you insane ? don't even compare ash' value as a batsman to a team which fields the likes of sachin, sanath, bravo and duminy to a world class all rounder like shakib.

as for mash @ KKR, that was down to one aussie genius who was busy giving jobs to friends and family. cricket was the last thing on his mind and he ran KKR. this time would have been different. whatever cr*p IPL is, the chance to share and practice with the greats and legends would have been a great learning experience. those small things make all the difference between a good player and an excellent layer. given how developed shakib is as a player, I don't think there is much he can learn from county as a cricketer.

Our player will learn most negative side of a great. Do you know last time what Ash learn from Tendu?
Tendu doesn't practice much in net.

I don't believe that.

Maybe, none of the teams needed the services of an allrounder, even though, he is the No1 in the world. Probably a blessing in disguise. Only Allah knows what is best and He acts in mysterious ways.
He is young and he has lots of opportunity to make a lot of money before he reaches 30 years of age.

if that's true then ash is truly a gadha. sachin doesn't practice much NOW, nearing 37 years because he has to conserve his ageing body. from his early teens to 30's SRT was probably the most hard working cricketer of his generation. to prepare for playing shane warne in 1998 he flied in laxman shivaramakrishnan at his own expense and practiced playing leg-spin for a month ! the result ?
at the end of the tour warne confessed that he was having nightmares of sachin hitting him for sixers again and again.
that is the amount of effort, hardwork and commitment he puts into his cricket.

lol - Tendu is a bad influence on Ash - no wonder he under performs all the time.

I opened the thread to read up on 'Shakib the most wanted for IPL' just to find out he wasnt selected ... well if Eng match is overlapping with IPL, I am glad that he wasnt selected.

it's true. but that is now. at ash' age SRT probably practiced and played more in a year than a player does in 5 years of his career.

I mean this person has been playing top level cricket for about 2 decades now, that, after coming through the extremely rigorous training of mumbai cricketing school.
he probably has played some of the shots more number of times in actual international matches than players do in a lifetime of practice ! it's all imbibed in his muscle memory by now. at his level, practice is more of a focused polishing of one aspect of the game. it's the quality that matters now, not quantity.

SRT may have been a diamond but tens of thousands of hours of hardwork has gone into polishing that into the gem that he is today.

Mortaza will earn a cool 600K plus again without playing a single game.

He did play one..but still (just one less than yours).

[Purbasha T]

Would've liked Shakib to be sold...but as we can see we'll have Eng series, so no harm done.

That shows Ash's negative side if thats what he learnt from Sachin. If he had just asked him questions he would have learnt more things than he will do playing. As for Sachin not practicing for T20s its not his priority, he doesnt even play for India in T20s, even today he most certainly does nets before, during test matches.

This is from before the Australia series last year.

May be his failures to handle pressure situations have ruled him out. During tri-series, he fell both times he got chances to bat during pp. Also, even in DPL, he turned out be ineffective as a bowler during death overs.
