Ravindra Jadeja called up to ODI squad
Ravindra Jadeja, the left-arm allrounder, has been called up to India's ODI squad in England as a replacement for the concussed Gautam Gambhir. Suresh Raina has been named vice-captain of the squad.
Gambhir had sustained a head injury during the fourth Test against England at The Oval, when he fell backwards while dropping a catch. He could not open in either innings of that match, batting in the lower order as India slumped to a 0-4 defeat in the series. Although he was injured on August 20, the decision to send him home was taken only now.
"He [Gambhir] was diagnosed with mild concussion by the attending sports physician and neurologist, and sent for a precautionary CT and MRI scan of his head and neck, which was reported as normal," the BCCI said. "He has been resting since and his symptoms have improved.
"However, he still complains of some visual disturbance and inability to focus on an object for long. Gautam has been advised to take rest and is expected to recover spontaneously without any further medical intervention."
Jadeja's previous ODI appearance was against New Zealand in December 2010, after which he was overlooked for the tour of South Africa and the 2011 World Cup. Jadeja is the latest in the list of replacements India have had to call to England because of injuries to first-choice players. RP Singh, Varun Aaron and Ajinkya Rahane had already replaced Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, Virender Sehwag, while Rahul Dravid, who was India's best batsman in the Test series, was included out of the blue as a reinforcement.

where are players like Pathan Brothers,Uthappa and many more who are really forgotten--what is going on with selection panel here? Have we forgotten the player who almost took India to Victory in South Africa single handedly with Zaheer left on the other hand with his guts and will power and "Can do attitude"- these guys give 100 percent whether they bat,bowl or field......The guy Pathan butchered some of the finest bowlers in world cricket in their own backyards...Come do some justice and give these guys few more opportunties to mature into a world class match winners.......!!!!

Sachin and Rahul should have been rested.Sachin is playing for his 100th international century,a selfish move as he failed miserably in test series.It's time to include young blood like Valthaty,Uthappa,Manoj Tiwari,Rayudu,Manish Pandey,Chawla.Since Sehwag,Yuvraj,Gambhir,Zaheer are unavailable,sachin and rahul should have been dropped to give young blood a chance.Rahane is selected ahead of above as he was backed up by sachin.Indian cricket is going wrong way and it will be difficult to come to the standards set from 2001 till 2010.

If IND celebrated batsmen could last for 50 overs, IND may have a chance to win against ENG in their forthcoming ODI. If IND loose the ODI, it will prove that being WC2011 champions is a fluke as IND acsendency to "PAST" #1 ranking in Test was.

I don't understand why some people think Karthik is a good choice. Time again he has failed to capture his opportunities. He is 1 in 10 game wonder just like Yusuf Pathan. I dont think Badri is right choice. We need young fresh talent. Also, if Rahane and Sharma fire, India can put up fairly good performance.
Lodhi on September 1, 2011, 23:26 GMT
On what basis did selectors have drafted Ravindra Jadeja as replacement.. He had played last for india in 2010.. At current india need a All rounder Like Yusuf pathan or Iqbal Abdullah,they both can open the bolwing as we have seen in IPL also.. They have proven then self in Domestic also.. There is a big question mark on selectors for not giving chances to Irfan,Utapaha,Tiwary,Yusuf who had proven them self in IPL and Domestic.. Wake Up selectors unless its too late again like Test series..Already we had lost T-20 As well..

Seems like this guy has improved a lot in his batting. Will wait and see.
Prem on September 1, 2011, 14:42 GMT
Dhoni doing favoritism; an unfit, vacationing, non-centrally contracted RP flown in place of selecting the bowler on tour, and now the worst player India have played in the last five years. I see no other way, apart from the captain's insistence, that this man could have found a place in the Indian side.
Dummy4 on September 1, 2011, 14:07 GMT
India got nothing to lose - DUDEs ,, world champs of one day cricket - highest century owner of both formats in sachin - MSD the owner of a DOCTOR rate - will definitely bounce back soon - just that they do have a bad period like any other team - )
TR on September 1, 2011, 13:37 GMT
@aravabalaji, Yes, RJadeja is an ALL-ROUND'R ... all zeros. Dhoni really doesn't want to give chance to any Chennai players. Even in CSK team he killed many good opportunities for Badri by sending him at the bottom of the order. He gives rare chances to Ashwin and withdraws it at crucial matches.
mathar on September 1, 2011, 12:32 GMT
india have lot of spinners but after kumble, anyone would't fill his place in test.Allrounder ravindra jadeja domestic perfomance is good. But his batting & bowling is ordinary in range.So it doesn't use in international Cricket. Now we need new well Spinner Allrounder like iqbal abdullah, he talented bowling and batting.

Dummy4 on September 1, 2011, 11:58 GMT
Irfan has lost the plot with the ball, and CLEARLY Jadeja is the BETTER BATSMAN so his selection is justified. He probly wont get a game but wait and see if he does im sure he'll do well
aravamuthan on September 1, 2011, 11:34 GMT
Like RP, Jadeja could be Dhoni's choice. He will use him as a ploy to make Ashwin's place in the team uncertain. Past history tells that. In a particular series, he bencked Ashwin and kept on playing Jadeja even after dismal performance, saying that he has no choice. Perhaps he's helping Harbajan by proxy. For Dhoni, Ashwin & Badri are destined only for CSK!
Dummy4 on September 1, 2011, 11:06 GMT
Hey guys can u please tell me whether Jadeja also has attended Doni's marriage ceremony or not like Raina and R.P.Singh and Wriddhiman Saha
Dummy4 on September 1, 2011, 11:02 GMT
Jadeja is a perfect all rounder! He can not either ball or bat however there is only one lacunae that he can somehow field
nikhil on September 1, 2011, 10:31 GMT
why was a bowler like karthik neglected for test series and why is uthappa being neglected when he is in good form
wajahath hussain on September 1, 2011, 10:28 GMT
friendship matters in selection.. RP Singh very good friend of MSD first got a ticket in the team later in the playing 11 without playing any competitive cricket since ages.. may be Jadeja might be a gud friend of MSD or any selector..if any more casualty i wont be surprised if i see srikant's son in the team. bye bye Irfan ur future is finished like that of kaif please concentrate on county cricket u will certainly get some respect.
malkeet on September 1, 2011, 10:26 GMT
saurabh tiwari, irfan, yousuf- all good allrounders.....bt the situation is the case of allrounder is always misunderstood in our country....u dont need a century or a 5-for from an allrounder every time he goes out....he helps u as an extra batsman and an extra bowler.....bt we always see whether somebody is givng a big performance or not......look at angela mathews..he might not have taken many 5 wicket hauls or made centuries..but he is a very imp part of SL team at present and they r persisting with him when he does not do well......in india we r always looking 4 stars....eg ajit agarkar was initially tkaen as an allrounder in indian team....and he started with 50 ODI wickets in no time..and he becomes our no 1 bowler(even in tests sometimes)....and when he failed with the ball...he was shown the door....same is the case with irfan.....my point is that making centuries and taking most wickets should be done by main batsmen and bowlers respectively..allrounder is 4 balance of team..

