So they just took Amit Mishra for sight seeing' date=' all the way to Lanka. Well done selectors.. Keep it up.[/quote'] Easy on the selectors dude..they don't decide who is in final 11 and who's not. It's Dhoni, the coach, seniors - the team management who gets to decide that depending on lots of factors. This is not the first time and not the last time everybody in the 16 member squad getting to play in a series either. It has become a fashion to blame the selectos for each anad every trivial issue these days.

The selection committee has clearly lost it. And they have lost their supporters too. I don't see anyone coming out and openly backing them for the simple reason that - "Their decisions are wrong, blatant and obvious". If you start dropping senior players after one-two bad series on F1 tracks, I doubt the bench-strength for the World Cup, coz players out of favour can't even make it for the A & B team tours. This kind of impulsive and dubious selection is exactly what is going to spell doom for us in the coming 5 yrs.
If this post is aimed at why the seniors have been rested, well its a good decision. Gambhir, Bhajji have been struggling with fitness issues off late and its good to rest them (especially for a not very important tournament) ahead of a busy season where we will be playing nonsop for 6 months starting with Australia series till 2011 WC ( 2 tests and 3 ODIs vs Aus, 3 tests and 5 ODIs vs NZ, 3 tests and 5 ODIs vs SA, surely some practice series against some team prior to the WC and then finally the WC). Thats 8 tests and 15-16 ODIs in 4 months (October 2010 to Jan 2011.Better to take care of your seniors especially those who are part of all three formats.

Selection top players of a country for a series, is something which needs to be done cleanly and professionally. If it doesn't come rite, people should have every right to blame them. It's a very important thing.

Come again, it's not really understandable.

Typo Moyo(the one with the beard from sadak paar), "Selecting top players..... "
Oh ok, now the sentence makes sense. So are you mad about the selectors because you think Amit was not a top selection in the first place? I thought you were mad about Amit not getting to play a single game in the series and hence was only a tourist to SL.

Really cant understand when Bhajji can be dropped why cant Ishant? And Mithun may not be as good in Odis as much he looks in Tests.

exactly. Should have been first choice spinner after Bhajji.

Then what has selectors got to do with him not getting into the playing XI? They chose him the squad as they felt he us good enough and sent him to SL. It's upto the team management to choose whom to play and whom not to play in a test. You seem to be confused about the squad selection which the selectors do and the team selection for every match that the team management does. This proves that some of you will blame the selectors no matter what! Not very different thought process from our Padosis who blame their chairman for all theirs problems and blame him to be reason why they are not number one in T2o, tests, ODI, which they think they truely deserve considering their talunt.

Dhoni hates Mishra.. He doesn't likes him at all. Either he will make sure that Mishra sits out or gets dropped from the team..Dhoni's hate towards Mishra is well know now. I hope he is not trying to remove any obstacles on the way of Bhajji (his business partner).

Mishra could not have done worse than Bhajji in both the tests. Hope he plays in the third test instead of this spoiled dart thrower.

How do u know he hates him ? If he really hated him so much then he can easily ask selectors not to pick him ..

Zonal selection politics..Most of the 'fringe' players are selected to satisfy the Zonal aspirations..So the selectors have to select them in various formats to keep the 'rotation' going..Then it's upto the captain's liking and licking the captain..

he can easily get selectors to find another player from the same zone , btw there are already enough players from the zone for which Mishra plays so I dont think it has anything to with zonal quota

So he'll not completely drop him but it's common knowledge that Mishra is pretty down the order in Dhoni's pecking list..
