    *Official* - India in West Indies

    Raina has bowled his part time off spin in tests, and to reasonable effect so far.

    *Official* - India in West Indies

    Plus this Indian squad is just about the most meager in terms of part timer bowling resources. No Sachin, Sehwag, Yuvraj(or before that Ganguly). Worth a thought to play a fifth bowler who can bat a bit(choices arent great either) or ? Under the circumstances Raina edges out Badri.He isn't a...

    Afridi vs Pollard vs Y.Pathan

    This thread writes off Pollard as a ****, and he scores a match winning knock :blow:

    Afridi vs Pollard vs Y.Pathan

    I wonder if Irfan Pathan is, in fact, a better overall batsman than Yusuf Pathan in terms of skill. Certainly at the international level considering a big chunk of competent pace bowling that batsmen have to face. (The closest one got to doing a side-by-side comparison is when India won a T20I...

    What a knock by Russell, passed the score they made in the 1st ODI, game is on...

    *Official* - India in West Indies

    Statistically, some unreal stuff here. Last 20 overs have the WI at 41-6 with five maiden overs and no more than 4 runs off any over! Of course not a single boundary. We've seen spectacular batting collapses but this is a slow crumbling down of an innings. Edit: Oh wait, there's still a pulse...

    *Official* - India in West Indies

    Is this the slowest attack put on the field in recent times in an ODI? Munaf's effort ball is 135 kph, and Praveen has never exceeded 130 kph, I dont think. Or has BD done 'better'?

    Most feared cricketers against ur team.

    Md Yousuf from Pakistan?? Has been so-so against India, especially while playing in India. Had two series on either side of his purple patch and did nothing of note. Salman Butt, Misbah, Younis have been more productive against India. In the 2007, Misbah just would not get out. As a batsman...

    *Official* - India in West Indies

    With Gambhir on one end - Parthiv makes it an lhb-lhb combination, Rayudu or even Uthappa - who has top order experience - could've given us the lhb-rhb play... Baffled by Saha, thought that even Bengal plays Shrivats as the WK these days in list A.

    *Official* - India in West Indies

    Don't get why IPL isn't a good preparation for ODIs, no one's rushing this guy into the test team to think of his FC record etc

    *Official* - India in West Indies

    If Harbhajan is rested for the ODI leg of the WI tour - wonder if Rahul Sharma gets in the squad as the second spinner. Has pretty much out-bowled every other spinner in the IPL - has the best ER, period and highest number of wickets amongst spinners. Pretty close to the top of the table in SR...

    Test XI: born overseas

    Filing under learn something every day. Thanks! Safe to say that Durani is the most noted cricketer to play tests for India that was born elsewhere.

    Test XI: born overseas

    Only foreign born cricketers to play tests for India that I can recall are Robin Singh (WI) and Salim Durani (Afghanistan). The former played just one test, but it counts. Anyone else? (barring the subcontinent partition)

    *Official* Indian Premier League 2011

    Rahul Sharma has not conceded more than 29 runs in the IPL and on four occasions less than 15 (including today). No wonder he leads the ER among the main bowlers, at 5.16 and about 0.4 clear of the next guy (Vettori).Taken 13 wickets too in 10 games, so not a shabby SR either. Its only the IPL...

    Who should be next in line for an India test call up?

    Yuvraj & Raina have played only as the sixth batsman and not together. Can be easily argued that with SRT, Dravid, Laxman (& Sehwag, Gambhir) selectors can roll the dice at that slot. The top 3 batsmen in the India B side would be: Pujara, Vijay & Badri (perhaps Kohli). But, the second string...

    Who should be next in line for an India test call up?

    With SRT no longer bowling and Sehwag's shoulder preventing him from turning his arm - part time bowling abilities ought to be considered for this one remaining slot. This is where Yuvraj has his best chance, if any - and Kohli has another edge over Badri. On a different note, Irfan Pathan...

    Sri Lanka Premier League (SLPL)

    Wasn't there a proposed American Premiere League floating around in the US 2 years back?

    Sri Lanka Premier League (SLPL)

    Yeah agree, all those endless India-SL one offs were primarily for the $ benefit of SLC. Even the stuff about SL players in IPL - BCCI had checked on availability woth SLC, thats one of the reasons the players were bid up so much.