I certainly believe jadeja hasnt played to his potential in whatever chances he got but so didnt Yousuf pathan or Irfan or Uthappa (love to see him playing for india) did .. But team india is compelled to recall jadeja since they are playing with four such bowlers who cant be relied on to complete their own qouta of overs.. with no yuvraj in team it becomes even more difficult.. jadeja having shown some batting prowess in ipl n shit he looks a sensible choice (i certainly wont count Irfan as allrounder, who has been injured more often than not ) but he gotta play way better than what he did last tym he got a chance... Hope he has sorted his mind being outta team for some tym... he certainly seems talented having started his career with lots of promise.. its his chance of making it big or go into wilderness for ever.. with everbody slamming him left right n center it wudnt be a bad sight to if he comes out strong and proves a point to one n all (Myself Included)...
Dummy4 on September 1, 2011, 9:42 GMT
great dhoni is showing his vision......with help of selectors selecting great talents like jadeja who cant spin n cant bat .........we are moving forward to darkness of failure...yesterday captain cool defended ipl as an agent of bcci..i dnt knw why i never hear a single criticism frm dhoni about ipl.......zaheer,sehwag all lost dut to ipl.....his batting is now pathetic..ipl standard
Dummy4 on September 1, 2011, 9:14 GMT
Total Non Sense. Shame on selectors. God help Indian Cricket and Indian Talents. Pathans, karthik, Uttapa, Tiwary. Pujara, Badrinath, yuvraj, rahane, all are meant to be future of indian Cricket and This Selectors are responsible for not exploring the tallents of these guys. No wonder if Anirudda Srikanth Comes to intl level just by 1-2 good performances.

Trueness of Gmabhir injury will come to light, if he opts to captian his KKR side in qualifier match to play in champions league.......l fear whether he will follow shewag to play ignoring the injury and skip the australian tour...
Dummy4 on September 1, 2011, 8:30 GMT
Why irfan pathan? Has he been playing in domestic season. He has not played any domestic game after IPL. He is not capable enough to play for his domestic team Baroda and people want him to give direct ticket to Indian Team. Yousuf Pathan already had given many chances and his performance in WI is enough to keep him away from Indian Team. He is not doing any good either in domestic season. RJ: Could be a good choice as allrounder and performed well in domestic season. Current batting stats: 60,181,32,42,18,47 Bowling stats:6/64,4/52,2/33. He was an obvious choice for selectors if you show his performance in recent season.
Ambati rayadu has lost his chance as he failed in emerging players tournament. SS Tiwari, manoj tiwari are the unlucky one as there is no vacany in middle order. The real shocker is Shikhar dhawan not being selected. He is playing exceptionally well in domestic season and struck good century in Emerging tournament. He should have replaced gambhir.
Dummy4 on September 1, 2011, 8:08 GMT
Makes absolutely no sense. Dhoni has been wanting seven batsmen in the side and then when one of them is out, we bring in a lad who is neither good with the bat or the ball. The stats might say Jadeja is a good player but sorry, he never brought anything good to the team. All I remember of Jadeja is that he would bowl out the weak tailenders and then play a 60-ball 40 when all is lost.
shefil on September 1, 2011, 7:56 GMT
oooff the result is 10 - 0
praful on September 1, 2011, 7:22 GMT
what a disgrace. Jadeja has no value in the Indian team and each time he has been picked has made no significant contribution. how come SAURABH TIWARY never gets a chance?? Sort it out BCCI.
Blue on September 1, 2011, 7:16 GMT
Now Iam confident India will looose alll their matches, Ravindra Jadeja has already helped India in loosing soooo many matches & he will do the same.Dhoni has been slowly trying to finish of careers of some good players silently Ex.Yuvraj Singh, Yousuf Pathan, Dinesh Karthik.......... the list goes on.
Karthik on September 1, 2011, 7:08 GMT
Ravinder Jadeja? Ridiculous. What was Badrinath and Pujara doing? What about Uthappa? Ravinder Jadeja? non-sense. Yet another instance of Srikanth knowing nothing about selection and Dhoni insisting on having HIS players in the side. Another 5-0 in waiting!
Dummy4 on September 1, 2011, 6:20 GMT
i think dhoni is forgetting the past player who done wonders for him when he was new captain y jadeja y not Robin uthappa he is done well at the international level but selectors and Dhoni forget him give him a chance he will prove his worth he is dammmmmm good a batsmen a useful wicket keeper and a better fielder tooooo
Dummy4 on September 1, 2011, 5:56 GMT
I dont get why everyone is so crossed with the selection of Ravindra Jadeja.. Look at his first class and list A averages..he is almost equal to that of Pragyan Ojha's in bowling..and almost close to 35 in batting..then what's wrong in giving him opportunity to get that to International level..poor man...one over in the T20 WC to Warner has spoilt his Indian future..he is a far better fielder when compared to the Indian Spinner's expected caliber... Go Jadeja..show what you can do... This guy has got a well disguised straight ball...anyone remembers a straight ball from ojha???

don't we have any one to replace Gambhir????

God only has to save team India......

irfanpathan, yusuf pathan, uthappa, Pujara, Manoj Tiwari, Mohamed kaif, Rahul sharma & Murali kartik were not selected.... because of one or two failures.... or some may be because of injuries....

Srikanth & Co 's team selection is not merit but something else.....

Dummy4 on September 1, 2011, 4:48 GMT
I am just glad that they dint select Badrinath or Rayudu and place them in the bench for one more series and sending them back with out playing a single match. RJ will fill in the bill properly as I am sure that India would not pick him in any match. He is called in to warm the bench.If India face 3 or 4 more injury scares, and if India does not have 11 men to compete, RJ MIGHT get a chance to play.

P Subramani on September 1, 2011, 4:31 GMT
Jadeja is a very good all rounder. In his first year he was not a big hitter. Now he can really score big when needed as we saw in the last IPL. I have always felt however that he can become a very good allrounder for the Tests. He bowls well and has all the variations particularly the arm ball. He can bat for very long and is a brilliant fielder anywhere. I am very happy that he has been brought in.
Dummy4 on September 1, 2011, 4:01 GMT
I don't understand on what basis is Ravindra Jadeja selected in the Squad, he is a absolute selfish player who plays for himself and not for the country. Why is selection board delibrately neglects the Pathan brothers? They are India's one of the best All rounders.

He does not deserve to be in the India A team. May be tried against Zimbabwe .Bangladesh,Ireland,Kenya etc., He is nothing but a quota of some one.
Akhil on September 1, 2011, 1:00 GMT
I think Jadeja is a good choise. Good fielder and bowler. Useful bat. He has not been superlative, but he is young and will learn. I also feel, indian selectors should put long term faith in players. They have not done so in the case of Jadeja.

rko on September 1, 2011, 0:08 GMT
Another example of Dhoni giving preference to only his favorite players. As if the chances given to ravinder jadeja for more than 1 year was not enough, and I clearly remember when last year Dhoni said that he wanted to give some extra chances to Jadeja(than what he deserve) but Jadeja failed to grab the opportunity. Now we have to bear Jadeja once again along with another Dhoni favorite RP singh who is slower than even Ravi Bopara. Secondly, DHONI IS AN AWFUL CAPTAIN OF FAST BOWLERS. Thats why he always wants to keep slower bowlers in his team and never encourages fast bowlers and thats y we lost 4-0. The other Fact is that under Dhoni's captaincy, not even a single Fast Bowler has grown up except Praveen Kumar, yes, a slow medium pacer. And It is a pity that we poor Indian fans who always want to see India producing GENUINE FAST BOWLERS is not going to happen soon under Dhoni captaincy. Lets only hope that Varun Aaron can grow up in this discouraging atmosphere for fast bowlers
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 22:09 GMT
Jadeja is an excellent choice. He is an excellent fielder almost as good as Raina & Kohli, and is also a very good left arm spinner. As a batsman, he seems to be improving and could be one for the future.
ramakrishna on August 31, 2011, 22:02 GMT
I agree with all that RJ's selection is a blunder b/c he doenst worth a Cent but I am shocked to see ppl want Irfan in Indian team. On what basis you want Irfan in Indian Team? Did he recently performed well in domestic cricket? We have lots of all rounders who performed well in the domestic cricket. Pls. Lets select the players on the basis of their performance but not the baisis of the reputation.

subramanian on August 31, 2011, 20:31 GMT
Ravindra Jadeja??? Great! The best selection ever in the history of Indian Cricket at this point of time. The worst player ever to be named as a all-rounder. Most funniest part is as everyone said, "An All-rounder (namesake) is going to be a replacement for an opener". I really doubt why there are continuously ignoring Robin Uttappa even though he is a better batsman and hard hitter than all these scraps. Its time to change the Selection committee. Now the ODI results are apparent. We are waiting for another white wash. Don't get SURPRISED if they bring anyone who played in 1990's.

