Sehwag not dropped from Indian cricket team-the much hyped matchwinner


Sehwag has been selected for the Indian cricket team for the cricket World cup


Sehwag has been chosen in the Indian cricket team for the cricket World cup in the West Indies. The Indian cricket selectors chose experience over recent performance by selecting Sehwag,Agarkar,Yuvraj ahead of special players such as Ramesh Powar


Sehwag-the much hyped cricket matchwinner for the Indian cricket team


Sehwag has been selected in the Indian cricket team despite his recent poor performances.Ostensibly,Sehwag has been selected since he is a "matchwinner" and can win a cricket match for the Indian cricket team , by virtue of his own performance


I am not disputing that Sehwag is a matchwinner, but I would like to question the number of chances given to Virendra Sehwag compared to other players in the Indian cricket team. Compared to Sehwag,Joginder Singh,for example, was recently given only one cricket match to prove himself and was summarily chucked out


Compared to Sehwag,even Ganguly was given fewer chances and even thrown out of the team,that too after a good showing against the Pakistan cricket team


Well, lets hope that Sehwag does justice to the faith imposed by the selectors and scores during the cricket world cup

Ramesh Powar dropped.How Unfair!



Ramesh Powar
Originally uploaded by indiafotos.

Ramesh Powar has been dropped for the India Vs Sri Lanka cricket series


In an incredibly unfair decision, the Indian cricket selectors have dropped Ramesh Powar from the Indian cricket team. Dropping Ramesh Powar is a case of selecting the team for the cricket World cup in advance by keeping a key player out


Ramesh Powar-Are the Indian cricket selectors afraid to select Ramesh Powar?


Ramesh Powar has performed better than both Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh in any cricket one day international where Ramesh Powar has played in tandem with one of these great spinners.


Is it that Ramesh Powar has no place in the Indian cricket team since the Indian cricket selectors have already selected the team for the cricket World cup ? How very unfair to drop Ramesh Powar- India's best performing spinner


Ramesh Powar's fault- he is not flamboyant?


Ramesh Powar is not flamboyant or smart- he does his job of off-spin bowling extremely well,but does not give controversial television interviews or mocks the opposing batsmen like some of the so-called new generation bowlers such as Sreesanth.

That is probably Ramesh Powar's tragedy- he is not a larger than life figure,who is suited for many advertisements.There is no appreciation these days for a person like Ramesh Powar who only does his job extremely well

Ramesh Powar should be in Indian cricket team


Ramesh Powar should be in the Indian cricket team for the World cup cricket tournament


Ramesh Powar is being treated as only the possible third Indian spinner for the World cup cricket tournament


Why is Ramesh Powar treated in this way by the Indian selectors and the Indian think-tank?Time and again, Ramesh Powar has proved his worth, and repeatedly the Indian selectors have two-timed this energetic cricket performer.


Ramesh Powar is India's best one day international spinner


Surprised ? But really, Ramesh Powar has been India's best one day international spin bowler for some time now. Ramesh Powar is the best spinner based on recent statistics-GameCricket.com's fans are aware that GameCricket.com's statements are based on actual statistical data and not hype


In recent matches,Ramesh Powar has almost always performed better than Harbhajan Singh and Anil Kumble. Without taking anything away from Harbhajan and Kumble,Ramesh Powar to vary the flight of the ball and his ability to grab wickets are quite brilliant. Ramesh Powar has proved his worth in the West Indies, in the DLF cup ,in the Champions Trophy and now again against the West Indies cricket team


Ramesh Powar is not flamboyant but effective


Ramesh Powar may not have the Australian lean muscular body that the cricketers who are queuing to the gym seem to be craving for- but Ramesh Powar does an effective job for the role he has been selected for. Ramesh Powar takes his catches and bowls an effective line to the batsmen and takes wickets, after all ,isn't that his job?


Hope the Indian selectors are not cruel to Ramesh Powar and drop him for not being 'slim'
