even i admire karthik in the sense that when no one thought beyond dhobi in ind ckt, karthik came on the scene n went on play good innings with bat in sa n then in eng. subsequent performance is not noteworthy n he is flop.
as far as batting is concerned, parthiv is not much behind. in fact, he scored more than 1500 runs this season n that also against all quality opponents scoring 6 consecutive centuries on all the pitches (including overseas pitches in sa/zimb). even he is opening the batting n proved his worth against the best in ipl. the only contention is to gv the chance to the deserved one n parthiv deserves a better chance. nothing against karthik though.
