Is Jesse Ryder brother a batter or bowler??

Tbh, I'm not too disappointed about the non inclusion of Praveen Kumar. He is a talented bowler, but he is young and did not have the best of seasons. He was clearly not in top form in the Ranji Trophy and therefore did not earn his selection. 18 wickets at 37.11 is not form worthy of Test selection. Moreover, he missed a few games for injury and it is not worth picking someone for their debut if they have not fully proved their fitness. The selections of Dhawal Kulkarni and Balaji are extremely promising as they show the BCCI showing faith in domestic cricket performances. Dhawal's 49 wickets at 22.02 and Balaji's 43 wickets at 19.06 are both brilliant efforts and it is good that they have been rewarded.

Pretty good, although I would have Fulton at 3 replacing Franklin unless his bowling is now up to scratch, but would deffinately have McCullum or Ryder down the order and Guptil opening.

Offspinner Harbhajan Singh predicted a one-day whitewash that could propel India to the top of the rankings.
"I am sure that we will beat New Zealand 5-0 to become the No1 team in the world," he said. "I don't know what type of pitches we are going to get in New Zealand, but basics always remain the same.

I am glad that international cricketers don't get an IQ test before they're eligible to play, for I can imagine people like Harbhajan, Symonds, Asif, McGrath etc easily being disqualified.Offspinner Harbhajan Singh predicted a one-day whitewash that could propel India to the top of the rankings.

From one bunch of arrogant pricks to another (though tbf the Indians on the whole are probably much better than the Aussie team in terms of humility).Offspinner Harbhajan Singh predicted a one-day whitewash that could propel India to the top of the rankings.

Why is Harbhajan such a weak-willed flip-flopper? The Indian team's arrival in 2002 was caught on a reality TV programme called Border Patrol, and Harbhajan was told to clean his cricket boots by customs officials, as they were caked with dirt. He arrogantly declared he'd never visit NZ again. Yet, here we have him making his usual ****wit predictions as though he is - shock horror - going to tour.
Money does strange things to even the most arrogant of upstarts.

Do you fart? That's bigger threat to biosecurity than dirt on your shoes. No offence intended, just plain fact.
Oh in case you don't fart at all, then you are a ticking eco-time-bomb.

Anything could be on your shoes, what if some form of insectiside, some random insect etc was on them? I doubt you fart insects or poisonous chemicals, unless you have some eating habits you'd like to tell us about
EDIT: and as a good Otago lad Susu, I would have thought you'd known this.