That's not a bad choice. Jadeja is potentially the best future indian star. He should be given more n more choices till the actual cricketer comes out of him.

If Ravindra jadeja is an allrounder, I am Sir Don bradman.

Hello selectors pls select with fresh minds...Hello selectors pls select with fresh minds...
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 18:36 GMT
Bicci bank on RP's 4 yr old performance but why they are not giving Irfan a chance.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 18:02 GMT
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 16:58 GMT
:P I Bet Jadeja Will Be Making It 2 Playing 11 As 5th Bowler's Slot Was Vaccant. But Either Of Pathan Brothers Was A Better Choice. If Opener, It Should Have Been Robin Uthappa. And Are We Trying To Create S. Badrinath Version 2.0 Out Of Cheteshwar Pujara?
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 16:42 GMT
wow..now Jadeja gets another chance to display what a waste he is!! With players like him in the team India shouldnt even bother to fight the battle..I m sure Jadeja will once again convince everyone he is just good for nothing..
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 16:30 GMT
these things happen only in india....an opner is replaced by all-rounder(failure all-rounder both in batting and bowling)....where's irfan???????the best all rounder(atleast much better than jadeja),where's robbbin uthappa(pitch hittrt cum opner)...these things are not very good sign for indian cricket......at least give chance to sourav tiwary who had been dropped beacause of nothing.......
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 16:30 GMT
What happened to Saurabh Tiwari and Manoj Tiwari, both highly talented batsmen, when will we stop having this nonsensical selections. it would be good to see India thrashed, at least it will bring Dhoni's captaincy to an end sooner.
Visu on August 31, 2011, 16:19 GMT
Paul Valthaty,Manish Pandey,Robin Uthapa all are awesome batsman.even i pathan NOT useless Yusuf

y not yusuf pathan/dinesh karthik.....yusuf played 2 brilliant knocks against south africa and newzealand........ in d last tour at england......dinesh karthik played well...
It may not b helpful for future indian team......
wat abt Abhishek nayar/sourav tiwary...... earlier.....dey were selectd for some tours.....and not given enuf chances in playing 11.....and they hav nt included for next tours.....i dont knw.....on wat basis team selection will b thr.....

