Finally suresh raina got a chance to debue in test cricket. he got a amazing record of playing test after playing 98 Odi matches. its arecord in international cricket. he waited long to get a chance in indian test team. he has shown his talent in odi and t20, no its the real test to show his talent on test cricket.he has captained indian team for zimbawe tour, he getting his test cap after captaining indian odi team.he is a dedicated player and always perfom well even when the team is under pressure. will he perform well in test cricket?

suresh raina is a young talent and future legend of indian cricket. he is the next captain to dhoni. so its better for the team management to keep him on the team for ever. he will surely perform well in indian test team. all the best for his bright career

Normally Raina's temperament suits ODIs and T20s. I like his game style. If he can change that temperament to suit test cricket, he will surely be a good test batsman. We have to observe him for some test matches and then only we can decide on his game.

but it seems that he had captured the position from his debut match itself. he will be a good test player for india

Raina is no doubt a good player. But you can't decide on his test performance from only one innings. The pitch they are playing on now is a dud. His true potential will be known when he plays on pitches like Perth or pitches assisting swing bowlers.

Isn't it great to create a world record in your first test match. :) Of course, Raina would not have preferred to have this record, but now he has overtake Symonds who played his first test after 94 matches. I think he is a very talented batsmen with a good temperament. Though he is very suspect against short pitch bowling and his real test would come on tracks in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa where the ball will bounce higher!! Cheers! Ram

ya its nice to start with a record in test match. he started by making a record in his debut. sub cotinent wickets are good batting tracks, so as you said he should perform in australian codition also, that will make him a good player.

I'm a great fan of Suresh Raina..He is one of the best youngster we got..He has a great talent..But when it comes to test cricket it is entirely different..Everyone can't be like sehwag,who always plays a test match like T20.....so suresh should have the patience when he is batting..If he want to score quickly then no way he can play good....SO test match is entirely different..I really want him to score good runs in this test series.. Hope he gives his best... Happy mylotting..

Hello, I don't think he can improve in test cricket.He is definitely a talented player.He performs well in odi's and t20's.This is his first match.He has to sure hit a half-century at least to get a place in dhoni' heart.He should do something to impress selectors .I hope he performs well and gets his spot fr a long period.Thanks for starting this discussion about raina.

hello, He got a half century in his debut match.He stood with sachin to build a good partnership.He must be impressed by the selectors .Dhoni must have also congratulated him..He should continue in this form so that he gets his spot in the test permanently.Yeah ,you are right he has a great future in the test.All the best SURESH RAINA.

His temperament is superb as a cricketer , recent innings against Pakistan in Asia cup is an example, he can handle pressure well ,though my personal thinking is Rohit sharma and Virat kohli are more talented, but this guy deserves more.No wonder he got a test cap .He is one for the future definitely.

rohith sharma is a very good test player, look at the record raina created,raina got chance only after 98 odi's so virat and rohit should wait a lot more. probably till the retirement of sachin dravid and laxman.

Dear friend, I do like the way Suren Raina plays, surely he is talented players. Moreover it seems he needs much chances to prove his mental in internation field. He had proved to be well in domestic matches. Moreover it all depends how consists he could in coming matches.

so do you feel that it took a long time to give him a chance? did he deserved to be in indian test team so early? anyway currently he is performing well and hope that he will continue it.

I would like to see Suresh Raina playing in tests more when India is touring SOuth Africa or Australia, then his real talent will come out, how good he is against the short pitch stuff. Until then I am not sure he is complete player but on debut he had scored an hundred and missed out a double hundred on a batting paradise SCC stadium. Whatever, scoring a hundred on debut is something even Sachin Tendulkar also haven't achieved, so, I will say it was great knock. Raina has good support from selectors and lot is expected from him by the selectors as well as captain M S Dhoni. Now all Raina has to do is execute his skills on the big stage that is Test cricket.. I wish him all the best and he is future of India. Hope we don't have to look at failure batsmen like Yuvaraj and Kaif,etc in tests..
