Why is karthik in the side?

[Zap_Brannigan]

Is he a better ODI bat than Raina,Rao,Bhadrinath,Utappa et al... Or is he thr just cos he was in the 16 member squad?

Re: Why is karthik in the side? Poverty of thought and action. Selectors are simply not aware of what's available out there and resort for a guy who has a mediocre record in every sense of the word. Good job in waking up Dhoni though!