indian team is not dhoni's personal jharkhand team....he cant ignore players like pathan brothers....these players are lot lot better then ravinder jadeja(good for nothing allrounder)....its a big insult to call him an allrounder....useless... dhoni cant decide on his own....RP singh is his best friend, so he is playing in place of munaf...indian team is ours....play for the nation.....dont keep any personal grudges irfan pathan is a very talented allrounder....where as yousuf also....ok we dont need spin option...but we can go for irfan rite as we r struggling in bowling department also..
David on August 31, 2011, 15:44 GMT
hmm, so he has an "inability to focus on an object for long", eh? sounds like the rest of the squad. are they all concussed? :-)
Big on August 31, 2011, 15:37 GMT
I think the World cup win has gone to Dhoni's head. Someone needs to remind him that he represents the largest democracy in the world. What problems does he have with Munaf? Has he not proved his worth during World Cup? Even the coach called Munaf an unsung hero while Dhoni was taking all the credit.
sudheer on August 31, 2011, 15:33 GMT
why not Irfan pathan?? a left handed allrounder is picked for an opening batsman and Irfan is better than Jadeja both in batting and bowling..the Selectors overlooking pathan and its causes damage to team india..p
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 15:32 GMT
Only Jadeja can give Rajnikanth a heart attack! :P
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 15:22 GMT
definitely india will loose bcz of this selection.
Mohan on August 31, 2011, 15:21 GMT
For God Sake, please stop calling Jadeja an allrounder.. He bowls decently, but cant bat.... he is good tail ender.... Its time dhoni stops selecting players he likes... just like RP Singh was selected ahead of Munaf... I dont knw what selectors were doing......
Joe on August 31, 2011, 15:20 GMT
I admit I am intrigued, Murali Kartik is in England, playing well for Somerset, you know the team that has got to the finals of both the FPT20 and the CB40? Surely a fit in-form bowling all rounder who is well used to the conditions here in England may have been a logical selection if India really wanted a slow left arm bowler who could bat a bit?
jatt on August 31, 2011, 15:13 GMT
Irfan Pathan should seek Anna Hazare's help for his selection. Request Anna to start fasting for Pathan at Wankhede Stadium.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 15:07 GMT
I dont understand why they have not included Yusuf Pathan. I agree he is weak in english conditions but then how else do you give him this exposure. R Jadeja is a decent all rounder with int'l experience but if Yusuf is fit he should have been preferred over R J and similarly Dinesh Karthik should be given chance b4 parthiv
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 15:00 GMT
I'm glad that a lot of us are wondering about the same question: Where is Irfan Pathan?
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 14:56 GMT
dhoni dont like pathan brothers, thats why they are ignored.
Nik on August 31, 2011, 14:45 GMT
its simply "INDIA ARE PANICKING LIKE NO OTHER TEAM". Signs of having really really really bad time in and out of dressing room and bcci offices.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 14:42 GMT
If ever there was a chance of india winning the odi series,here comes jadeja.England wil be pleased with his selection as he wil help them mopunt pressure on other batsmens by blocking balls and he also has the ability to run his partners out as he did in ipl2 crunch match.
s on August 31, 2011, 14:36 GMT
I believe Irfan is much better than Jadeja as he didn't do much when given a chance.
Akshay on August 31, 2011, 14:33 GMT
Why ?Why? Why? ,This is the same man who made us lose 2 20-20 world cups and he is here again
supratim on August 31, 2011, 14:32 GMT
excellent choice,anyone who KNOWS cricket can say he was the 7th most economical bowler in the world in the 2 year period he played in odis,his economy is good,batting avg is decent and strike rate nearly 80.I am sure he will improve given that he has gained some mass,I like irfan too but here he was considered ova Yusuf so I think finally it is a great decision,wanna see AAron given a fear free run,No rp please and give a chance to rahane too
Rahul on August 31, 2011, 14:30 GMT
if they wanted to select a spinner who can bat why not "Iqbal Abdulla", he is young and is clever bowler and decent batsmen and young.
AJAY on August 31, 2011, 14:28 GMT
A bad, a very bad choice. Dhoni has always been in favor of Jadeja, who has time and again always failed to prove himself. I would have gone with Irfan, as he is a good seam bowler as well as good batter.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 14:25 GMT
well..no irfan cmng..dhoni neva wanted him in his side...wats so personnal mr Dhoni????
s on August 31, 2011, 14:18 GMT
irfan bat better than jadeja,bad decision
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 14:18 GMT
Just glad they didn't pick Robin Singh or Sourav Ganguly for being a left handed allrounder ..
ilias on August 31, 2011, 14:13 GMT
india should have called yusuf pathan nd test him as an opener. it would be wonderfull 2 see him smacking d ball out d stadium in d battin powerplay. And as far his weakness 2 short balls is concerned, he has developed a better way to tackle those deliveries and its clear enough from his centuries coming against top fast nd spin bowlers in cricket. on contrary jadeja is juz too weak to score big runs. he's gr8 achievment would b 2 som how hit half century not a century lyk pathan
Sunil on August 31, 2011, 14:10 GMT
Still belive that Yusuf would be a getter choice.
Durga Prasad Reddy on August 31, 2011, 14:09 GMT
Come buddies . . . Bring back Swing Sulthan . . . . Irfan !!!!!!!!!!
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 14:08 GMT
I think its a good decision made by the selectors to give another chance to the ravindra jadeja and i am sure he will definetly give his 100%
Sola on August 31, 2011, 14:08 GMT
seriously either of Pathan brothers could have been selected here we are actually shot of player who can score some good fast runs at the end of the innings and can bowl some decent 7 to 8 overs in the middle which can be done effectively by either of Irfan or Yusuf seriously a blunder from Dhoni and Selectors...its will be very hard to see India loosing all the matches to England.
SURAJ on August 31, 2011, 14:07 GMT
What have they against Irfan Pathan?The English conditions are tailor made for his swing bowling..definitely he's a better bat than Jadeja.
ashok on August 31, 2011, 14:07 GMT
Why on earth Badrinath, Vijay, pathans were not considered ?
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 14:01 GMT
Mahadevan on August 31, 2011, 13:59 GMT
The selectors have done a very good thing
Jinesh on August 31, 2011, 13:56 GMT
If we think strategically I guess, bringing Jadeja is a better option. He is just like replacing Yuvraj singh as part time bowler and will be better batsmen then existing spinners. And I also feel we need to give people playing their heart out in domestic should be given priority and good to see BCCI going in that direction by calling Ajinkya Rahane. Also, I am sure Mukund and Pujara (poor guy missed important series because of his injury) will be selected for Australia series.
My team for First two ODI: Sachin, Rahane, Dravid, Kohli, R. Sharma, Raina, Dhoni, Ashwin, P. Kumar, Vinay Kumar, P. Kumar (12 - Jadeja)
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 13:52 GMT
why not sellected irfan pathan give a lard achance
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 13:51 GMT
Roger on August 31, 2011, 13:50 GMT
He is a good choice, India needs a left arm spinner who can bat a bit and Jadeja is the best option when Yuvraj is not around. Gambhir's absense gives Rahane a chance, so there is no need to bring in another opener.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 13:46 GMT
where is Irfan pathan.........
mohammed on August 31, 2011, 13:46 GMT
Jadeja replacing Gambhir proves that the selection of the team has not been fair. A bits and pieces allrounder replacing an opening batsman. R.P Singh playing instead of Munaf Patel in the final test indicates selections have been on personal choice of M.S. Dhoni. R.P. singh is called when he was holidaying and Munaf Patel who was in the original team and was ignored.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 13:44 GMT
im not a great fan of R. JADEJA... but... from the last ipl he has done well in the ipls.. have put up muscles.. and become a strong lad.. so i hav a good belif in him... think its a good choice.. can be usefull as 5th bowler, batsman down the order and a very good fielder..
Sola on August 31, 2011, 13:42 GMT
