Would be hilarious if we lost this from here. I almost want it to happen.

I hate Dhoni. Jadeja can stink up the joint for ages, but Umesh has a bad series after a damn good world cup and he makes this statement. MSD is a fool and a very biased one at that.

Boycott:
Cricket lovers want Bangladesh to succeed, no doubt about that, but you've got to accept that lots and lots of ICC money has been poured into Bangladesh cricket for many years now. And quite honestly, we, the cricketing nations of the world, need to see more from them. Bangladesh have a huge cricket-mad population and I realise it takes time to be able to match the big countries. It's always happened like that - it took time for West Indies, New Zealand, Pakistan after partition, even India were not able to match England or Australia on equal terms in the early days. Now they are.
But none of these countries received a financial help or clout that Bangladesh have had over the years. They've had loads of money. These countries had to make a lot on their own, there wasn't money around, there wasn't television revenue for ICC, or whoever run world cricket, to pour in to India, Pakistan, New Zealand, West Indies when they were in their infancy.
And Sri Lanka, let me tell you. I've forgotten them but I shouldn't because they've been wonderful…they've won a World Cup. I want them (Bangladesh) to enjoy their success but I don't think you need to get carried away, you need to keep it in perspective because more is required. An occasional one-day is lovely but we need more.

Yes, because England never exploited the vast riches of their colonial empire which never included Bangladesh.

MSD was spot on what he said about the quicks. I think the Indian selectors have this habit of picking bowlers who are comparatively quicker than the competition, even if they are not up to the mark. Yadav and Aaron were picked way to early, they should have played a bit more domestic cricket and A tours.

Umesh has always been hit or miss. I always felt that he should have been used as a test specialist, he looks a lot better when he is just attacking the batsmen with complete freedom. Aaron looks weird, with the amount of loose deliveries that he offers, I wonder if it will be a good idea to play both him and Yadav in the same team unless they show plenty of improvement.
And yes, we need to play 2 spinners, regardless of the format and conditions. We do have spin bowlers with good potential, they won't learn to be effective in different conditions unless they are provided with enough opportunities.
Even in domestic cricket, the focus is more on the quicks, most pitches in the last 2 seasons have been tailored to suit pace bowlers, this might hamper the growth of quality spinners.

Haha when I was going through the thread and Raina's bowling came up I was going to make a post about him being the straightest bowler of all time, but it looks like I don't have to now.

Haha I sometimes forget his name just because it's so close to Mushfiqur Rahman. The fact that Mushfiqur Rahim also exists probably isn't helping either.
