The report further questioned whether it is wrong to be exalted in someone's celebration when they are pointing towards their own dressing room.
Yeah not bad stats there either but see they've given him a test.
Took them ages to though, and it was a bit of a sham - final innings concussion sub replacement and he batted 7 below the keeper.
Wow. Is it even wrong to be exalted in someone's celebration when they are pointing towards their own dressing room?

This makes no sense. It shows he is good on slow low pitches but you cant pick a batsman for just one type of conditions.
I mean it's perfectly fine though? Very few batters that have come into the team setup have been lower than 5, and those that have have been the likes of Saha, Jadeja and Pant among a few others. Batting at 5 generally means he is on average not playing the better bowlers as often in tougher conditions, and Ranji bowlers are generally worse than Test level bowlers from opening to 5th options. It's a fair question to ask if he's been sufficiently tested like most of the other current and past Indian Test batters picked solely for batting.
Something may be lost in translation, but no matter how many times I read this it doesn't make sense,
Shantanu Sugwekar averaged 63.10 with over 6.5k runs in his FC career but never picked for India
No - hes overweight. Looks matter dont they? Most of the guys coming in- they meet the BCCI 'mould' after all BCCI is an industry that has to make money selling tickets and product endorsements.
he was pointing to his coach Muzumdar for celebration here with whom he has a good rapport, cannot believe this has become a controversy now
Obviously political as selectors need some justification for his omission after being called out by Sunny and others
They meant excited right
on the other hand most blokes even batting five in domestix aren’t running around with an eighty average
That's fair, but this isn't something unique to Sarfaraz though, there've been batters with good numbers lower down the order who can't get in. And even then, it's not like Sarfaraz will never get a game. He just has to step it up more and make it more embarrassing for people to ignore.
i think the the jist of his point is that the manufactured controversy about the pointing thing is sort of running interference for the selectors, hiding them from any criticism
