King Tendulkar Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Questions. Fitness of ZK any updates??? My thoughts 1. Bowling attack of pacers must include sree, zk, rp, Sharma 2. Rohit Sharma must be in squad. 3. Drop dada. 4. Gambhir must be in team. Link to comment

Rohit Sharma must be in squad. 3. Drop dada. 4. Gambhir must be in team. Too early for Sharma I say ... let him settle into International Cricket for a year or 2, and see how he handles it. Having said that, he does have an excellent technique. Link to comment

Zakhmi Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 OMG! Kaif in there? and Pravin kumar, too. I think Kaif is very well suitable upto domestic cricket. Pravin kumar is an ultimate risk to be taken on home pitches in tests. Link to comment
