Jokes aside, he needs to get dropped.

Still no 1 though

ishant sharma is most talentless player in cricket history. He keeps on bragging that short ball is is strength when that is where most players have taken him apart.

Needs to be dropped. a player that averages 40 after 50 tests has no chance of improving.

I can't believe there isn't a better bowler than I Sharma in a country of 1.2B people! Surely, there have to be a few better Sharmas.

Among players who bowled at least 500 overs in ODIs, Elton Chigambura is the only player whose economy rate is worse than I Sharma's.

Ishant has the worst bowling average among pace bowlers with at least 100 wickets in test cricket. Worse than Devon Malcolm!

He is poor. People have been saying this for a while.

How he still gets in the team is either a few powerful connections

Or since people at the BCCI still hold some hope

Does Dhoni have a say in the selection?

These are the pace bowlers India used in ODIs in the past 5 years:

Is there anyone you see on the list that could replace Ishant?

tbh the problem with india is we barely have a pool of fast bowlers. in the last 5 years ishant has taken the most wickets. and most of those bowlers who have bowled in the last 5 years are all old.
BCCI isnt doing enough to search for decent bowlers and also by providing pitches where 500 is chasable isnt doing any favours for young aspiring fast bowlers.

Is Z Khan retired, out of form, or unfit?
There is an opening bowler for Dhoni's IPL team, can't remember his name, not much faster than B Kumar and V Kumar, but looked effective in that version. How is he in the 50-over format?

zak will be back. he will be our main bowler come 2015 wc, or test series next year. hopefully bcci manage him properly and dont play him in unnecessary games.

What's happend to Yadav and that Aaron bowler? Both are very quick and can easily bowl at 90mph.

I recall Yadav was injured. Never heard of the Aaron fella. There was a Patel, who also has disappeared.
