And we have more of the same today, one change with Mantri out. Those top order ratings would be 'good' if the average age were 24 including the keeper.Sutty101 wrote:The top order batting rating for 4 players with an average age of 26 was downright hopeless...
LeCras is an exceptional rating 24yo with enough fielding and I was actually surprised he got selected for the tour infront of someone like Seshan who wasn't (given the history of tour selections). He is one who hasn't performed either.
And not forgetting the short careers of Lath, Tapas, Bhanjee, Vasuman as batsmen a few seasons ago and these extended careers. The Senior team is unlikely to ever reach the heights of the U19s.
Going back to Shahikanth Mahajan. He certainly is better than Topon Das who has been in the squad for quite a while without ever playing a match, they both I believe are seam all-rounders. Then there is Akib and not sure of any others pressing if at all.
