Umesh Yadav and Varun Aaron may not get a chance in Australia

PK troubled much better Australian batting line up in cb series final. Fact that Australians are sitting ducks when there is even slightest hint of swing PK will play as he will fully exploit it. Swing is the reason why Australia has gone down so low.

Agree completely. There is no better thing if our three main bowlers are fit to play that i Zak, Ishant, PK and they are experienced. If only of these three does not do well or gets injured only then we should bring in Yadav or Aaron. But the thing is it is only one month left before we will leave for Aus and Zaheer has not hit the ground yet. When he will play an FC match and when he will be selected. There is a big if in front of his name.

IMO, in 15 men squad- 5 pacers, 2 spinners, 1 WK and 8 batsmen. In 16 men squad- 1 extra WK and the rest will remain same. 5 pacers will and should be- Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, UY, V Aaron and PK. 2 spinners- doesn't matter to me until we r winning. About pacers, these 5 should be picked. S Sreesanth and RP will also be the contenders and can be included if someone gets injured. Now, most important, SA, Australia and England are those places where we need to prove ourselves and these are those destinations which have given us some fast bowling sensations as well, like Ishant and Irfan in Australia, S Sreesanth in SA and RP in England. So, its important that we give chances to some new fast bowlers on this tour rather than tried and tested trundlers. We have toured SA earlier this year and somehow able to level the series there and we failed in England miserably. Now, Australia is the last chance to prove ourselves. Our great batting line up, Sachin, Dravid and VVS will not be there next time.
