high.
How can U justify Sachin instead of Inzi.I`s pure cheating.
Gavasker the head of the selection comettie have certainly given undue chance to Sachin IT WAS INZI`S RIGHT.

 

[Kweek]

because Inzy is a fat c*nt

on a more seriously note...yeah. the selection is a bit weird(pollock whaat) but hey, it happens. and he makes a list of players he thinks are good enough to play or he likes to see play.

who would you leave out for Inzi then?

 

[Pratters]

who would you leave out for Inzi then?

I have already put my squad in an earlier super series thread.

Will have to refer back.

EDIT : Would have to be Kallis. Brilliant record, specially recent but not the best player against Warne and not bowling as good as Flintoff currently.

But batting far better than Tendulkar...

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Inzy shouldn't be in the test side. If it was picked on the last year or two Tendulkar would miss out in favour of Kallis, but Inzy still shouldn't make it. However, he should definately make the ODI side, ahead of Herschelle Gibbs at the least, and probably Sachin and Lara as well.

Which is not the only criteria you think of when selecting a player

You think who is likely to score in a specific match or series. Tendulkar vs Australia or Kallis vs Australia? We differ on this and so be it.

 

[C_C]

If it was picked on the last year or two Tendulkar would miss out in favour of Kallis, but Inzy still shouldn't make it.

if it were picked on the last 2 years, Kumble should also have been there instead of Vettori for the tests.

 

[tooextracool]

ask me and i'll tell you that i'd have chanderpaul in the side ahead of both inzy and tendulkar.

 

[Beleg]

ask me and I'll tell you that I'll have Greame Hick out of retirement as the skipper of the team!

 

[tooextracool]

except that graeme hick hasnt retired yet.

 

[Run like Inzy]

I m so disappointed the selectors have not selected Inzy. His record may be poor against them overall but recently he was injured in the tests and in the ODI's he played crucial innings making 5 50's in the VB series. He should have been in a squad atleast. Inzy always gets put down one level below great. It's such a shame. I've been a huge fan, and although he doesn't always fulfill expectations when he is in form he is as good as the best. I dare say if a batsmen of a similar calibare played for England I think he would have been selected but then again that is another matter.

Since it's a batsman's spot, what else do you look for?

 

[venomous]

He's not picked b/c selection was done by bunch of ridiculous idiots, who are not even familiar with the a-b-c of cricket!...they have based their selection only on their prime priority which is *$$$$$$*....

 

[Run like Inzy]

Yeah the only reason Afridi is in the squad is people will come and watch him. He doesn't deserve. Someone like Shoaib Malik does

It's probably already been mentioned, but here's an interesting article on this..