Again a very bad decision by the selectors, dont know who is making all the selections here is dhoni preferring or the selectors dont find a player than this so called Allrounder for our team, he is not at all good with the bat not even can hit a ball across the boundary at the end of the innings which is expected of him coming at no 7 then what is the use of him and about his bowling if anyone wants to complete the quota of 5th bowler with the economy rate of 6 and above that can be done by Kholi and Rohit combined so there is no use of him there also he is not good with the bat to score some fast runs or either put brakes on the scoring rate with couple of wickets so again a very poor decision put India atleast can win a single match out of this series.Anyways as a true Indian fan always expecting out team to do well.
kan on August 31, 2011, 13:42 GMT
first unfit Zaheer, then half fit Sehwag, then RP singh from Miami vacation and now Ravindra Jadeja from nowhere, whats going on with BCCI, i think its time for new selection panel may be!! yet another shocking terrible decision. selection for rahane and Varun was good, but selection for jadeja is equally bad
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 13:40 GMT
now definitely India is losing the series.
Brij on August 31, 2011, 13:40 GMT
Seems like Ravindra Jadeja is Dhoni's fav but not Irfan Pathan....such pity!
Chandan on August 31, 2011, 13:37 GMT
Maybe there's further punishment for Dravid for telling the selectors he's retiring. now they'll say he should open the batting, too.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 13:35 GMT
someone please tell selectors that irfan pathan is also there
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 13:33 GMT
and yet again a very very BAD decision from our selectors....we needed a specialist opener & waht we get is ravinder jadeja....don't know what the hell is wrong with the selectors....!!
Hrushikesh on August 31, 2011, 13:29 GMT
I wud rather see a 16 year boy in the team in place of R Jadeja..God how many failures doea any one need to prove his incapability. Jadeja is just suitable for IPL & nothing else. Cant we opt for players from our talented young pool of Under 19 or the team just won in Australia!!!! Jadeja doesnt deserve to be in top 50!!!
kan on August 31, 2011, 13:27 GMT
Gambhir has recently developed attitude problem, he showed that with the tremendous intensity with which he played IPL where he was captain, hiding injury, when he plays for India under Dhoni the same intensity is not seen in him, rightly so, his Test performance has severly dropped since his purple patch, he may be injured, but i am sure he will play CL hiding injury again. what a Shame Gambhir!! he has to start putting India ahead of KKR
K on August 31, 2011, 13:25 GMT
Good choice. Way better than Yusuf Pathan. Yusuf plays once in 15-20 games.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 13:25 GMT
I think this is a very wise decision bcoz if u observe carefully u will notice that India does not have a fifth bowling option since Yuvraj is missing.I really think they should play Jadaja coz he will give the team atleast 5-6 overs.N anyways no.7 batsman doesn't get much to prove so i think he is a good no.7 for India.
kan on August 31, 2011, 13:24 GMT
another TERRIBLE BAD DECISION from BCCI, why India goes back to same players who have failed and again!! why didn't they pick Irfan Pathan or Raydu?
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 13:23 GMT
Why the hell people are fighting for Yusuf Pathan .He is such a flop player for India.He has dismissed for 0 many times and people still fight for him.Yusuf is a inconsistant player and a lottery ticket but people still support him.Why not Robbin Uthappa he has been consistant why cant people fight for him?Robbie never got a chance by sellectors nor people supported him.Robbin uthappa is a oppening batsman he could have replaced gambhir.
venkatesh on August 31, 2011, 13:22 GMT
Come ON....Somebody should have common sense, how many times Mr Jadega was given chance...hopeless selection commitee.......Yousuf pathan is better match winning option. Utappa/Manoj Tiwari - can be given a chance.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 13:21 GMT
why jadeja why not irfan dhoni and srikant got somr ting agains him he is only player with a hatrick
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 13:21 GMT
Gambhir shold replaced by an opener and I think Vijay should have been given chance
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 13:18 GMT
is Jadeja better than Yousuf or Irfan??
Siddarth on August 31, 2011, 13:18 GMT
I call for the most radicle of changes post this series: Removal or demand the removal of Dhoni as captain and replacement with Virat Kohli in the shorter formats of the game. Raina is not just good enough a player to be captain and should just concentrate on his game. Gambhir, though a good choice, should be left alone as he needs to continue concentrating on his game. The best choice is Kohli!!!
Ashok on August 31, 2011, 13:16 GMT
Although Gambhir's absence would be felt, there are already back-up opening batsmen in form of Dravid, P. Patel & Rahane. So India really needed a good bowler not a mediocre all rounder. If all rounder is needed Y.Pathan was already in the World cup winning team. Why was he denied in favour of already well tried & discarded Jadeja?.Dhoni is a poor selector of players and must not be given a free hand. He has pushed Ashwin away in favour of "over the hill Harbhajan" for 2 years now.Many fans will not know Rahul Sharma, a tall leg spinner who bowls at a much faster pace than a regular leg spinner.He gets a lot of bounce because of his pace & height even on Indian pitches. He is accurate & tough to score. He is ideal for ODI's on the English pitches. He had excellent showing in this year's IPL. He would have been the match winner. The Indian Selectors are neither dynamic nor proactive. They missed a golden chance to put the team above individuals.Rahul was the right guy at right place.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 13:09 GMT
amit mishra n ashwin can do better job than this useless jadeja both in bat n bowl..so opener should replace with another opener n uthappa as other members commenting here on cricinfo is getting 80% votes n this cleary shows there is something wrong between uthappa n selectors..he cant be part of ind set up till cheekas there..srikkant playing with his own country n making our nation look like fool in front of foreign country's by selecting guys who cant handle short ball..jadeja,yusuf,raina these cant play short ball in away conditions..come on we have good hookers and pullers like tiwary,uthappa,pandey,manariya wht the hell is going onnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Baundule on August 31, 2011, 13:06 GMT
What a selection! A spin-playing batsman is replaced by a spinner. ;)
rustyryan on August 31, 2011, 13:05 GMT
Selectors are out of their mind. R Jadeja - the man who lost us T20 WC twice. you gotta be kidding.
Najim on August 31, 2011, 13:03 GMT
Dhoni forget that he is playing for India not for his own town team. That's why he bring his friends (RP Sing) and his perference persons (R Jadeja) into the squad... Indian fans do you remember the selection bitween Irfan Pathan and RP Sing?..When the selector selected Irfan Pathan in place of RP Sing..Dhoni wanted to resiging as indian captain.. After that Irfan disappeared from Indian team because Captain and Coach acussed him that he is bowling under 130 km/p. Now Dhoni bring RP Sing who is out of cricket touch and bowling under 125 km/p...Okey Irfan Pathan's prob is past but what Yusuf Pathan did to ignored from the ODI selction?? Did he played bad as Dhoni and Raina did through the England Test matchs? or Dhoni and indian selectors don like Pathan's family?..If Dhoni and selectors select only their friends or preference persons into the team.. Why should I watch those matchs and support this team (their own team)
syed on August 31, 2011, 13:03 GMT
Dhoni did not learned the lesson from R.P.Singh's selection for testsn now Jadeja's turn. He and shrikanth will put country at stake for the sake of his friends and relatives. This is too much.
ilias on August 31, 2011, 13:02 GMT
jadeja is'nt a good batsmen 2 play under pressure unlike yusuf pathan who plays well against the fast bowlers under pressure
John on August 31, 2011, 13:00 GMT
Somehow I don't think the selection of Jadeja is going to keep the England players awake at night worrying. The big question is, has Jadeja kept himself fit? It's presumably 4 months or so since he played even T20. Judging by most of the players who have come over, after the IPL they entered a number of eating competitions rather than spend time in the gym. He seems to have been sent for purely as cover, since he's not a good enough bat to warrant going in higher than 7 or 8, and his bowling doesn't deserve a place ahead of Mishra and Ashwin. A bit of a non-event.
Pankaj on August 31, 2011, 12:58 GMT
Really??? Was a great Dhoni fan but I think he's letting success run over his head. Earlier, it was RP Singh and now it's Jadeja.

