Hello Mr.Nascim... see i m the pure indian ok... i m not support for madrasi players like dinesh kartik, M.Vijay, S.badrinath and ashwin... N moreover sorry for ur wrong thinking i m not madrasi... i m born n bought in delhi ok... actually i answer for those who are thinking that selectors had mistake of these player n they are not in form... i always said selectors doin excellent job and dnt blame on him... i appreciate for not these players also included for playes like Abhishek nayar, wridhiman saha and virak kohli... why dnt u people not thinking these players... i know omition of irfan is bad think only anyway i hope he i will back in strong position... Mr.Nascim said i talkin only abt that 4 tamilnadu players not like dat mr. u jus think wats problem for badrinath,vijay n ashwin inclusion... i think u dnt know cricket that much... ashwin is fantastic bowler i m sure if he get chance definetly he proved himself... the only problem is in india is if any players are playin good like two games they are proud him... dats wat mr.nascim proud of dinesh kartik but before that two matches no one talking abt kartik why it is he get chance proved him self dats it... but i m not talking like dat i know abt these players first class carreer n records... eventhough i m sad of omition manish pandey but he have an age to prove him self more strongly... so i m not support for some state i support for who are valuable for INDIA!!!

Dravid been a key player in Indian Side since 1998.. But Our selectors shown a partiality against him for no reason.. He z the only Consistant batsman for a long time for INDIA, but I feel he was not treated well by the selectors.. Its a time for Rahul to Rock again.. Its better to keep him playing till next world cup.. He z the master class and need no explanation about it.. I Hope, He will get a chance in 15 and in 11 squad also.. I wish Him all the best..Atlast, Our selectors found his ability .. He was out of ODI squad for some personal reasons.. It snot fair all the time..Rahul provided his services to INDIAN team nore than any other player (As a batsman n Wicket keeper).. respect him......

Under Dravid's captaincy India won 17 ODI match continously by chasing which is a world record. Dravid won the Test series in Pakistan after 16 years in 2003... while leading India for 1st time, okay? He won the Test series in England as well right before his resignation as captain, India under Dravid was flopped only twice, 1st in South Africa in 2007 and again in thw World Cup '07, but right after the World Cup India won in Bangladesh, won tri-nation tournament against South Africa in Belfast (Ireland), and also won the Test Series in England and Dravid was in great form of his life when he was captain, nobodly else were in such form when they were captain, Dhoni is in good batting form only in ODI but not in Tests but Dravid was successfull batsman in both ODIs and Tests. Dravid's maximum innings were proved as the match-winning knock even from pressure situation Dravid played many match-winning knock and headed India win despite it's batting collapse many times. More importantly Dravid resigned as captain when India was doing very good under his captaincy.

Dravid is not in the team just to play the bounce bowls, his presence in the batting line-up will give a definite boost to the Indian batting line-up, he can save India from any batting collapse, he can bat sensible and positively in any kind of pressure situation... that's why the world call him 'The Wall' and we Indians call him 'Mr. Dependable' as well. We can depend on 'The Wall' in any situation or in any foreign soil, because Dravid is the most succesful batsman in foreign countries more than Indian soil. Dravid is also one of the best fielders in the world, he took the maximum catches in test cricket. What the hell the young guns had done in past 2 years... huh? Only Sachin, Viru, Yuvi and Zaheer were continously performing and that's why India won many matches in last 2 years, and Sachin, Viru, Yuvi and Zaheer they all are senior players, u would say Yuvi a young... okay but he already played 9 years for India from the year 2000 along with Zaheer Khan, so they all are seniors not the young... okay? Now what your young players have done except Gambhir... hah? Gambhir also already played 6 years for India from 2003. Rohit Sharma is totally flopped in international cricket, so it is better for India to drop him as soon as posiible and include Dravid in his place to save Indian cricket dignity with faithfull batting. At least we can be assured that Dravid will play sensible cricket whenever India is in trouble, but we can't expect such things from Rohit Sharma, even we can't have faith on his batting ability but any body in this world will have faith on Dravid's ability.

Dravid was unceremoniously ousted from the team just after failure in one series. Till date I haven't heard one complaint from Dravid in the media. This shows the class of Dravid off the pitch. On the pitch, he is going to show what he is capable of. It is really unfortunate that he missed one & half years of ODI cricket because of some egoistic selectors (Particularly Venksarkar) & Dhoni's young formula.

