17 man squad selected,Sehwag in the team!!!!!!

[deepak_sach]

if Lahiru Thirimanne can score a 50 So can mukund.

[NareshK]

Yuvi selected again ? :hmmm: I'm not convinced with his batting ability in tests overseas. Saha selection is fair because Parthiv Patel hasnt seemed to improve his keeping skills. The rest of the squad pick themselves.

[deepak_sach]

I would have selected ojha instead of mishra....... Mishra is slow off the pitch

[ravishingravi]

Good selection accept Mukund who I am still not sure is re assuring as an opener in England. Disappointed about Sehwag. Was on the cards though. It is a good team. I like the fact that they went with Yuvraj. This might be the opportunity for him.

[saneindian]

Mukund will open

1-2 failures for him and the clamor will be for him to be dropped. Remember he's already been dubbed useless.

Tell any other opener=Vijay

Even if that happens,why would Saha open as you suggest :blink:

[vvvslaxman]

Apart from Saha i am okay with others. They should have given a chance to Dinesh Karthik.

because it is England... he probably got selected. T20 or ODI or Test he does well against them.

Pushing it hard at the nca today Batted against ashish and zak in the nets for an hour!short nap nw http://yfrog.com/h05u6daaj - Yuvi

[Andy]

Saha has been Selected because he is from CSK :D He is much better as a keeper than PaPa.

[cowboysfan]

Sehwag will miss first 2 weeks of tour... That includes warm up and first test... -Cricinfo

so he will play the 2nd test with no match practice at trent bridge?

[saneindian]

Even if that happens' date='why would Saha open as you suggest :blink:[/quote'] So who else would open when Mulkund has failed and Viru is not yet ready? That's where Papa the reserve opener would come to the team's rescue. Anyways , I hope Mukund scores big from here on and we don't land in such hypothetical situations.

Good thing is Dhoni isnt stupid enough to heed to these pathetic clamors.

Yes. Parthiv is decent bat against any kind of new ball bowling. He may not score 100s. But good enough to make a 50.

[Cricket Tragic]

Sehwag hates practice matches anyway.

You should think like THIS.Why are you thinking negative :D

[saneindian]

Could the selectors not have waited till the test match to end before announcing the team? Why announce a touring squad when a test math is on?

When did Sehwag ever bothered about practice matches.He is sehwag for a reason:king:

Yeah, would've been better. Not sure why they couldn't have waited another day.
