Team for Ahmedabad - 2nd Test

[Temujin Khaghan]

or take pathan as a fifth bowling option...

[sm332]

strong case can be made to include a 5th bowler depending on the conditions

[Sachinism]

wtf man this is BS kaif has been in decent form, but there have been other players in better form

[sm332]

what more do folks like Badri have to do to get a chance?

[Holysmoke]

Doesnt matter. Yuvraj will be in the 11. Kaif will carry drinks/sub.

[The Outsider]

If it's a choice between Yuvraj and Kaif, Kaif has to play ahead of Yuseless. Personally I would have neither in the test team as of now.

[cochise]

Yuvi the King is back!!!!

[Holysmoke]

If it's a choice between Yuvraj and Kaif' date=' Kaif has to play ahead of Yuseless. Personally I would have neither in the test team as of now.[/quote'] yeah, I'd have Sharma in there.

[sm332]

yeah' date=' I'd have Sharma in there.[/quote'] what claptrap ... he has done nothing in the domestics to deserve a call up ... at least Kaif ha had a decent FC season ... Sharma is being hyped far too much with nary a season's worth performance. Anyhow ... as cochise said unfortunately we are going to go back to Yuvi who will no doubt do well given that Harris cant turn the bloody ball and the quicks are unlikely to get anytihng out of Motera

[The Outsider]

Pathan can certainly be expected to score more runs than Yuseless, and provides a left handed bowling option as well(given RP is going to be replaced by Ishant) so must play at number 7.

How unkind of you. You are aware that Lara's record is under more severe threat now that BC LARA in Blue is back, than when Sehwag was on 319?

[Sooda]

Answer me this- what did Kaif do to be dropped from the test side last year in the first place. Nothing wrong. His replacement- Ganguly - more than justified his inclusion but Kaif did nothing wrong to be dropped. Did well in the WI one very fine century. Anyone remember how he held us together vs England at Nagpur with 90 when Hoggard was ripping thru the rest of the batting?? The man has scored nearly 700 runs in the Ranji this season and has actually performed at test level for India. Unlike people like Badri and Rohit. He MORE than deserves a chance -ahead even of Yuvraj- and he will do well.

[Kartikey]

About time. Lets celebrate................Kaify's back :bhangra::bhangra: But he wont play, it will be Yuvraj. :((:((

[Kartikey]

He's been in terrific form in all the Domestic competitions and has been a fabolous captain.

[Predator_05]

YEEEEEEEEES ! THE EMPHATIC RETURN OF KING KAIF

[Sooda]

Looks like one mean mutha in that pic there...

[graphic23]

I wish him the best of luck. Its been a while since he's played a test and I'm sure he'll be excited to play. Hopefully, the team management does not choose Yuvraj over him. Yuvraj has not delivered consistently in test matches and until he becomes more mature, Kaif deserves that place.

[Kartikey]

1. Viru 2. Jaffer 3. RD 4. Laxman 5. Ganguly 6. Kaify 7. dhoni 8. Irfan 9. Kumble 10. Bhajji 11. Sreesanth

[Yuvraj4Captaincy]

Yuvi the King is back!!!!

:two_thumbs_up: Last chance for Yuvi to prove it in the tests and he will.

[King Tendulkar]

Facking joke. WTF has Gambhir got to do. If I was gambhir I would being going nuts. For him not to be picked is shoking but not to be picked ahead of the worst batsman in India is sick. THIS IS SICK! I FEEL SICK! GAMBHIR MUST FEEL SICK! INDIA FEELS SICK!
