Bisht… he has been overlooked. Better luck next time… very promising talent and hopefully when he gets the chance, he will do well.

I’m getting to know Pujara, from your erudite writings(you and other bloggers). Thank you for enlightening.

True RGB… like you I don’t really believe in fast tracking players. While I see Rohit sharma as a great potential, he has been rushed in too early and is faltering.

Pujara has perhaps earned his stripes and he has age on his side to keep proving and improving… so there is no hurry as the overall test team will still take a lot more time.

I do believe he has had stints at the A-sides. No real information about him. Let’s see how it goes.

I do plan start one soon. Will let you know. Thanks.

I agree that he is the one for the future. And thats why he should have been a regular in India A and the BP XI. I just want to be a little cautious about his Ranji exploits as of now.

We have promoted far too many inexperienced batsmen into the Indian team in the last few years. A stint with the India A team will give us a better idea for his preparedness for the Indian team.

AV… On soulberry’s blog, on pujara he had asked which player drew this kind of excitement in the domestic even before they played for India and I could only think of Laxman.

But Laxman will play for some time definitely and Dravid looks totally lost. If he does anything along the lines of these two guys, India will be more than happy.

His form reminds me of VVS Laxman’s domestic form before the Hyderabadi became a regular in the Indian side…I remember he got 10 hundreds in 12 innings or something close to that…don’t quite remember RD ever lighting up the domestic scene like Pujara…he lacks Laxman’s style and elegance but shares the same penchant for mammoth scores…I would say he’s closer to Laxman than to Dravid at least as far as domestic stature and form is concerned

Damith… am pretty interested to know how the Sl selectors are doing in discovering more batsmen… at the moment they have unearthed some very good bowling talent.

I say SL is poised to become the best test team in the world, the only missing areas are more match winning batsmen which currently is restricted to the big 2 of SL cricket.

How has Chamara come along BTW
