Well Whatever ..
He's in
This is what our best friend More had to say -

More insisted he was a valuable addition to the squad, saying: "We are looking at Mongia as an all-rounder, especially his ability to bowl left-arm spin.

"We have two off-spinners (Harbhajan Singh and Ramesh Powar) and we want more options in the spin department."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/other_international/india/5197904.stm

He's in and so is Mr. Sanath "allegedly on drugs" Jayasuria. I bet he and his buddies will be cracking open the champagne when they find out DM is in.

no actually, Sgusa is providing them some lovely Ruby Port for the occasion.

I hope Sgusa kind enough to get us drunk too while we watch Jaya hammer Mongia

now just wait and see. one of two things will happen:
a) mongia will get a 5fer in the first match
b) dravid will refuse to give him a bowl

Will he play in first match ?
Four bowlers + WK (AA,SS,HS,MP,MSD)
6 BAt (SRT,VS,RD,YS,SR,DM)

JFK - Mkaif is in direct contest with DM

2 of the three have to get in (SR,DM,MK)

dhruvdeepak · « **Reply #47 on:** July 20, 2006, 02:38:47 PM »

you forgot IKP.

certainties: SRT, RD, VS, YS + MSD + AA, HS

4 spots left for: SR, MK, DM, SS, MP, RPS, RP, IKP

you could have 1 bat (SR, MK, DM) + IKP + 2 bowlers (SS, MP, RPS, RP)

OR

2 bats + 2 of (IKP, SS, MP, RPS, RP)

--
Note: for someone who doesnt know we are talking about cricket this must seem like some complex mathematical equation. in a way it is.

My starting 11 for the 1st game:

SRT VS RD YS MK MSD IKP AA HS RP SS

OOOOOOOPS ..
This is all becase of GC - and his statements about IKP's confidence .

Quote from: dhruvdeepak on July 20, 2006, 02:38:47 PM

SRT VS RD YS MK MSD IKP AA HS RP SS

OK here starts the Mai- Mai and TU- TU.
First match- 6 Bat + 4 genuine bowl

SRT VS RD YS 2 of (MK,DM,SR) , MSD IKP AA HS SS

Apart from RD and MSD everybody can bowl.
Sanath (alleged druggist) will make no differnece if it is RPowar or VSehwag bowling.

Our batsmen are hopeless on slow and low pitches. I would rather play an extra bat and 4 bowlers : 3+1 or 2+2. SR, YS,VS can all bowl anyways. SRT I doubt will bowl.

only Kaif is hopeless (decode SWITCH N BUMP for proof), yet still i included him for the first game.

i agree on slow low pitches we can expect VS and YS to bowl instead of including a 5th bowler, but this team for the first/early gaames is sort of a hunch b/c i think the batsman are all going to get it together and perform.

I increased mine dot balls (

) while posts with you were underway, thus asked what was it.
Looks like there is another antisocial element who is against peace among some of the DGians.
Madam se bolkar- order the inquiry.

Here are some gems from the selection committee
(from http://www.telegraphindia.com/1060721/asp/sports/story_6506066.asp)
“We also considered Zaheer, but he did not fit into our plans.”

Again these elusive plans!!

(from http://www.hindu.com/2006/07/21/stories/2006072104122100.htm)

About Anil Kumble's selection for the one-dayers and his chances of playing the World Cup, More said the Karnataka leg-spinner had played enough cricket, bowled maximum overs and he could be brought back at any time. "We have certain plans for him and it will happen at the right time."

In another venue, the report claims that Anil was on board with these "plans". Clearly he is, because after having played "enough cricket", bowling "maximum overs", he promptly goes for a county stint (which as well know pays peanuts compared to what these guys make).

"Overall, I am happy with the Indian team's performance in the West Indies."

Yes, the test performance is clearly relevant for this OD series.

"We lost the series 4-1 in the West Indies, but all this happened after we lost the second match which we should have won."

Oh, moral victory for us then.

And my favorite:
Irfan Pathan, who had an indifferent tour to the Caribbean, received More’s backing. “Pathan is a very good cricketer and three bad matches does not mean he is a bad cricketer."

-P

you missed his gem on Dinesh Mongia. something to the tune of "we are looking at him as a bowling option. of course, his batting is a plus"

Exactly what he said about SG .. retains his consistency.

Kiran More : As long as the plans are in place, the results will surely follow
