Kuldeep already has something which Kumble didn't, turn & big turn at times. Batters these days rarely leave their crease & the preferred mode of dismissal is lbw/bowled for most spinners, even outside of Asia.

By being accurate he could induce more false strokes, he has to keep it relatively tight though. Too much reliance on flight would mean that he's prone to being slogged out of the attack. Unless the length & line is spot on he could be slogged in front of the wicket (both sides) as well as be vulnerable to the sweep, or reverse sweep. Have you seen Kumble's tour of Aus in 2003/04 & that ought be the template for Kuldeep in Aus? With Eng, NZ & SA it's a bit different but IMO beating opposition batters with flight is a losing battle, especially outside Asia, with the overly flat pitches we see these days. Accuracy & consistency is much, much more important, so is keeping it tight.

Yeah its true that having turn is of paramount importance and too much of flight if not landed accurately can be risky.

However flight (along with dip) allows you to induce mistakes on pitches where there isn't enough turn offer. Bishen Singh Bedi and Prasanna did very well in several outside Asia series due to that. Chandrasekhar and Underwood were more of a Kumble/Jaddu mould.

A spinner has to either turn & flight well OR keep it accurate & turn a few confusing the bats.

I am assuming you are saying Kuldeep has enough turn and some decent flight to make it work everywhere even if he doesn't get the dip and drift.

Interesting viewpoint.

His problem is that he turns the ball into the right hander despite being a wrist spinner.

He is left hand wrist spinner aka left hand leggie aka the correct term 'chinaman'. He turning the ball into the right handers and away left handers is perfectly normal. Am I missing something? What you meant by despite

 

[KhalidRafi]

Well it makes us seem like beggars really.

Either invite us for a proper series or not. No need to invite us out of pity or to please us.

No offense but you have don't very little in Tests since gaining status to earn the respect of top sides. Try winning an away Test match for one thing. And please don't say we beat Zimbabwe and that second string West Indian side. I'm talking current Top 8.

 

[KhalidRafi]

Playing even the one match should be a huge challenge for Bangladesh. Considering their injury prone squad.

the same west indies side you are talking about that just knocked you out in your home turf?

That zimbabwe side actually beat Pakistan right after we beat them. Weaker actually since you didn't have to face Jarvis.

 

[Sub-Zero]

I want to see Shakib score a 200 against India and Miraz taking a 10 wicket haul

 

[Sin Nombre]

Very disappointed with Bangladesh's performance in this match. I really want Bangladesh to do well but they're losing to a couple of nobody's here.

This group of nobody's would likely beat every test team bar India and Pakistan, and comfortably at that, in these conditions.

India A will defeat SA, Aus and England at home? Really?

 

[Sin Nombre]

India A will defeat SA, Aus and England at home? Really?

England drew 1-1 in BD and Aus lost 3-0 in SL.

So your question should be will this India A team beat BD and SL at home?


SA is a different story, rank turners and I would put money on India A's spinners.

Kuldeep Yadav replaces inured Mishra

NEW DELHI: Uncapped Uttar Pradesh left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav has earned his maiden call-up to an Indian Test squad following news of Amit Mishra being ruled out of the one-off match against Bangladesh in Hyderabad this week.

A BCCI release on Tuesday stated that legspinner Mishra was not available for the Bangladesh Test on account of a knee injury sustained during the third T20I against England last week, and that he requires further medical examination. Mishra played India's last Test, also against England, in December when Haryana team-mate Jayant Yadav was ruled out with injury.

Kuldeep, 22, has taken 81 wickets in 22 first-class matches at an average of 18.94 apiece. He finished the recent Ranji Trophy with 35 wickets in eight matches, with a best of 6/79, apart from scoring 466 runs at 35.84 with one century and five half-centuries. This earned him a place in the Rest of India team that won the Irani Cup over Ranji winners Gujarat, in which Kuldeep went wicketless.

He has now been added to India's Test squad after a good showing for India A in the practice game versus Bangladesh, taking three wickets including those of Mahmudullah, Soumya Sarkar and Mominul Hague.

The solitary Test match starts on Thursday in Hyderabad. This is the first Test visit by Bangladesh to India.

I hope Kuldeep gets a look in, it maybe his only shot for a long time because we will be playing serious teams from the next series where we might not be able to afford to give him a chance.

 

[ShoonyaSifar]

Awesome to see Kuldeep getting picked. Hopefully Kohli picks him (even if it means as Jayant's replacement its okay). Adds a lot of variety to our attack.

 

[Kaiser_Soze]

If i am not wrong he is the fourth choice spinner in a 1 test series squad. What a farce !! He won't get a look in ,in the near future also.

Somehow I'm not surprised you changed the subject and brought the argument back to Pakistan eventhough Pakistan had nothing to do with this thread. But still, let me repeat incase you didn't understand the first time. Your team will never be taken seriously no matter how many 3 match ODI series you win at home until you actually beat a top tier team in a Test match away from home.
