ICC Champions Trophy 2013 - Final Edition

[ashish]

Adding to the absurdity is the fact that gambhir's name is added in the list of 21 probables for the tri-series that follows CT. but yuvi's name has been omitted.
So selectors are confident yuvi will not perform in the tri-series also, but gambhir can regain form. Lol.
both the players have scored identical runs in last 8 odi's.
what happens to tiwari who is sitting out with a century and half century in his last 3 odi's. he is a much better player than vijay

Cheteshwar Pujara - who is injured

Pujara is injured
Gambhir has not been consistent even in this IPL, still has the "poking" issue.
Sehwag I guess wont be selected now. Anyway, he is not in great form either, just one good innings.
Regarding "Rohit", that lad must have backing of somebody very powerful, he gets selected even when he does not perform!

Tiwari does not play for CSK, hence no chance

I think Gambhir has already been given so many chances, he needs to be consistent enough to be in team

It seems BCCI has a contract guaranteeing Nohit all ODI's until 2015 WC irrespective of his performance.

@moindear: Indeed! Rohit has the backing of Gavaskar and Shastri (two very strong people in BCCI) for years! And that backing has only got strong since Sandeep Patil (Mumbai) has become the chief selector.

@Abhishek - Gambhir last 10 innings - 0,88,8,11,15,52,8,33,10,24 avg 25. All games in India except for the duck. Who needs a mental checkup? You could have probably said that Gambhir shoud've been picked cos of experience or give him another chance or something. He has done ok but not up to his standards. Also he has been getting out by trying to guide the ball down to thirdman when there are slips and gully in place with ball angling away. There is not one but many downsides of Gambhir that the selectors were forced to drop him. Next time check facts properly before running your mouth.

There is something called as IPL which is going on these days.

Ok so I'm going to dig in some IPL performances of Gambhir for you now.Currently he is at 9th position in the orange cap race having played 11 games where MS Dhoni who comes down the order has gotten 20 runs lesser than him. And he is averaging 29.09 which is the lowest in that category. Do you that that his performance is consistent enough? He has been dropped to hit form again by learning the hard way.

 

[AbhishekMSharma]

As an opener, you don't expect a player to have an high average. And comparison with Dhoni was nothing but lame.

 

[vicky24]

He is a genuine opener and someone of his class is supposed to have much better average and put out consistent performances from time to time especially in IPL since the conditions are favorable.
