*Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

[Manee]

Mukund goes...

The decision of sending Saha as back up wicketkeeper now seems even more ridiculous.... With Pathiv Patel at least they would have had a back up opening batsman.

Not expecting much for VVS here.

What about Dinesh Karthik. He was superb with the bat in 2007.

 

[Anku31]

I wonder if Indian would have opened with Dravid & Laxman.

 

[pup11]

mukund is a ****ing ****

Tbf to him he has got solid FC stats...

 

[Cevno]

Mukund is still a work in progress tbf.

 

[BlazeDragon]

As long as he does the job, i don't care.

But you can't blame others for bashing him though.

What about Dinesh Karthik. He was superb with the bat in 2007.

His keeping has gone downhill since than and hasn't been in very good batting form either.

 

[Prad100w]

Its important for the likes of Dhoni, Yuvraj and Raina to play their natural game here rather than just looking to prod. Poor shot from Mukund. Pushing at the first ball without any footwork at all.

 

[pup11]

Bresnan should have opened the bowling IMO...

 

[Anku31]

The decision of sending Saha as back up wicketkeeper now seems even more ridiculous.... With Pathiv Patel at least they would have had a back up opening batsman.

Absolutely.Patel was a much much better option.

 

[oitoitoi]

mukund you ****. now laxman in way way too early...

 

[Cevno]

Patel is not too good.

 

[Anku31]

2 overs.We need a run on the board.

 

[NasserFan207]

Bresnan should have opened the bowling IMO...

Agreed

 

[benchmark00]

Swann gone for x-ray.

 

[Prad100w]

The real key would be to see off Andersen. The guy is bowling beautifully. Broad didn't look like swinging it all that much.

 

[Manee]

Tbf to him he has got solid FC stats...

His awful performance against West Indies should have shown that he was not Test level.

 

[oitoitoi]

Absolutely.Patel was a much much better option.

indeed, saha hasn't impressed me with his keeping and Patel far and away the superior bat

 

[Manee]

His keeping has gone downhill since than and hasn't been in very good batting form either.

Yeah. His keeping has gone downhill, but he had the priceless attribute of being proven in English conditions in Tests. His batting in that series was really quite exceptional.

 

[Anku31]

Test for Dravid & Laxman.Just get through these 16 overs.

 

[R_D]

Patel is not too good.

Still better than Saha though.... I'd rather have Patel opening batting and Dravid coming in at one down and VVS at his usual position and no Yuvraj in the test team.
