well, exceptional for a 16 year oldYeah. 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.
Played 2 good knocks in a low scoring series. Vijay was awful , not him.His awful performance against West Indies should have shown that he was not Test level.
I'm talking about Karthik in 2007.well, exceptional for a 16 year old
Yes, as soon as Mukund departed.As tense and pissed with Mukund as I am, this is Test cricket at the highest level atm.
He wasn't 16 in 2007.well, exceptional for a 16 year old
Was a low scoring series due to poor batting on both sides, imo. But that is my opinion and one I can see the majority disagreeing with, so fair enough.Played 2 good knocks in a low scoring series. Vijay was awful , not him.
Yes, as soon as Mukund departed.
Thought he was talking about Patel in 02, yeah karthik did a fantastic job in 07, but he hasn't really taken his game forward, he's had loads of chances, will have to score mountains of runs to get anotherHe wasn't 16 in 2007.
Agree.Thought he was talking about Patel in 02, yeah karthik did a fantastic job in 07, but he hasn't really taken his game forward, he's had loads of chances, will have to score mountains of runs to get another
As an opener in Tests, he showed potential. But in every other format and position, he has flopped with the bat. Akhtar screwed him up in Pakistan after England 07 though, a couple times, and he never returned to the position. I recall that series, Akhtar had huge arms imaginable and looked like he was struggling to run in to bowl - still too quick for Karthik though.Thought he was talking about Patel in 02, yeah karthik did a fantastic job in 07, but he hasn't really taken his game forward, he's had loads of chances, will have to score mountains of runs to get another
I think Uday Kaul is someone who could have been given a chance.He has been ignored even for the emerging squad even after doing reasonably well last season.Thought he was talking about Patel in 02, yeah karthik did a fantastic job in 07, but he hasn't really taken his game forward, he's had loads of chances, will have to score mountains of runs to get another
how brilliant is asad rauf? My favorite person on the field, given the two exceptionally ****y teams playing.
