Don't compare with Dada, who debuted with two centuries. That's too much for Karthik. He simply does not belong there. The score is not important. The class/Technique is. Rather compare with Jafar. He is a class act and certainly deserves his place in the team.

If you see the way he is out in both innings of this test match, it will be clear to you that he does not have the technique to play fast ball. If he continues to play in the team, he will gift a quick wicket to pakistan throuout the series. Shoaib will not more than a couple of over to dismiss him. I know that he is a gutsy player. No doubt on his character, but honestly, he does not have the skill to be an opener. He got runs a few times. It's bound to happen when you keep on playing. That does not prove he is technically good. There are lots of deserving players. He however deserves to be the 2nd wicketkeeper.

If he cannot play fast ball then how come he did well in the last two overseas tests on tour? He and Jaffer gave very good starts and survived the fast bowling which was instrumental in India winning tests abroad recently. Gangly is not good at playing fast ball which is well know, why don't you guys cry for him to be dropped and accomodate Yuvraj?

Frigging idiot. Dada's debut was a decade ago. Karthik is the new generation. He performed well just in the last tour in England. YOu people are suffering from Alzheimers. Discriminators. Idiots.

Hey friggin idiot. So do you watch cricket once in a blue moon. I hope then you saw the last England seires and oveseas tours before that. Karthik and Jaffer were instrumental in giving good starts and winning tests abroad. Opening in tests abroad is the toughest job. I am not surprised that one failure from a South Indian cricketer is all you need to talk about dropping him and accomodating one of your favourite North Indian players.
