indian selectors and their whimsical selections
by sridhar ranganathan on Nov 21, 2007 02:11 AM

Pathan could have been brought back instead of Munaf Patel It appears Indian Selectors' mindset
does not change be it the joker Raj Singh Dungarpur or the seasoned Dilip Vengsarkaar.
One of the greatest blunders and crime committed by the selectors in the past was with Ramnath Parkar who was Sunil Gavaskar's opening partner.He was an outstanding fielder in the covers and was IGNORED inspite of his outstanding performance in domestic cricket
He was selected for the inaugaral Prudential cup
in England and just a few days before the team left for England Parkar was dropped and Parthasarathy Sharma was selected!!!!!!!! to go to England for the world cup.
That Selector who committed this grave sin should hang his head in shame and if he has to atone for his sins should financially help the late family of Ramnath Parkar.
