I'm sorry but how on earth has nobody included Shakib Al Hasan!!!
-
Probably because most of us don't follow Bangladeshi cricket as closely as we do other nations. If this topic were to be created after the upcoming series in Bangladesh things might be very different.

I follow world cricket mate! This lad is fantastic and is Worcestershire's overseas player this year...

Yeah, wouldn't say it takes a lot to know about the worlds best ODI allrounder.

Shakib Al Hasan was the Wisden Cricketers Player of the Year 2009! Most of the bangladeshi team is young and talented and in a couple of years they will be very good.
My Team:
Phil Hughes (before he got found out)
Sam Northeast
Ross Taylor
Umar Akmal (best young batsman on the scene?)
Rory Hamilton Brown
Shakib Al Hasan *C*
Dinesh Ramdin *W* (best/only young WK on the scene)
Stuart Broad (really come of age this year)
Ajantha Mendis
Muhammad Aamir (best young bowler for sure)
Wayne Parnell

would love Chawla to make it tbh :)
Piyush Chawla is a spent force at the age of 21! He was another talented youngster thrusted into the International arena to soon. The main problem for Chawla is the lack of a big ripping leg break and he's obsessed with his wrong un. He usually bowls a googly an over, sometimes even 2 or 3 googlies an over. The only chance Chawla has if he turns himself into an all-rounder(I mean a proper all-rounder, someone averaging 40 with the bat and under 30 with the ball), which isn't going to happen as his batting is far to gung ho and he doesn't bat to the situation.
Chawla is destined to follow other Indian leg spinners, whom where selected too soon i.e. Laxman Sivaramakrishnan and Narendra Hirwani.

Hes only 21 bear in mind, youre talking as if his career is over and he has no hope of being selected again! Hes a very talented cricketer as the Sussex faithful will back me up im sure, i think he took 37 wickets in 6 fc games this year so hes obviously doing something right. Much like Rashid its about homing his skills consistently. He isnt a 'spent force' yet, we can only pass those judgements at the end of his career.

Umar Akmal captain? He has no captaincy experience, Shakib is a better pick! And Sherwin Ganga for t20 only! Josh Cobb is yet to go big at FC level, perhaps James Taylor/Sam Northeast wouldve been a better shout. Can i also throw in Shiv Thakor, almost selected for Leicestershire 1sts last season aged 15!
-
any team would have to have Raina and Kholi in it.. Both would make the middle order really strong plus they are good fielders.. Raina is a useful part time spin option also..

Agreed, theyre holding their own now in int. cricket, and finally scoring runs that they can.

No offence, but English County cricketers are hardly world class players of leg spin. I mean Kaneria plays for Essex every year and gets truck loads of wickets, and he's an average International cricketer.
In India, an International career starts earlier than in England, Chawla debuted as a 17 year old, England wouldn't dare debut someone that young. Therefore Chawla's confidence has already been damaged. Also he isn't a big threat in domestic cricket in India, he often goes wicket less on spinning tracks. And it nearly all ways out bowled by Mishra, who plays for a weaker side.
Time is running out for Chawla already, there is an 16 year old left spinner coming through and he's being raved as the new Bishen Bedi(India has been searching for a world class left arm spinner since Bedi went in the 1980's!!!)
-
Indian media hypes young players like no tomorrow.. Raina was hyped to be to be the next Sachin, Chawla was suppose to be the next Kumble.. Indian media is just dumb.. Let Raina be Raina and Chawla be Chawla.. Raina was dropped for awhile also but was brought back in the side same can happen with Chawla there is plenty of time for him to make a career in international cricket.. doesn't have to look much further than the current Indian team.. Nehra, Shree, Zaheer all of them were dropped for awhile they came back...

The ECB dont do that because they realize the consequences of doing that, and it going wrong. You will have a ruined cricketer. Sorry Kaneria is average? Are you kidding? hes world class! Hes just come off a load of wickets vs New zealand and a five wicket haul against australia and is the first ever Pakistani spinner to get 250 test wickets, more than Qadir/Mustaq/Saqlian etc etc, sounds pretty good to me. Chawlas debut against England was premature, but in all fairness 59 fc matches and 243 wickets, that says this lad can bowl, never mind his all round potential (batting average of 26 with 1 hundred). He's claimed 28 wickets in 21 games in ODI cricket at 4.99 an over, so hes hardly been carted around.
Perhaps India will pick this left armer and ruin him too, much like they 'ruined' Chawla.

That's a matter of opinion. Sides from the sub-continent all ways pick players young and there's only a few that have an unfulfilled career.
Kaneria averages 34 in Test cricket, that isn't world class. More wickets doesn't make Kaneria better than Saqlain or Qadir.

Raina was meant to be the new Ganguly. Rohit was hyped as the new Sachin. If anyone is going to be the new Sachin, it's going to be Rahane, he's a run machine.
Fast bowlers get more chances than spinners. There have been plenty of decent spinners ditched after their first few matches and never picked again.

So Qadir averaged 33! And played 67 Matches compared to Kanerias 57! You could argue also that the time of pitches turning square and teams being rolled over by spinners for 100 or less is gone, therefore of course his average is going to be higher. He is the best leggie in the world at the moment, therefore he is world class.
-
Qadir didn't need to bully weak sides like Bangladesh, which are Kaneria's favourite opposition. If you removed Kaneria's minnow bashing, then his average is 214 wickets @ 37 and a strike rate of 72.
-
So by your judgement, every single bowler/batsman that has had the task of playing against Bangladesh/Zimbabwe should lose all their runs/wickets/catches because theyre 'weaker opposition'. Hmmmmmmmmm.