He is one of the best batsmans in the world, no doubt... I'm a fan of him... Though he was not a very good wicket keeper... But he stood strong behind the stumps to give Indian team more flexibility... I want you back in ODI team as soon as possible... But, somebody wrote about his captaincy, sorry... he wasn't that gr8 captain...

WHO IS THAT BLUDDY INDIAN,DOYOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CRICKET AND DRAVID,HE IS THE MAN WHO COULD PLAY BEAUTIFUL CRICKET SHOTS EVEN AT THE AGE OF 60

Re: Cricbuzz.com: Dravid among Champions Trophy probables

vkk — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 01:43:27 -0000

there is no Manish Pandey, who plays for IPL Bangalore and scored the only cent in IPL-2
Rohit is really a utter waste for ODI Team. He will lose the confidence of other playrs also by giving away his wicket or wasting balls.

They can include sreesanth in the list atleast. Because if there is risk less match, they can check his consistency by giving rest to zak or Ishe

Hi Every one... I see all your comments some of them are really know well cricket some of them are poor in cricket... I dunno why people are blamed n anger with selector srikanth and Dhoni... to be frank it was really amazing selection lot of youngsters are included... Mr.S.K and Don see the selections proparly why u think that 4 players are in from tamilnadu... 1.Dinesh Kartik he is good form right now and he played really good innings in t20 IPL matches for delhi.. he is very talented player now only he got platform in playin XI's... 2. S.Badrinath he got lot of experience in first class carreer, he is in great touch ryt now aslo he proved in ipl t20 but we are not given dat much of chances in india... He is really the Next wall of India after dravid... 3. Murali vijay he got chance once in one test match against australia he is played well on his debut after dat he didnt got any chance for him.. 4. Ashwin people know him very well he is proved on his off spin on IPL.. he played only one match but he is more important on that game... after that we didnt give any chance for him... See these players are really got talent n ready for serve india... my point is selectors really done very well job hands off to srikanth n dhoni...

S Badrinath, M Vijay, Suresh Raina, Dhoni, all from CSK.and Shrikanth is aslo from CSK.Both shrikant and Dhoni are very selfish.....Dhoni doesnt want irfan to be in the playing 11 also ...

indian — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 23:55:10 -0000

I don't think this is a good move from the selectors. The reason is....

1. Dravid hardly played any cric for past two years and his last 10 ODIs cost just 126 runs.
2. If you select dravid in the 30 prob list, you have to select him in the 15 as well as in the playing 11 list. In that case, young legs like raina's and badri's hopes go for a toss.

If you are going to select dravid only for playing short deliveries, it is stupid. Short ball are going to come once in an over, which the inexperience can leave. Or they can work hard on the nets and play well. One thing we need to keep in mind is, the current young team is the foundation of 2011 wc. you can't expect Dravid to come and play in the 2011 wc (at that time he will be 39).
Now i can see the indian team is more of exp rather than the young legs.

Quick question folks... What happens to the fielding of indian team..where sachin and dravid stand in the slips. Dhoni and bowler..remaining 7 should be a live wire in the field. Please think about the remaining 7...injured shewag, injured zaheer, useless munaf..one good fielder is yuvi..how many places he can cover??

Is Pankaj Singh/B Kumar better than Irfan? Irfan has been performing consistently right from the IPL (he bowled a last over to Rohit and didnt give away 11 runs), the World T20 (came and hit 10 runs in 2 balls against Bangladesh, when everyone else was struggling, took Afriidi's wicket in the only game against Pak). With his allround skills, he surely deserves a place in the probables. Lot of guys from TN (Badri, Murali, Ashwin, Karthik), perhaps with the Chairman also being from TN! Bring in Irfan and Sreeshant for Pankaj Singh/B Kumar, Kaif for Rahane, Uthappa for MVijay, Piyush for Mishra).

Its very very bad to Indian team for a Irfan Pathan is not a member of probbabels 30 men champion Trophy squad. Whay Murali Vijay? Because he is aTamil Nadu. Irfan Pathan is genion all rounder. Form is temperory but class is permanant. I am is very sure Irfan Pathan is come very soon very strongly.
