Does Javagal Srinath Warrants a Spot in an Indian All-Time ODI Team?

[cnerd123]

oh don't get me wrong, I've watched them play and am well aware of their great moments. But I've never broken down their stats to figure out if they belong into an ATG XI because they don't even enter the conversation on account of being fixers.

I also avoid glorifying their best performances because they do not deserve to be remembered fondly. They lost that privilege when they sold out the game.

 

[Arachnodouche]

For a while after the 96 quarter-final, everyone believed Jadeja (and then Robin Singh too after some improbable (almost?) chase against Zim in a tri-series in South Africa) could pull India out of the fire, however dire the situation. I think he did alright by whatever talent he had but the fixing ought to have made him and Azhar pariahs in public life.

*****: staunchly anti-fixing, except when it's his Hong Kong lads apparently

This is just sour grapes that your Namibia side lost to HK in Jimmy's sim tournament

Sorry can't hear you over the sound of JP Kotze bombing yet another one half way to Walvis Bay

srinath is in the conversation but i think he's getting nostaglia treatment. his record is good but he played in a much more forgiving era for odi bowlers. he has been surpassed.

rohit can submit his cv to this side when he can play on something that isn't a motorway. absolute supreme spud away from home. always feels good to see 'rohit sharma' on the scorecard in a meaningful game. likewise, ganguly is pure trash against the moving ball. how the **** averages over 40 as opener idk. decent 5th bowler tho, could bung him at #6 out of harms way. the scary grass might hurt his feelings.

i can understand putting ravi jadeja forward. he is at worst the fourth scariest cricketer in the indian side after kohli, bumrah and shami. every time that **** appears on the field i clench. the guy is a troll and a winner.

im surprised shikhar dhawan isn't getting mentions. he's actually good.

FLOPdulkar
dhawan
dravid (get over it he's fine, and against other atg sides being good outside motorways will have actual value)
kohli i guess
dhoni
yuvraj
kapil
jadeja
kumble
shami
bumrah

i really want zaheer and sehwag in there though. let's be honest we don't need kohli aka slips practice.

 

[harsh.ag]

3/10 effort. Gotta be more subtle.

 

[Flem274*]

i genuinely think all of the above, i just dialed up the scorn.

 

[mr_mister]

Sachin 6
Nohit
Kohli
Ajay Jadeja
Azharuddin *
Hardik Pandya 3
Dhoni +
Kapil 2
Kumble 4
Kuldeep 5
Bumrah 1

12th man Yuvraj
13th man Raina

Can Srinath get in here as the match referee instead?

 

[srbhkshk]

I wonder if there's value in looking at Srikkanth as one of the extra batsman - his record doesn't hold up to current standards obviously, but I can see *****'s point about Raina.

 

[srbhkshk]

So basically something like -

Sachin
Rohit
Srikkanth
Kohli
Yuvraj
Dhoni
Sehwag
Kapil
Kumble
Zaheer
Bumrah/Shami

 

[honestbharani]

If Srikkanth plays, he has to open. Same with Sehwag. And they really were not that flash in the format. More players of great knocks but honestly, relative to the batsmen we have produced in the format, mediocre overall. I really do think Raina at 6 adds more to an Indian AT ODI XI than Sehwag or Srikkanth do as openers.

 

[ImpatientLime]

find the common acceptance of zaheer>srinath in odis a bit weird tbh

 

[Red]

Shikhar Dhawan
Sachin Tendulkar
Virat Kohli
Yuvraj Singh
Rohit Sharma
MS Dhoni + *
Kapil Dev
Ravi Jadeja
Anil Kumble
Zaheer Khan
Jasprit Bumrah

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I can't understand why Ganguly is in so few of these teams. He was a much better ODI batsmen than many of those mentioned, a decent captain and useful medium pacer.

 

[Flem274*]

he's scared of grass

Always remember sehwag used to bash pakistan especially in ICC events. Would fail against everyone else in the tournament

Has an excellent world cup record. 44 wickets in 23 games at 20 apiece. CT record is really good too.

He wouldn't be the only one and this is for ODIs
