Its has been the curse of TamilNadu Cricket for a long long time now and it just continues over and over now. I am talking about the recent failures of S.Badrinath in the Irani Trophy and the BPXI game against the Aussies. I am sure Srikkanth must be feeling let down so much more than Badrinath himself, Cheeka picked Badri ahead of Youraj,R.Sharma and Kholi for the first 2 test matches. All the three scored hundreads in the practice game and proved the selection commitees selection of badrinath is wrong.
Chances of playing in the XI in the first test is very bleak with fab-4 and the openers in Sehwag and Gambhir are fit and certain to play in the test. If any one of the fab-4 gets hurt and not fit for the 2nd test there will be a chance for him to play the match, if that does not happen i think this is the end of his international carrier and has to slog in the domestic cricket for rest of his cricketing life.
Badri is not alone and he has many many cricketers from TamilNadu in the past who have wasted the chances that has come their way. S.Sriram,Dinesh Karthick,L.Balaji,W.V.Raman,B.Arun,Sharath (has never scored runs against the visiting teams, even though he has scored tons and tons of runs in domestic cricket) the list is just endless.
M.Vijay has been exceptional in the past couple of seasons and has been good in performing in the A matches and he is the next in line to make an impression and the only hope from TN to make it into Team India. I just pray and wish the people who are involved in running the sport in tamil nadu needs to do something to make sure he also does not go the way the past cricketers from TN have gone.
