RE:Its very Sad
by Govind Raj on Dec 27, 2006 07:59 PM

There is a factual error in this article. Ajith Agarkar was not given chances just like that. He was India's highest wicket taker in 3 of the 7 ODI series India have played since he made a come back in Zimbabwe. He has taken wickets even while going for runs and his strike rate [number of balls for every wicket]is the best for any Indian bowler barring Pathan.
Agarkar has over 260 wickets in ODIs. He is easily our best fielder in the deep by miles. One of the safest catchers in the history of Indian Cricket. Though his batting has taken a beating in recent years, he still has some fire left in his bowling. He was our best bowler during the last West Indies ODI series. If physically fit, he deserves to be part of Indian ODI team to the WC-07.
He should never be selected to play tests again
