too many personal attacks going on here.... mods please step in. You ppl should stop acting like our western neighbours..... No point in playing the blame game. Bottom line is that our squad has been finalized and now its just about the starting XI doing their best and getting us that elusive series win down under. The key to winning that series still remains unchanged: - The big guns have to fire with the bat and subdue the rising young aussie quicks while rendering Lyon as a non-factor (that puts a lot of pressure on the pacers) - Zaheer absolutely HAS to play at least 3 tests for us to have any chance whatsover - Dhoni has to out do Clarke on the field (not sure if he can with the bat) and maybe even win a few tosses... better yet, he should send sehwag out for the toss.
:hysterical: And then Sehwag would send Gambhir out to captain while he'll be sitting in the dressing room tired :--(

While I completely agree that both Mithun and Vinay should not be in the Test squad for Aus I don't think your generalization that south is destroying Indian cricket is either warranted or factual. Ashwin, Ojha, Lax, Rahul are all from the south and none of these fellows have actually "destroyed" Indian cricket. It wasn;t long ago that we also had India's greatest Test match winner from the south...if u disagree with the greatest Test match winner thingy then at least he is the greatest bowler India produced. What is the need to brand the entire of south India that way? It's not just you but I think almost all of us at ICF are pissed off at the inclusion of Vinay Kumar and Mithun in the squad but it is no reason to go on making such stupid generalizations. Southern Bharatvarsha (south of the Vindhyas) has given us our best batsmen and best bowlers ever. If you remove Maharashtra even then the south has given us 7 of our 10 best bowlers ever and 4 of our top 10 batsmen....that is quite some contribution
But the world champion team had only one Southie - Sreesanth :hehe:

I was only kidding. Jeez everyone is so easy to wind up. Southies are not destroying indian cricket. But I do detect some quota picks going on, when there are marginal calls to be made, then the quota is definitley kicking in. Lets not forget cheeka has pushed his son in to indian teams when not worthy, so his dodgy way of doing things is clear to see.

+1 .Also some of these armchair critics go about gloating that mithun was selected because of jumbo without any proof.How can you even think of doubting a guy like him!!!

lol . its not about South , they have given us Srinath and Kumble , an atg Rahul Dravid . Ashwin , Mukund are the talented players and will always have support. Uthappa should be selected in place of joker patel. But Vinay , Mithun don't really deserve the spot and are getting it due to politics. And that's where selection committee gets criticized.

Only good news is that , it looks like a minor strain, he will be fit soon, only problem being Mithun in the squad then we have VK, shouldve picked Gony, Dinda, Nechim.

I think the worst selector of them all when it comes to forwarding the south agenda, actually karnataka agenda, was the great batsman GR Vuswanath. The guy selected people like Somasunder, Dodda Ganesh, etc. He was so biased that I really lost a bit of respect for him in the mid 90s when he was selector. It hurt me a lot that the guy who partnered Sachin as an opener was someone of the caliber of Somasunder. I mean come on kuch toh izzat rakhneka? Sachin ke saath opening ke liye bhej raha hai aur woh bhi mid 90s mein, at least send someone who can be 1% of the Buddha...nahi, apne ko khali apne karnataka ke chokre log ko team mein gusaneka hai!

Looks like they are reserving Irfan for when Zak will break down in the Melbourne test

I have seen Irfan bowl in first couple Ranji games,his swing is back , bowled well, but pace was down, not good enough to threaten int batsmen at this time

Zak , Bhajji , Yuvraj , Kaif , Nehra , Sehwag and even Dhoni. He was backed by JM Dalmiya though. Having a highly corrupt and politics ridden system running down there will always be need of strong Captain like ganguly in Indian Cricket else we'll keep visiting golden era of 90s again and again.
