Vadodara: Former chief cricket selector Kiran More yesterday (Jan 29,2007) said that the process put in place during his tenure was bearing dividends now, as evident in the emergence of players like Robin Uthappa and Dinesh Kaarthick.

"What you are seeing now is the process that we had started. We gave the chance at Indore (against England) to Uthappa and Kaarthick and they are showing their worth now," said the former India stumper here at the IPCL ground.

"What we are seeing now are players who can bat at a lot of positions and contribute in different ways to the team's success," he said.

"That's the process that we set forth out to do but unfortunately they got criticized in the media as excessive experimentation. Now other teams are following it, " he said.

More, who's also the secretary of the Baroda Cricket Association, praised the batting of Uthappa, saying he resembled batting great Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag in some of the strokes that he played in his blazing knock of 70 off 41 balls in the third one-dayer at Chennai.

"He batted superbly and some of his shots reminded me of Sachin and Sehwag," said the ex-India player who also praised Kaarthick as a utility cricketer who could be in the playing eleven along with first-choice wicketkeeper Dhoni.
