India's tour of Pakistan, 2008-09, 3 Tests and 5 ODIs

[cricketfrantic]

I can see ur point but, now since we have a fairly good pool of players we can do with the rotation policy, india is now blooding new faces in test matches I don't think there is a requirement of rest as such.

 

[Leggie]

We should send a team like Karthik, Pathan and Jaffer. Then it will be somewhat interesting.

 

[cricketfrantic]

Yeah n it will make the contest that more exciting, atleast we could agree on something

 

[Leggie]

Joginder Shama, Irfan Pathan, Praveen Kumar, Murali Kartik and Manpreet Gony should be our bowlers. Now that would be fascinating

 

[cricketfrantic]

I think we can still give them a run for their money, irfan pathan already has a hat trick against the same side in a test match provided he gets back to his form, praveen kumar isn't too bad can swing ball both ways, murli kartik if i am mistaken is a decent left arm spinner was called as a one of the best left arm spinner in world by some of the english commentators and michael holding if i am correct, manpreet gony well he is tall can generate some pace, will have the chance to become a national hero and joginder sharma lucky guy for mahender singh dhoni remeber 20twenty world cup.

Murali Kartik is a good enough spinner to play for any other team, Irfan if he can get back up is fantastic, Praveen is in my top three, and Gony is a talent. I say go for it.

I am not at all interested in this series, and I wish the tour doesnt go through. Its just not the same anymore. Its so boring. The contests have lacked spice a lot. Pakistan are not the same team anymore that used to play like tigers against India.

 

[sohum]

Not enough recovery time! This would be right after the England tour, wouldn't it?

 

[Chetan0304]

This is just absolutely crap and Overkill . so much Test and ODI :

anyway i would like to see Pathan back in team and Not R Sharma

I even heard,Pak coach (i forgot his name) saying that its fine even if the series is shifted to India.

 

[Chetan0304]

I read in Times, that BCCI has not yet confirm the tour Please cancel it !:upray It's just so overkill. It's not at all safe to let our players play there.

Nah, send a young team. Virat Kohli, Manoj Tiwary, Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara, Pradeep Sangwan, Piyush Chawla, Mohinish Parmar, Ravi Teja, Uday Kaul, Siddharth Kaul, Ishant Sharma, Praveen Kumar, Pragyan Ojha, Murali Vijay, Dinesh Karthik, Irfan Pathan, Shikhar Dhawan. I would seriously watch that. Would be very interesting.

Honestly Uthappa has been a run machine. Should get an ODI callup soon.

Ravi Teja
+Uday Kaul
Cheteshwar Pujara
Ajinkya Rahane
Manoj Tiwary
*Virat Kohli
Shikhar Dhawan
Piyush Chawla
Ishant Sharma
Pradeep Sangwan
Mohinish Parmar

That's my team. Tried to maintain a cap of 23. If Robin Uthappa comes in, it will be for Shikhar Dhawan.

Alternately, I could simply clone one player and make him the entire 11.
