[LosingNow]

Let's do some fresh talent spotting here. Dont go by U-19 or not.

Here's a start..

Jakati
Naman Ojha
Kamran Khan
Amit Singh
Bhatia
Srivats Goswami(again)

I also like Maqsusi and Suman of DC

WN:What exactly has Goswami done.  He has been found wanting from what I saw.  He is in a set up which is very player friendly and liberal if you consider RD and AK are real nice guys and even gave Jaffer chances when he is not wanted by his own Mumbai team.  Goswami should be sucking big time in the nets if not AK and RD would have brought him in and given him a good run.  Remember they basically are giving a free run to RU and brought Kohli up the order.  These guys really like to promote talent and Goswami perhaps still needs nurturing.

Reasonably ok - kulkarni, sangwan, raut, mishra

Agree with Rams here. Even in the two matches he played he was very scratchy. Also including Kamran Khan and Amit Singh after they have been repeatedly been cited for dodgy action is blasphemy. I am sure someone of Warne and Beery's caliber were aware of this and they still played him and got 1-2 wins based on their performance. It is tragedy to be honest and these are the instances which can be used to show IPL as 'not a serious cricket'

Define "serious" for me?

[pzd]

Add Appanna & Tyagi to the mix

[poondu]

I am with ganavk. Kamran and Amit Singh- let them bowl legally and see how many wickets they can pick. Then we can add them to the list.

Sangwan despite picking wickets recently is not swinging the ball and has not picked up pace. He looked so good in the U-19 WC.

Dhawal Kulkarni is a useless bowler.

I don't Goswami is fit for this format. He cannot force the pace. He seems to be a better fit for the longer version. I am not even sure if he did well in domestic cricket this time.

Sudeep Tyagi is looking good, but MSD is not using him in the end overs. So don't know how well he will perform in the death..

[armchair_critic]

I am not too thrilled with Naman Ojha. He did not look in control in the one big innings I saw.

worth a mention : Abhishek Nayar, Ajinkya Rahane

T Suman has been the most impressive IMO

Bhatia?! Are you serious?! He's been playing Ranji for the past ten years. Maybe by emerge you mean, you have paid attention to him
He's just hit the purple patch...otherwise his India ship sailed a decade ago.

[12th_Man]

Jataki,Naman and Suman have been impressive for me.

Not comedy ?

Add Appanna & Tyagi to the mix

Appanna has been playing Ranji for quite some time for Karnataka and he has been impressive. I saw him bowling against Aus 19 around a 2 years ago in Mysore and was very very impressive. Marcus North was his bunny in that series if I remember correctly. Al though not veteran, Vinaya Kumar is also doing good for BRC

[justforkix]

What abput Nehra - emerging from the Ashes 

That too..

..but lets focus on the newbies for now

emerging from Ashes, alive and kicking and tormenting  now 

[gouravk]

no .. he's not ..

[Cover Point]

Punjabis played out Nehra today .... showing him respect and went after bowlers like Vettori in spinning conditions. I think that should be proof enough that he needs to be considered for the WC

[gouravk]

wah ! so all people whom punjabis respect should be in the world cup ! wah re logic !

[flamy]

Maqsusi is major suck. Suman is just hit and miss, nothing special. Appanna - not international quality.

Only worthy talents from this IPL are:

Jakati
Kamran Khan (if he can fix his action and get some variety)

What abput Nehra - emerging from the Ashes

emerging from Ashes, alive and kicking and tormenting  now 

is getting frequently tormented these days by Delhi players

Last year YKP was hit and miss

not tormented. just bored.

but his hits aren't that big, are they?

Flamy:
Want to revise your thoughts on Suman after today?

I think he has a limited range of strokes.. but I think he can be a handy 20-20 player (perhaps LOI too). He is a clean striker of the ball, bowls decently and is a good fielder.

BTW, even VS is a hit or miss player.. imo, 20-20 is all about who can take pressure.. this guy can and that is very important.

[vincent]

The new ones need to replace the oldies (not counting the retired or semi-retired from T20 people like SG,RD,AK etc)? What about the performances sofar of Uthappa, Harbhajan, Parthiv Patel, Ishant etc?

The surprise packages have been Nehra and Munaf Patel.

please dont compare VS with these guys...that's quite insulting to a man who averages 50+ in tests. just bc he has an aggressive style does not make him a hit-miss player.

[natty]

I dont see anyone who has a chance of making the India T20 squad in the next year (Nayar, maybe).   All the rest dont replace anyone currently. Giving chances to so many Indian players hasnt unearthed anyone and made the quality of play a little more mediocre than it needs to be.

[gouravk]

well no on eyet. but there are some "products" in the making. goswami, tyagi, suman, nayyar are the names that come to mind.

jadeja was already made last year but i hope he shines brighter this time around.

and didnt last year we have gony, dinda, etc?

[gouravk]

yep. gony didnt impress but i don think he got the right chances. dinda was never given a chance.

[dextrous]

Jaskaran Singh...for example, batted at #10 for deccan chargers...and didn't bowl.

Who wins? Jaskaran Singh for fielding? Fans? Franchise?

[gouravk]

it is ridiculous really ... i agree ... 

[mm]

Not too many new talents unfortunately. 

Tyagi is the standout one in my view - nice clean action, good pace, extracts bounce.

Suman is on the fringe, he should be given more opportunities and Goswami too, I think he can be the next Gilchrist.

Ojha and the rest are not cut out for it at the top level. I also think the Mumbaikars - Nayar, Kulkarni and other inept players (Nayar is actually pretty good) will get a look in because of the Bombay Brigade (Gavaskar, Shastri, Vengsarkar, Manjrekar).
