Dont you think that Ganguly and Dravid should be taken for the tri series?READ THE DETAILS TOO.?

Question

ITS NOT A BIG SERIES AND IT WILL GIVE THEM A CHANCE OF PROOVING THEMSELVES FOR THE LAST TIME AND EVEN SACHIN IS NOT PLAYING SO THE TEAM OBVIOUSLY NEEDS SOME EXPERIENCE OF COURSE,YOU WOULDNT WANT THEM TO END THERE MAGNIFICENT ODI CAREERS JUST LIKE THAT! LOOK AT HOW GILLY RETIRED FROM ODI'S AND TEST.

Answer 1

No, after the IPL they should be given some rest

Answer 2

Hmm...maybe ur right...I guess they had to consider taking them...but let's hope for the best..India won T20 without them so maybe they could bag a win here also...Who knows?

And what do you mean by "LOOK AT HOW GILLY RETIRED FROM ODI'S AND TEST."??????????

From where did he come in between and still I feel tht you think it is something Gilly should be ashamed about...and if you think so..then all I can say is there is something call family and family commitments which is why he retired from the international cricket...he feels tht his family needs him more and has understood his duty well so he retired...It is not a matter of shame!!

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

It's irritating when you type in all capitals! I gather Dravid is your favourite player, well he isn't as good as you think, & Cricket India have more knowledge of their capabilities than you. As for Gilchrist, you say that as though he retired in some kind of disgrace! Nothing could be further from the truth. One of our, & the world's best cricketers retired when he knew it was time to go, his age & family reasons being a big factor in his decision.20/20 only takes up a few weeks of the year, & that is something he did to keep his hand in, so to speak. But don't be surprised if he quits before the next IPL series comes round.

Answer 5

My heart says Sourav should play. And he can be brilliant when he makes that effort. It would be good for Dhoni to have that senior support too.

But it is not to be.

My head says it is better this way. Let India develop the youngsters. They should get exposed to ODIs. They are used to playing T20.

Answer 6

Yes dear you are absolutely right i think Dravid and Ganguly should be given a chance to prove themselves

Answer 7

The next world cup is just 3 years away and it is certain that Sachin, Ganguly and Dravid will not be able to play in the world cup.  Hence it is time to build up a team without these senior players,so that by the time of world cup, India should have a tried and trusted line-up for the world cup.  Hence it is perfectly right decision to drop them and give opportunity to youngsters.

Answer 8

Dravid isn't getting the credit he deserves...its not fair to leave him out of the tri series. He has performed exceptionally well in the IPL........Ganguly was not all that great but he really makes an impact when one in needed....Not having them in the team will be a great loss to the Indian side.........And besides if Sharad Pawar wants youngsters and if he feels that youngsters are the future of Indian cricket then why doesn't he step down and let a youngster be the head of the cricket governing body..........woh toh agriculture minister ho kar cricket ke bare mein baath kar raha hai.....hmmm. hat pawar ke bachche...........

Answer 9

see.they are greats,they HAVE contributed a lot to Indian cricket,but the thing is they will retire in the next few years....so,in order to get a good,competitive team,we have to try new players,youngsters who will do well in the future..we don't want to see a drastic change when our greats leave cricket...Cricket has to continue...Remember,Sourav and Dravid came to the fore only when they were tried in place of other players..These veterans will continue playing test cricket for now because youngsters can't be straightaway tried in that format.Indian cricket has to move on...Sachin,Rahul and Ganguly have given us their best,they have done a lot for our team...but we need to move ahead too...think of the future as well.

Answer 10

Yes, I too think that Sourav and Dravid ought to have been choosen  for the tri series as well as the Asia cup. Their performance in IPL was better than many of the so called youngsters. Their experience and skill has saved India many times in the past, and their very presence may have proved vital in the coming series as well. But one thing is for sure-their performance won't be taken into account . The only consideration for the selectors is that they have passed their prime, which renders them "unfit" for playing ODIs. But the 2 players who have scored more than 10, 000 runs in ODI cricket shouldn't have been insulted in this manner

These 2 living legends of Indian cricket would never be able to return to the ODI team, irrespective of their performance in other forms of the game. Though they deserved to be there, I feel that they should indeed announce their retiremnet from ODIs to save themselves from the disgrace, and the utter humiliation of being ignored from the team again and again.

Answer 11

Nope!

Answer 12

u may b right my dude.....i cant say abt dravid but surely dada shud not b missed.........

Answer 13

They could have been taken, yes. But as you rightly said, it is a good chance for YOUNGSTERS to prove themselves. We have to look at the future, and not sing past glories. Ganguly and Dravid will retire gracefully from Test matches and cricket. They are great icons, and they will not be treated harshly.

Answer 14

I know both Dada & Rahul are great players but their retirement is also close, so there is a need to form a team of new players. For this, the team selectors will 've to give chance to new players and experiment till they get the right combination of players for the Indian team! Dada & rahul 've already proved enough & I don't think they need to prove anything anymore but now i think its time for them to give way to new young players!
