Expected more runs from jaddu. He is a no.7, that still counts as a frontline batsman

Is it for real. Even cricinfo in troll mode. But all hail the great Sir today. Played a crucial innings of 45. Brutal batting
from the master. All of you haters get down on your knees and show some respect to the legend

yeah,looked good.methinks he'll go to SA now.Whether thats good or bad I dont know
Jaddu is actually a better bowler than unlucjy Sharma....even in seaming conditions....there I said it. His batting though...lets just say it wil be fun to watch in SA![]()
he wont play,but I think he has surpassed Ojha as backup option to Ashwin
Yuvi is a better bat and bowler. Why does he get the nod over Yuvi?
That said I do think he cops a lot of flak from Indian fans. He ain't that bad.
I would rather play Yadav, Kumar, Ashwin, and Ojha/Jaddu instead of picking Sharma at the expennse of another deserving bowler. Maybe if Shami Ahmed is picked I would drop Ojha/Jadeja. Unlucky Sharma is just going to lay an egg in SA too. He is useless period.
Have you got a link sounds like something to watchThe send off to Warner was funny.
Would love to see him bowling in SA, he'd have Amla and AB shaking in their boots.
You have got to be joking. AB and Amla will slaughter him. AB is not even bothered by![]()
Utility player but he will get milked to death in SA by Amla and Kallis.
Jadeja got Clarke five times. Clarke is one man who could have changed the fate of the series, but it was not to be. Jadeja would be winning more hearts than ever before in India. He would be talked of as a "potential failure" abroad, but how many Indian bowlers have been successful abroad? Me thinks Jadeja is here to stay. He may not reach the legendary status but he may continue to win matches for India.
Jaddu is winning hearts now.....
Brillaint !!! I like underdogs winning.....
Can't remember a young player been subjected to as much ridicule as Jadeja has copped since making his debut for India. Takes loads of mental fortitude to set all that criticism aside and do well at the test level.
He may or may not go onto have a long and successful career, but the way he has turned around his career is commendable. With a 2 mn dollar paycheck , he could have become complacent focussed on IPL and T20 cricket, but he kept saying playing test cricket is his ultimate goal and grabbed his chance gleefully.
Props to Dhoni too for showing faith in him in Jadeja's skills.
Y
Poor guy has been targeted unfairly ever since he went for an awful lot of runs in a T20 match. He has always been a decent ODI bowler under Indian conditions. I think his status is beginning to change and one more good series will erase many more bad memories.
Yuvi is a better bat and bowler. Why does he get the nod over Yuvi?

People think of the darnest things..![]()
The guy is a living legend. Clarke who completely thrashed South Africa, got double hundreds over and over is now Jaddu's bunny. Just watched Hrithik Roshan's Koi mil Gaya, jaadu needed some dhoop and now he's back in the game.![]()
Not quite.
His performance in some of the ODIs been woeful too. He failed many times and Dhoni's persistence with him was questioned.
I too wasnt a big fan of his, but after the recent series he has come across as an improved cricketer. If he is able to get more results in the future then kudos to him and Dhoni ofc. But let few more series go by. Still early days.

This is why!

Never heard of this (WG)Grace bloke but he must have been bloody good if you're mentioning him in the same terms as Jadeja.
Great piece as usual, OB!
Sri Sri Ravindra Jadeja is a legend who is more versatile that the great Gary Sobers. He was chosen as a batsman who could bowl, but he turned out to be a bowler who could sometimes bat.... What a googly... what a player. Cant wait to see what he pulls off in South Africa. He might even defend Dale Steyn twice off the back foot.
WG Grace is being compared with Sir Ravindra Jadeja? The bearded man must have been some cricketer then!!![]()
Respect!
You are joking right? I have never heard someone calling Hodge an ATG, or someone like thomas-one of the best pace bowlers of all time despite their domestic performance. The thing is domestic performance do not really count.
What about Rohit? Surely he is an ATG having a 60 average in tests?
If you follow the thread, you will get the drift of it.![]()
^ Looks like your wish is granted.![]()
All hail Sir Jadeja.
