Virender Sehwag retained his place, despite his recent injury which forced him out of the Asia Cup just after 2 matches. Besides Gambhir and Sehwag, Tamil Nadu batsman Murali Vijay is the third specialist opener named in the squad. Veteran batsmen Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman have kept their places, while wicketkeeper batsmen Dhoni would lead the side. The Indian captain has been in superb form recently as it would be proven by his last 7 test scores: 132*, 25, 6, 89, 100*, 4 and 110.
Surprisingly Indian selectors named only 3 pacers in the squad. What is more surprising is that Ishant Sharma and Sreesanth have been recalled to the test squad, even though they did not have any impressive performance in the recent past. In fact, they did not have enough opportunity to prove their form and fitness. It is a matter of serious question that how two pacers with lack of match practice can be picked up for an important series like this one.
There is no doubt, Ashok Dinda and Vinay Kumar were not impressive enough to give a thought for the test squad, but Praveen Kumar, who has been pretty much consistent over the last few tournaments, could have been awarded a place in the test squad. More importantly, Ashish Nehra with his experience and recent fine form should have been recalled for the test series.
There are many who may criticize the selectors for the selection of Wriddhiman Saha as the back up for wicketkeeper MS Dhoni. It is true that he could not capitalize on his test debut against

ReplyDeletewhy the bull shit these loafers are not considering Irfan Pathan, inspite of bad form ishant and sreesanth has been included in the team
ReplyDeletebut inspite of playing well in ipl irfan is not even considered for 16 man squad. You bloody hindus always partiality with your community
laofers, you know what we call for these kind of bastards like srikanth they are pimps
Why is Jadeja and nehra not in the team they will be of great help to us!!!!
ReplyDeleteirfan should be part of indian squad in test,odi and t20 because player of his class is not in india..
ReplyDeleteWhy the fuck are sharma and sreeshanth are included
ReplyDeletegood team
ReplyDeleteirfan should come in test squad because he is good allrounder and match winer player
ReplyDeletewho is tht mother fucker calling bloody Hindus . tht basted, dosent know that India is a Democratic country and every religion has it importance . Its players who are selected according to their performance and not by their relegion . If Hindus had to to be partial then Zaheer was not in team . I dont doubt tht irfan phatan is a good all rounder and india needs some one like him in team . Its sad tht he is not in the team , but why the hell you commented on a specific religion 'Hindu' we never address irfan phatan as a Muslim , first he is an Indian and then he belongs to Muslim religion. This is a sport not a religious fight , you should understand this . if not then dont call yourself as an Indian !!!
ReplyDeleteIts a good batting squad but regarding bowling Indians cannot cope with sreesanth and sharma
ReplyDeleteya i aggree wit u that every citizen od india is first a indian and then to their community. But selectors of our team r doing partiality is 100% true coz u can see 1 south indian coz of shrikant. and he should giv a chance to IRFAN to bounce back.
ReplyDeleteanother thing to add cant indian tem get 1 fast bowler who can bowl at a speed of 150 km from the public of 100 crores. its too unacceptable. this shows our selectors r fuck
