[Trichromatic]

Ravindra Jadeja - our best bowler in both formats.

Yup Jadeja did well in England, INdia now in SA. Infact he was one of the reason why we won CT. Definitely should be integral part of Indian line up. If Australia can afford to carry Nathan Lyon who is not as good as Jaddu both with bat and ball then India definitely has to have Jaddu permanently as long as he continues to meet the expectations.

[Vijy]

Quite a few interesting results: a) Ashwin performed much more poorly as a batter than what I'd expected - avg of 27 is well below career avg of nearly 40. b) Vijay had a v. good year although many of the runs came on home soil. c) Thought Raina was atrocious in ODIs but his avg and SR are decent, though not great. Deserves one last series IMO. d) Jaddu was highly impressive in ODIs as an all-rounder and v. good as a bowler in Tests, despite the heavy home soil presence. e) Does Mishra deserve a go in ODIs as the second spinner? f) Pisshant seems to have done better than expected in ODIs, even though the ER is high. g) Karthik's record is much better than what I expected - should be retained as the 2nd keeper in this format.