Manoj on August 31, 2011, 12:48 GMT
Jadeja is a good choice. How else can we establish a clean victory for the English. He is the one who can leak 6ers with his bowling (the 5th bowler).
Chetan on August 31, 2011, 12:47 GMT
With such a shortage of batsmen, I am surprised that Raidu has not been selected for the ODI's. I guess BCCI does not represent India, it only represents N Srinivasan, Sharad Pawar & Lalit Modi. Therefore, anyone who has offended these gentlemen is by default disqualified.
Manesh on August 31, 2011, 12:45 GMT
Selectors recruit the whole Kochi Tuskers team to play the ODIs...parthiv, RP, vinay kumar and now Jadeja...lol
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 12:44 GMT
Replacement of G Gambhir is not necessarily the opner as ANYONE can open nobody is going to make much difference. Far shot have never actually seen this guy but what about Bhuvneshwar Kumar from Uttar Pradesh/Pune Warriors. Play that guy as Joker may be cant bat well or cant bowl well...or even both or RAVINDRA JADEJA (5th bowler/7th batsmen) http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-india-2011/content/story/530480.html?comments=all#comments NEVER KNEW THE SHOT WOULD GO THIS FAR ACTUALLY.
Rahul on August 31, 2011, 12:43 GMT
I would like to what Ravindra Jadeja has done recently and what he did in his last outings ? BCCI keeps surprising you with some of the selections. Fans will talk about names of their choice but BCCI picks someone out of the blue. What he has done in 2011 IPL that I don't know exactly if his selection is based on that. If IPL is selection criteria then we have many other players who are better then Ravindra. IPL is not a platform where you can rate a player. BCCI will never learn. They took so much time to select a replacement and now they know Ishant's case and still not doing anything. God save Indian cricket.
Diwakar on August 31, 2011, 12:41 GMT
How about Robin Uttappa? He can also keep wickets. Nothing wrong with Ravindra Jadeja, but what is the logic in selecting an allrounder for replacing an opener? As long as we continue to selecte teams on a patchwork basis, we will never win consistently. The players too continue to grope in uncertainty.
Gaurav on August 31, 2011, 12:41 GMT
Two things i never understood, first the obsession of BCCI with IPL and second Dhoni's obsession with Ravindra Jadeja.
Steve on August 31, 2011, 12:40 GMT
It seems Indian think tank has a completely different view from the rest of us on how to solve form and player issues than the rest of the world. First RP Singh and now Jadeja were picked out of blues. I am sure even the players themselves weren't expecting such a generous, unexpected gift from selectors. There are factors other than logic at work here.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 12:39 GMT
Why not to give Badrinath chance?
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 12:38 GMT
saurabh tiwari showed good form in emerging player tournament but as our opener is injured they should have picked a opener and shikar dhawan was the best to replace

Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 12:34 GMT
All these people commenting on Cricinfo first bash the IPL and then ask for players like Paul Valthaty, Ambati Rayudu, Saurabh Tiwary, Manoj Tiwary, Manish Pandey, Robin Uthappa to be selected who are just IPL products and nothing else.They have no technique to counter the English pace attack.Just because someone from these guys plays a matchwinning innings in 1 out 8 or 9 IPL games doesn't mean he is the future of Indian cricket.Domestic performances in Ranji Trophy should be rewarded by selecting likes of Badrinath, C.Pujara, A.Mukund, A.Rahane and so on.
Himanshu on August 31, 2011, 12:30 GMT
We seriously need an opener there in ENG why the hell they has not chosen Pathan or Uthhapa. And also concern why the players like RP Singh, Uthhapa are out of ranji matches and not fit for play. Jadeja can`t be a choice, we have tested him he is not a good player. The choice should be Irfaan Pathan, Yusuf Pathan, Ambati rayudu or manoj Tiwari. I really like Ishaant Sharma opting for a surgery after Australian test Tour. In this decision he has thought only for Playing India not IPL. Thanks Ishant we want this attitude.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 12:28 GMT
Now India needs alrounder, there is no much option. If india very particular about opening batsman Abinav will be the ideal choice. He has being playing for india last couple of months in caribean and few in english condition. Moreover He would have learnt good lesson through his mistakes. I believe the Left Right opening combination will work out.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 12:28 GMT
What the Hell..Ravindra Jadeja as a replacement..Why not Raidu?? and we already have part time bowlers to fill the gap..and how good jadeja bowls??..just a crazy selection and bad for INDIAN cricket..
Prashanth on August 31, 2011, 12:28 GMT
pls note that the selection is based on Dhoni's influence. Why in the world R.P.Singh was drafted in who came in straight from Florida. R.Jadeja has been given numerous chances already. He may be excellent in the IPL due to flat pitches but England is vastly different. Ambatti Rayudu deserves a chance instead.
Aditya on August 31, 2011, 12:27 GMT
Why not Irfan Pathan, seriously? and why Jadeja again.. He does fit anywhere.. Neither bowler nor batsman
Raj on August 31, 2011, 12:27 GMT
This is true. Am I reading news or dream? Forget his skills. He don't have ethics, what we have seen during IPL. Now everyone started understanding what is happening in Indian cricket. More fun comes even after Chikka & other selectors term over in sep. Because current selection is controlled by few players, and not by selectors.
I would think DK/Yusuf/Uthappa/Dhawan/Vijay/Mukund might been considered.
Poor Srikant.
can't select Mukund- people complains TN factor can't select Vijay - people complain TN factor or CSK factor. Only Raina is exception after N number failures. can't select badri - TN factor can't select Puraja - false statement on him. Test material. can't select Uthappa - Zonal restriction can't select Rayadu - ICL return can't select Paul - no big name so far can't select DK - Dhoni will not allow to do that.
Atit on August 31, 2011, 12:24 GMT
Sehwag, Gambhir, Yuvraj- Batsman
Harbhajan, Zaheer, Ishant- Bowlers
All key players are out and still i hope India will win. I am really surprised to see that senior players like Sachin and Dravid are more fit then all these youngsters. These tour to England for cricket is starting to become a vacation tour with couple of players flying to and back from England every week. I personally believe Pathan brothers, Rayudu, Mukund, Utthappa are better choices.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 12:24 GMT
Y pathan scored a century on his last overseas match and we have someone else in his place. We won the WC because RJ was not part of the team, nevertheless he's simply just Dhoni's favourite. I hope he doesnt get a chance to play.
Goundla on August 31, 2011, 12:22 GMT
Welcome back Sir. Ravindra Jadeja. You add one more reason not to bother about the upcoming ODI series. Thanks.
surya on August 31, 2011, 12:21 GMT
Please Stop taking about STATS, this has killed our team.
Shyam on August 31, 2011, 12:20 GMT
Someone says Dhoni's request fulfilled. But I would say as a positive move, We need atleast one left arm spinner, to take atleast KP wicket. We all know Irfan is not the same old bowler, who swings and takes lots of wickets. He leaks a lot now. He needs to bowl better to get the all-rounder spot. Yousuf is never reliable. And with the Indian teams test performance, we cannot have too many unreliable players in the XI.
sachin on August 31, 2011, 12:19 GMT
Surprise Surpise !! Another howler from the stupid selection committee. After the shocker that was R P Singh (pulled from the wild)...R Jadeja from nowhere. After some amount of redemption by bringing performers from the emerging tournament, here we go again. Why in the world would we not have Manoj/Saurabh Tiwary or Ambati (He has got the most raw deal). Damn even Manish Pandey or Shikhar Dhawan should be higher in the pecking order.
sourabh on August 31, 2011, 12:16 GMT
jadeja its interesting decision taken by bcci its no dout he has ability to play but here bcci miss the one thing he is not opening batsman in such condition in England so swinging condition there india nees a specialist opner so many player specially uthappa, ambati raydu, murli vijay, sikhar dhavan what they are thinking dont understand
india must need gud starts now they have to depends upon mostly sachin and dravid in starting over thats increasing mo re burden an presser on sachin while he is alredy have presser of acceptation of 100th century "god helps india "
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 12:16 GMT
Jadeja is a game changer he will tilt the balance towards England
prashant on August 31, 2011, 12:13 GMT
@ Thomas Cherian: Right..Pathan is better a choice, dont know what "HIDDEN" talent jadeja has
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 12:12 GMT
@rama563 we have plenty of options bro.. raina kholi rohit all can bowl with some potentials.. no need of 5 th bolwer
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 12:11 GMT
It seems BCCI doesn't look beyond IPL for talent , even then why not Robin Uthappa or Ambati Rayudu or Irfan Pathan or Yusuf pathan, on any given day these players are far better than Jadeja. GOD's must be crazy :)
Hemant on August 31, 2011, 12:09 GMT
everyone is saying Uthapa or rayudu..where is Paul Valthaty? after a brilliant comeback ..he should have been pursued in Emerging players..? Can't he be one of the options
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 12:08 GMT
Amit Mishra .. batting skills!! come on .. that was test cricket!!! this is the ODI's .... mishra .. can chip in with 10 and 12 .. jadeja can hit the shots ... he is a proper batsman and bowler (allrounder)
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 12:08 GMT
Jadaja s a wonderful selection..... As we know,English batsmen are little uncomfortable to Left arm slow bowlers.... Also he can cat a bit..
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 12:05 GMT
Even a common cricket fan know's we need a good all-rounder in the team & we are playing in england not in srilanka.We need a all-rounder who can bowl med-fast & bat at No.5 or No.6....The player name is Irfan Pathan with all this qualifications.Get this guy into the team please.You are bringing R.P.singh after 3 years into the team 7 justifying that he can swing the ball,I'm telling you Irfan can swing the ball better than R.P.Singh.My dear Selectors think,think,think before you act !!!
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 12:03 GMT
i think a opener should replace a opener like gambhir.... so i insist players like robin uthappa should come in place of jadeja.. as uthappa had opened innings in T-20 & ODI'S too...
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 12:03 GMT
its not about friends of dhoni (get a life guys) ... dhoni plays with the team selected by the selectors ... what can he do .. he gives his best and gets his team to the best they can on a given day .. hard luck if a jadeja goes for 80 runs in 10 overs with no wicket ... u have days when things go your way and days when things don't .... if in the first match jadeja gets a 5 wkt haul ... the whole of india will praise him ....
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 12:01 GMT
rather than giving a chance to a person who dont even know the rules( Rajathan Roayls issue). i think there are better players in line like. Robin Utappa, Ambati rayudu, Manish Pandey, Irfan Pathan(f its not a opener replacement) and many more youngstars. i dont understand who influences these selections.they are taking everything for granted.
Rajesh on August 31, 2011, 11:59 GMT
One gets a feeling that Dhoni is not selecting his team based on merit.. he seems to have too many of personal preferences while selecting his team ... and this is the next baffling one... I don't know how many more chances will R. Jadeja get and he has yet to convince any one with his cricketing credentials... What is even more strange is that a Batsman is changed with a bits-and-pieces batsman/bowler... If Dhoni moves on like this than I think he is in for a long term downfall...
rama on August 31, 2011, 11:58 GMT
yes he is the right choice at present!!!!!! because, in the absence of yuvraj who will bowl the 5th bowler quota for the team and england to have some problems with lefthand spinnerin opposition!so dont think of only batting !!!!! tink in whole!!!!! good decision selectors and dhoni!!!!!
NIKHIL on August 31, 2011, 11:56 GMT
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:55 GMT
Jadeja is preferred over Pathan that does not make sense.....
B.VIDYA SAGAR on August 31, 2011, 11:55 GMT
Ravindra Jadeja's selection surprised me..He is not definitely a good player..
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:54 GMT
Jadeja replaced for Ghambhir......!!! How funny its is....??? an all-rounder replaced an opening batsman....!!! Bad on u selectors....!!! Who is the perfect partner for Sachin to open the innings....??? If Jadeja is the best choice to replace Ghambir, Why don't Ambati Rayudu or Paul Valthati....???
arpit on August 31, 2011, 11:53 GMT
Ravindra jadeja is useless Player, he got enough opportunities and he let team loose from winning positions. Yusuf pathan Scored a brilliant century in tough Fast bowling conditions in SA against likes of Steyn and Morkel. he should have been picked. If selectors want to have an allrounder then they should have picked Irfan Pathan. About Allrounder tag, i will say even Amit Mishra has good batting skills compare to Jadeja.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:50 GMT
ya..he is a good all rounder, but some times he batted well but not in the bowling...any way best of luck..
Nitin on August 31, 2011, 11:49 GMT
Not a bad choice considering India is not going to play 5 bowlers and if Dravid will be in the 11 then who is going to bowl 10 overs. We can try Raina + Virat and Rohit in initlal matches but if that won't work then we can go to Jadeja who is a bowling all rounder. Also he performed well in the last IPL. Considering UV is not in the tesm we need someone to bowl those 10 overs.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:48 GMT
No need to fly in an extra opener when tendulkar, parthiv, rahane and dravid are in the squad. check Jadeja's batting stats they are pretty good, average of 31 for a young player, even his bowling is quite ok. People wanting yusuf pathan , i see where ur coming from becuz he's a match winner ON HIS DAY but he isnt "on his day" very often and most times he hopeless. dont worry as soon as Yuvraj is back Jadeja will be gone again he's just a stop gap solution, who knows he may sit on the bench for the whole tour anyway. I think selectors should give Parthiv a go as reserve opener because he looks better then the other openers tried of late and played well vs WI, also is a good keeper so can give Dhoni a rest when he needs it.
ATHAR on August 31, 2011, 11:48 GMT
poor selection.robin uthappa should have been included instead of jadeja.jadeja can't even strike run a ball in t20.so many oppurtunities have been given to jadeja
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:46 GMT
Jadeja will do well .... say all you like guys!!! India needs to play him in every match ... he will prove many of his countrymen wrong .. hez a very good talent, im glad hez getting a chance again!
Amit on August 31, 2011, 11:44 GMT
jadeja is a good choice well done selectors.good job.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:43 GMT
don't we have better players playing in Indian domestic circuit?
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:43 GMT
This is the step for another white wash in ODI for India.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:42 GMT
either Ambati rayudu or uthappa should have been picked.Nobody knows how many of our batsmen will click in English conditions.Already Sehwag,Gambhir out.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:42 GMT
nice joke selecting r jadega who is useless.whr s y pathan ?
sudeep on August 31, 2011, 11:42 GMT
@ sudarshanj
well said.... thats exactly whats happening.... i guess selectors are seeking hidden magical talents from mediocrity
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:42 GMT
Selectors should preferred either robin uthappa or yusuf pathan ahead of jadeja.. They committed a big mistake yet again..
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:39 GMT
dravid ill open dats y jadeja is here bt i wud hv prefered yusuf or irfan...>>>>>
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:38 GMT
Jadeja is definitely not a good choice. They should have given chance to some new player
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:35 GMT
Why is everybody complaining about Jadeja, he showed good form in the IPL, he will do well in England .... his bowling will do better that his batting!!!
Piyush on August 31, 2011, 11:33 GMT
There are people who bash IPL and then they cry for including players like Paul Valthaty, Manish Pandey etc who are just IPL heros not right, if it had to be an alrounder it should be Irfan Pathan specially in England. He can swing as well as PK (just low on confidence) and is more than decent batsman
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:32 GMT
R JADEJA IS NOTHING BUT DISGRACE TO INDIAN TEAM. Its more worse news than Test Series White Wash. :(
Sarthak on August 31, 2011, 11:31 GMT
I have 3 possible theories for this selection:
1.) Indian selectors have a lottery system for selection. Ex: first R.P Singh then Jadeja 2.) Indian selectors get some sadistic pleasure by making Dhonis life as difficult as possible again for ex: first the selection of R.P Singh then Jadeja 3.) Indian's were looking for a brilliant 3rd man. Fetch water, field for Dravid or Tendulkar when they have scored century u knw so on and so forth
What say??
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:31 GMT
He did much better than many other show man who got the opportunity before. He did well in his last domestic match too. But a lower order all-rounder to replace an opening batsman is ridiculous. Thats not replacement. Why not Mukund who just toured here, MVijay who played at the top before or any other top order batsman?. If we dont have any, then that shows how our new generation players are. Opening with P.Patel or Dravid or Kholi is not a good plan
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:30 GMT
I belive he is made for 20/20 cricket the way he played in last IPL he deserved a another chance . shorther format suits his a lot since he is an allrounder :))
Piyush on August 31, 2011, 11:28 GMT
This is another demand of Dhoni fulfilled, We really don't knw why him, Is Irfan never going to make a comeback, IP is a big promise and instead of grooming him they are just ignoring him, may be not a good friend of Dhoni, Jadeja spin Vs IP medium pace nothing to choose but in England IP would have been much better and in batting IP is much better than Jadeja. Another selection error I think.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:28 GMT
i think gambir wants some rest so that he can play for kkr in champions leage qualifiers this guys will hide injury to please their club but not for the country
manoj on August 31, 2011, 11:28 GMT
robin uthappa should have been right guy.. if no him it should have been manish pandey who now deserves more than any one else to debut..
Ravi on August 31, 2011, 11:28 GMT
oh God!!! pls save us from this torture... i can't believe they have picked him..my dear fellow countrymen..bcci and dhoni adds to their mindless decisions on this tour....sometime i feel dhoni just backs his friend...jadeja is just a nervous gutless player..
Rakesh on August 31, 2011, 11:28 GMT
The worst selection by Srikanth and Dhoni, where is Uthappa, Irfan, rayudu??????
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:27 GMT
Good Choice, he played well in last IPL
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:27 GMT
Good selection ... i guess somebody saw him lifting the bat above the head..srikanth..? dhoni..?........... missed it
Jayaesh on August 31, 2011, 11:27 GMT
Its good that we are getting rid of K.Shrikant and Yasphal Sharma as seletors in September......Ravinder jadeza is ridiculous selection which defies any logic....if they wanted another spinning all-rounder they could have selected Yousuf Pathan n they could have chosen any of Manish Pandey,Saurubh Tiwari,A. Menaria,R.Utthapa or Manoj Tiwari ......
sachit on August 31, 2011, 11:27 GMT

Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:23 GMT
x( this is pathetic. Jadeja had his chances and he gifted many good match situations in opposition's favor, should have picked someone else!!
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:23 GMT
Ha Ha !! England again u r lucky to play International matches against a country's "A" team.. .. Make the most of it.. So there s no point in following this series guys.. We ll follow it when our national team plays..
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:21 GMT
Rotation system was never applied in Indian Team. Now because of injuries other players are getting chance.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:20 GMT
this is disgusting.. an ALLROUNDER for an opener.. select an opener like M Vijay or S Dhawan.. or a middle order batsman like R Uthappa,S Badhrinath,S Tiwari or A Rayadu.. Wat the selectors are thinking... god only knows
sandson on August 31, 2011, 11:18 GMT
The one beacon of hope..the knight in the shining armour..Indian cricket torchbearer is here.. Now im sure everything will be hunky-dory.. at least for the legions of indian admirers of sir RJ !!

Jadeja (India's Reply to Sir Gary Sobers) = ODIs Batting Av 30, Bowling Av 42... T20s Batting Av 16... Bowling Av. 46.. What a MARVELOUS pulling out a rabbit trick from our wise Indian Selection team..! Sadly.. The rabbit is pitiful and annoying and has lost India matches from winning positions... Iqbal Abdulla should have been given a shot..
Sudarshan on August 31, 2011, 11:16 GMT

Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:14 GMT
Opener replaced by slow left arm bowler...........wow what a replacement BCCI...............they should have called Shikhar Dhawan or any other specialist opener.........
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:13 GMT
Oh No..!!! Not RJ..!!! What is wrong with selectors..??
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:13 GMT
Very Disappointment... why not yusuf or irfan or robin uthappa or saurabh tiwary or Manish pandey or ambati raydu.... their are many names ahead of Ravndra Jadeja..then are the selection panel doing..
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:12 GMT
Keep him on bench..else india will lose ODI series as well.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:12 GMT
Jadeja was showing some good signs in the recently concluded IPL matches...Best of Luck for him...Sorry to miss Gauti...:(
Moses on August 31, 2011, 11:10 GMT
Mr. Srikkanth and co. have lost their heads. Ravindra Jadeja has given enough proof that he is not capable enough to play at international level. Instead, Ambati Rayudu or Manish Tiwari, who have much more talent and potential shud have been picked!
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:10 GMT
Ravindra WHO??? Does he know how to play cricket??? Why does the BCCI want to increase our suffering???
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:10 GMT
Dhoni extends his long rope to his long time buddy!!! Hopeless..
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:10 GMT
OH NO! India cricket is truly going backwards !
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:09 GMT
jadeja????????????/ are you kidding selectors.. it would be fair if uthappa rayudu dinesh karthik pandey got this opportunity... u had given a chance to a man who got plenty of opportunities and poved nothing..its surely dhoni's call.. i would say...
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:07 GMT
This is even more depressing than the whitewash ! R.I.P INDIAN CRICKET
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 11:02 GMT
disappointed...Why no Uttappa or Yusuf at least...Jadeja is such a all rounder with huge numbers in front of his name in bowling figures and less numbers in batting table !
ASHISH on August 31, 2011, 11:01 GMT
good choice no allrounder in odi squad but this is last chance for ravindra jadeja wish u best of luck...............................
Koduvayur on August 31, 2011, 11:00 GMT
msd is losing it i suppose. first rp singh and now another personal favourite jadeja. are there no better players than these who need to be recalled or given a break into the indian team?? anyway it is going to be 5-0 drubbing with surely sachin and dhoni giving lame excuses like injuries to avoid playing the whole series.
Firoz on August 31, 2011, 11:00 GMT
Dhoni is again calling up his very dear friend Jadeja. I feel now Dhoni is making a team with his friends. We have seen Jadeja who is good for nothing, neither he can bowl nor he can bat yet he manages to find a place in the team. There are so many young players who should have been tried. Paul Valthaty,Manish Pandey,Robin Uthapa,Yusuf .All these are much better than Jadeja but Dhoni is for friends. We should all condemn his act. He has done a similar thing by calling RP Singh. There were so many other good bowlers but he does not think in promoting talent but always look to support his friends. I think it is big time that we should start critisizing dhoni for these kind of acts.We have already gone down badly in tests now it is the turn of ODI's with only friends team
ankur on August 31, 2011, 11:00 GMT

another blunder from selector jadeja is a useless player they should have recaleed yusuf beacuse he has played in england and he aware of the condition
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 10:53 GMT
Interesting choice. India already has 3 openers in Sachin, Parthiv and Rahane, so they've gone with another all rounder. I don't think he's needed considering they've been playing 5 bowlers in the tour matches.
Dummy4 on August 31, 2011, 10:53 GMT
Why are they rewarding Raina? He should be sent home he is a walking wicket at the moment, Jadeja is a pretty good selection, india needs a 5th bowler
Jagan on August 31, 2011, 10:53 GMT
Here goes Dhoni's boy....there are many that get to believe that Srikanth & co has all their say in selection matters...i do not quite think so. Anyway, if this is down to Ravindra Jadeja, this speaks enough about the talent pool in Indian Cricket.

india need genuine opener and not a middle order failure like R Jadeja....he might have built some muscle but he aint got no technique to counter this english conditions...god save india...

Basic needs of Travellers still not being met, says President
There are basic needs which have not yet been provided for the Travelling community, President Michael D Higgins has said.
Speaking at the 30th anniversary of the Pavee Point Travellers' Centre, President Higgins said the recent Carrickmines tragedy has brought these issues to the fore again.
He asked for a moment's silence for "the great sadness" which resulted in the loss of 10 people in Carrickmines, Co Dublin. Families of the victims will meet President Higgins in Aras an Uachtarain tomorrow.
"The impact of such an immense loss as that recently on the Gilbert, Lynch and Connors families and all those who knew them and all of the community, is a profound one - but words are simply insufficient to convey one's response to it," President Higgins said.
"But there are many important issues arising from this tragedy, that all of us in Irish society must take into account.
"In relation to health, education and housing, it is not rocket science to note the distinction between a transient, a temporary and a permanent site, and what is necessary to provide shelter, water and electricity and all of the different things that one can need."
He said that it is in this way that Travellers can participate on their own terms in society.
"In the 1980s the arrival of Pavee Point spoke about participation and about Travellers getting into the conversation and then it was about what they say being taken seriously.
"As I left public life, I was well aware that it was a journey that wasn't completed, in relation to both the nature of the conversations and the form and the structure of decisions."
Speaking about the organisation's anniversary, Co-Director of Pavee Point, Martin Collins, said: "We have always endeavoured to show leadership, courage and innovation in addressing Traveller exclusion and inequality. We have never taken the path of least resistance. If something needed to be done, we did it."

Dragon Friends Hack
The Dragon Friends Hack, made by g4mehacks, will generate unlimited gems, hearts, gold and it will also unlock all the dragons, for both iOS and Android platforms. It's a nice game with dragons, and we also recommend playing Dragon City, Dragon Story or Dragonville (click on them to see the hack). It' a Japanese game made by NHN Entertainment Corp., but that isn't a problem, because Japanese make great games, like this one, which has many unique features. It's the micro-transactions that repels players from playing them. Luckily, you can play this game without spending money on boxes or trunks of gems!
Gems, the premium currency of this game, is required for certain actions, such as unlocking treasure chests, which takes 2 gems. Also, this hack will generate unlimited gold. Why selling your precios magic tree for 395 gold when you can generate unlimited gold with the Dragon Friends Hack. You can farm for gold coins, but that takes a lot and playing almost the same thing over and over again isn't the most pleasent thing to do. And you won't have to activate raining clounds for the 10% bonus coins, which is appliend when harversting coins. Our best tip for Dragon Friends is to download this hack.
Dragon Friends Hack features
- Unlimited gems
- Unlimited hearts
- Unlimited gold
- Unlock all dragons

The Strip / The Line
Fast FactsAverage Rating: 4Average Depth: 25 ft.Max Depth: 40 ft.Features: 10,12
Just north of the channel between South and North Bimini is a narrow reef known as The Strip or Line. Plenty of marine life is packed onto this skinny strip of coral heads. It is a very colorful dive day or night. The Strip is a favorite of underwater photographers and a popular night dive for the Bimini dive charters.
The bottom is at 40 feet, but the coral and rocks extend up pretty high. Among the thousands of fish you may see octopus, Atlantic squid, eels, banded shrimp, crabs, lobster, rays, turtles, and nurse sharks. Fish that are in abundance include parrotfish, queen triggers, puffer fish and flounder hiding in the sand. Visibility is usually quite good.
