Hi All,
Selectors are to annouce the test team this week. For whatever it is worth below is what I feel it should be. Am sure we can trust them to do some chaotic decisions... Here goes.
Sehwag Jaffer Dravid Tendulkar Laxman Ganguly Dhoni Kumble Zaheer Shreesanth Munaf 12-16 : Opener - Akash Chopra, Spinner - Harbhajan, Fast - Pathan, Balaji ( am sure they will not take him and will take VRV Singh). MiddleOrder - I dont know...we should find some experienced person 27-30 yr old who knows what it is to play. Am sure they will take Kaif to keep Ganguly out however. Dump for ever :- Raina, Mongia, Kaif. PS - It is sad to note that earlier it was uthapa, venugopal, then kaif, raina, mongia..now dinesh k...all these are in the top 5 indian bats and get to play as the 5th batsman..wow. .and we keep laxman and ganguly out on grounds of age and fitness..what a shame.....
Had age been a reason, there would be nop McGrath, Langer, Hayden, Warne and Martyn in Australian team.
