Suresh Raina desrves a place
by cosmopolitan desi on Nov 25, 2007 01:55 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

in ODI team more than anyone, if a vacant spot arises. But Veng(sucker) is trying to push Rohit Sharma ahead of Raina, Manoj Tewari and Badrinath. Kick that hypocrite out of the selector post.

Vengsarkar is right.
Rohit sharma is much better player than raina/badrinath/tewari.
Riana was unnecessray given so many chances during chappel regim

Once they eliminate South Indian cricketers from contention, they start discriminating among themselves. It depends who is the selection committee chairman and who is powerful in the board. That is what happening to those other cricketers. Now Rohit is from Mumbai team. He is good. But there other good players who have been in contention for long. But now he is being pushed at their cost. They destroyed so many cricketers from South, namely Robin Singh,VBC, Sharath and more.. There was one period when South Indian cricketers were given fair chance. There were many cricketers from Karnataka at that time. But most of them deserved their place since Karnataka Ranji team was strong nationally too. PS: I am not a Kannadiga. My parents are from both sides of India.

yes. i think rohit is more prefered over others merely bcoz of vengi. rohit may b good, but others may b much better than him. other strong contenders in young brigade r tiwari, raina, cheteshwar pujara.
