msb1991 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I hate to be the pedant, but Zaheer Khan took 11 wickets at 43.18 in the series, not a great effort and he has a poor record overrall in India - but I assume everyone is happy to persevere with him. Link to comment

Anyone who watched this series would tell you how well Zaheer bowled. RP or Munaf don't come close to taking his place in the 11. Link to comment
PaiN_KiLLeR Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I wish this was a 3 match test series with 5 ODI's instead of 7. Link to comment

He was visibly upset with the slip catchers today when he yelled at them "I told you to come forward" when a catch just dropped short. Link to comment
cowboysfan Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 vijay,ojha and rohit sharma should be included- Sehwag Gambir M Vijay Tendulkar rohit sharma Laxman Dhoni Z khan I Sharma Harbajan Mishra ------- RP Singh Munaf badrinath ojha Link to comment

The Outsider Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I'll still play Dravid since he has enough time to go to Ranji and play a few games and has traditionally done well against England but not at number 3 anymore. Laxman at 3, Dravid at 5, and whoever the newcomer in place of Ganguly is at 6. I would go for Badrinath. Link to comment
Sachin_Rulez Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 If anyone who deserves to bat at no.3, it's VVS. LOL@Fineleg's list for including Vijay at no.3. Vijay had a decent debut. Nothing spectacular about it (Did he score amazing 100 to have him in the team at any cost even without playing him as an opener???). He's an opener and has to wait for his chances. If selectors decide to drop Dravid for Eng series, then it's more or less certain that yuvi/rohit/badri will be fighting for no.5 and no.6 spots. Link to comment

cowboysfan Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I feel rohit sharma has the potential to be a great batsman for us.he needs to think about his responsibilty to the team and not get out to rubbish shots.he also needs a secure position in the order to bat because all the moving around up and down the order is not helping.to me he has the tools to be great-lets see if he can his head right for the job.

Lord Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 This is Test cricket Yuvi :hysterical: so wat yuvi needs to come in 3 reasons: 1.hes a left hander,having all right handers in MO wud be stupidity.ganguly the only leftie is gone so shud be replaced by another leftie 2.hes aggresive.generallly we need quick runs from our no.6.sachin n laxy r aggresive but not that much.we need another bat along with dhoni to score quickly in case in we need quick runs 3.he can win matches on his own.hes proved that in past.no body except sehwag can take the game away from opposition quickly than yuvraj Link to comment

RP or Munaf don't come close to taking his place in the 11. I did watch the series. Zaheer ws not unlucky not to pick up more wickets, so I fail to see the point. Link to comment
