Re: 3rd Test: India v Pakistan at Bangalore - Dec 08
YUP, there is no way kumble is going to play Ishant Sharma i like murli a lot, i might even pick him ahead of harbhajan we might have to go with 3 spinners on the basis of injuries
that leaves us with one medium-fast bowler in pathan hahaha pathan is good for the one days when batsmen have to attack, but i dont know how effective he will be in tests but we have no choice
zaheer made our attack look decent, without him there are no pace bowlers and even he is a fast-medium bowler agarkar will be on his 105th comeback
Why does the friggin selection committee keep going back to the tested-and-failed bowlers I don't know. Ishant Sharma was UTTERLY USELESS against BANGLADESH in a Test Match where RP Singh and Zaheer picked many wickets, How in the world do they expect him to be successful against Pakistan and Australia ? Heck even Joginder Sharma is better than this Sharma.
VRV Singh has got enough chances and has showed us absolutely nothing. He has a decent action and pace, but somehow he hardly picks up any wickets and always seems to go for too many runs.
I liked Praveen Kumar's bowling in the last ODI in Jaipur. He swings the ball bothways. Plus he is a decent batsman. But I see that he has been already forgotten.
Ranadeb Bose has not been given too many opportunities also.