No certainly not, but if a supposed 'world class' player like Kaneria averages above 40 against Australia, India and England, then he's not worthy to play against the smaller sides. The great players earn the right to play the smaller sides, with what they achieve against the stronger teams. My method of thinking anyway.

who is josh cobb ?

Does seem as though Ahsvir picked him just because he's young.
http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/content/player/297635.html James Taylor is also young, but exceptionally good as well.

Adrian Barath and Angelo Mathews are two to look out for in the future...

If I'm an 'idiot', then your the biggest moron to set foot on God's Earth.
Jamshed is rubbish. He tries to belt the cover of the ball every shot.
Uthappa had his chance and wasted it, also if India was after a top order batsman, then C Pujara is far more gifted than Uthappa.
Mohamed Sami averages 50 with the ball in Test matches, hardly a superstar. Coupled with the fact he's 28, so neither a young gun or any good.

Well that it's just stating the obvious, I could've wrote that article FFS.
If you haven't heard of the majority of the names on there than you're hardly a fan of world cricket.
My point was I'd have preferred to see some insight in the article, conisdering it talks of players to watch over the entire of the next decade I feel they could have picked a few more obscure players, not just young ones.

Noone forget Virat Kohli! He's shaping up to be a terrific, stable headed batsman!

Why label him the next Tendulkar? Remember him just as Virat Kohli
-
Who was Tendulkar meant to be the next of?
-
Sachin was The new Little Master - Sunny G
Jeet, what do you think of Pujara? Genuine international prospect or new generation Badrinath/Venugopal/Tiwary?
-
Tiwary's injury was a shame.. Hopefully he'll make a comeback.. For the life of me I can figure out how India has so many young promising batsman and no fast bowlers.. I guess everyone wants the be the next Sachin... Need a next Kapil Dev or the first Wasim or Imran..
-

Jeet, what do you think of Pujara? Genuine international prospect or new generation Badrinath/Venugopal/Tiwary?
I think Pujara is the real deal. Very good technique, good of front and back foot and has the ability to bat for long periods. He's bats in a similar style to Dravid and could replace Dravid, at 3, in the near future. Only problem for Pujara is that M Vijay seems to be the flavour of the month atm and Pujara has to leapfrog him.
Badrinath's been treated very poorly IMO. He's a mighty fine player, and I have no doubt that he would be better than Yuvraj in Test matches.
-
Tamim Iqbal the best young & most talented opener around thesedays. He reminds me of Pakistan's Saeed Anwar.(http://www.cricinfo.com/db/PICTURES/CMS/113400/113456.jpg)
-
Badrinath's been treated very poorly IMO. He's a mighty fine player, and I have no doubt that he would be better than Yuvraj in Test matches.
He now has a chance ... picked to play S Africa.
And he is not as marketable as Yuvraj ... one failure and Badri will be out again.
-
just got picked..
-
Alvaro - I get the point you about Yuvraj being a better marketing tool, for the BCCI. But I'd much rather have a classy Badrinath, who's mentally strong and able to bat in tough situations, than Yuvraj going in at 6 and swinging the bat wildly.
Badrinath's got 2 matches to make his mark. He has to bat at 3 as well. No point playing him at 6.

I'm with you completely. Yuvraj is a prominent, card-carrying member of the 'flat tracks, small boundaries and massive bat' benefactors. He no like the swing.
Is it a tough blow for a motivated Parthiv not being picked as reserve 'keeper? Or has he resigned himself to being a state star for Gujurat?
-
Not even sure if he's the main state star.. Irfan, Munaf, Jadeja.. another career killed by calling him the next Kiran More...
-
CD - I would say Parthiv is the star of the Gujarat side. Munaf and Irfan play for Baroda. Pujara and Jadeja play for Saurashtra. All are Gujarati but play for the numerous different sides in Gujarat! India needs more Gujarati's in the national side!!!
-
Ya your right about their Ranji affiliation, I meant geographically..
I can't wait to see Irfan back in the national team.. I think he is our best all-rounder in the country.. bowling was hampered but he hasn't been given a long enough time to make a comeback in International cricket..
haha for sure more gujus on the national team would be a pleasure.. but only if they deserve it.. even though Munaf is a guju and from my hometown wouldn't want to see him in the national team.. think we have way better cricketers compared to him..
-
Personally, I think it's time Laxman retired and Yuvraj was shown the door from the Test side.
I mean, guys like Rahane, Pujara, Rohit, Raina and Tiwary need to play Test cricket. BCCI can't make them wait forever like they did with S. Badrinath.
Yes, Munaf was good for the first 18-24 months. Then for some unknown reason went off the boil. This seems a worrying theme for India's fast bowlers. Zaheer,Munaf, RP Singh, Sreesanth and most recently Irfan and Ishant. At least Zaheer didn't waste his second coming. Irfan needs to ensure that when he gets another chance, he grabs it with boths hand. Then maybe India will have two Gujarati's in the side!!!

-
10. Ishant Sharma
in my opinion he isnt good enough for test cricket!!!!!
Based on what? Before he's form went south, he was fast and moved the ball both ways.
He also has had Punter Ponting in his back pocket, not too many bowlers can say that.
