hi every body,till yesterday i think selectors have brain from today onwards i think selectors need to join mental hospital.what is the use of dineesh karthik.either dhoni will with one glouse and karthik will wear one more glouse.and next sewag.selecrtors need to bring the statstics of the worldcup and Recent 20 20 world cup they will just compare the statstics with yuvraj,dhoni and shewag then u know who will best.ok dhoni is a captain that is not a problem.and one more thing rohit sharma didn't played even single match in england and present 20 20 world cup till now. but selectors decide he will unfit.just remove ediot karthik.ramesh power will have one berth in 15 memebers squad because of sharad power.because both r power's that is the reason.select just use brains not poltics.india already come back from worldcup this reason only.

I agree with you that the selectors r unfair with Rohit sharma. He should hav been given a chance in one day squad( or atleast in this T20 tourni ) which will help to gauge his performance and talent. When players like Ajit agarkar is playing for India, no one can save India.( selecting him for T20 is heights of stupidity ). But there is nothing wrong in keeping Karthik in the squad. He had shown enough potential as a player( apart from his wicket keeping skills ) till the one day series in Eng.( that too he was experimented with his batting position and if you take the statistics, he had saved a lot of ODIs for India in his usual 7th position ). Also he captained and performed well for TN team which won the T20 tournament( the only one tourni, which was conducted in India so far between the regional states like ranji trophy ). So he looks like a player for the Future and its unfair to abuse him just becoz of one bad series( afterall he was the highest scorer in the Recent test series against Eng ).

Let Dinesh Karthik come in Alien age and play for India. We are talking about the present and BCCI is just like a Travel Agent who is making onsite travel arrangements for player like Dinesh Karthik. Show me Dinesh Karthik performance apart from S.Africa tour and we are talking about International 20 20 match and you are giving statistics about TN 20 20 match. Actually he is a state level and not a national level

We have'nt played 20-20 match after that SA tour( till this T20 WC )... Only T20 tourni after that was that national level event where all the states from India are divided in to 2 groups and played. If Ranji trophy is considered the ebtry ticket to Indian Test/ODI team, this tourni does'nt look inferior to any of these.( infact all the Indian team players played for their respective sides in this tourni ).
OK... lets take ODIs. Ever since he was recalled to the ODI team, look at the following statistics.
1) saved the T20 match Vs SA 2) saved the 2nd ODI Vs WI in home series. 3) Almost got to the sight of victory Vs SL in the next ODI series. 4) Saved a ODI(along with Yuvraj) Vs SA in the 3 match ODI series in Ireland. 5) Saved the 1st ODI of the series Vs Bangladesh( with Dhoni ). 6) Even in this poor ODI series against Eng, he played sensibly in the 1st ODI( 45 N.O ), but it went on a losing note and no one was there to support him. 7) Apart from this he is very consistent in Tests.
For a player who showed lots of promise and composure, its unfair to gauge his performance just becoz one bad ODI series. He'll rock...
