Hemang Badani

It was a duplicate account of some Indian member from that period. I don't remember who though now.

My guess would be 'Sehwag309'.

Nah, surely not, Rajeev, who posted as Sehwag309 for a time, returned shortly after his banning. He doesn't post much these days, though.

He was never troublesome, just linked once too often to illegal material.

Just had a look, the boss seemed to think he was ReallyCrazy.

Ah well - I'm not too bothered, was just mildly interested to see whether it was another wahindiawah\nehrafan, which seems to definitively not be the case.

Yeah, you are absolutely right and I am 100% sure now that it was indeed Reallycrazy.

Never understood why Badani never played more for India....

He was a good player ....deserved more opportunities (at least at Odi level anyway). I think he's given up on an Indian cap given that he's joined ICL.

Anyone know why he was just cast away like that ?
Swaranjeet, Arunava, Jonathan Augustus, Bharani ???

I think some other guys seemed to perform at the right times, compared to him. Kaif, for example.. Badani had replaced him in the Australian tour and did well in the finals, and in the next ODI we played, against Pak, Kaif came back from injury and he got to bat at 6 and make a 40 odd on a very easy deck... Badani came at 7, slogged one boundary and stayed not out (he came in in the last over or so).. But next game, he got dropped and that was the end of that.

Even I am not sure why.......

Yeah, true now I think about it (which I hadn't before). Real shame, as I always liked Badani, and Kaif was never fit to lace his boots as a batsman in the longer form.
