Thank god no crapthan or fatty. Disgrace leaving Gambhir out. Inclusion of Murali also weird, we must be going to produce massive turners

Link The Indian Test sqaud for the first two Test matches against Pakistan has been named. And there is no place for Gautam Gambhir in the 14-member squad. Back in the Test squad is Harbhajan Singh who replaces Romesh Powar from the team that played the Test series in England. Murali Kartik has also made a comeback to the Test team while One-Day captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been named the vice-captain of the team. There is no place for the Virender Sehwag in the squad which will be led by Anil Kumble. The first Test begins on the 22nd of this month in New Delhi and the second Test is at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata from the 30th of November. Squad: Anil Kumble (captain), Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, V V S Laxman, M S Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Wasim Jaffer, R P Singh, S Sreesanth, Murali Kartik, Dinesh Karthik.

Harbhajan Singh made an expected return to the 14-member Indian squad for the first two Tests against Pakistan. Murali Kartik, the left-arm spinner, was chosen as the third spin option, backing up Anil Kumble, India's new Test captain, and Harbhajan. Gautam Gambhir, Ramesh Powar, Ranadeb Bose and Ishant Sharma were the four who missed out from the England tour. Virender Sehwag, despite an imposing average of 91.14 against Pakistan, would have to wait longer for a recall, as would allrounder Irfan Pathan. Zaheer Khan, Sreesanth and RP Singh made up a the pace attack, one which had starred during India's Test series triumph in England, the first in 21 years. Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India's one-day and Twenty20 captain, was handed over the vice-captaincy. The series begins on November 22 in Delhi after which the teams face off in Kolkata and Bangalore. India squad for first two Tests 1 Dinesh Karthik, 2 Wasim Jaffer, 3 Rahul Dravid, 4 Sachin Tendulkar, 5 Sourav Ganguly, 6 VVS Laxman, 7 Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), 8 Anil Kumble (capt), 9 Harbhajan Singh, 10 Zaheer Khan, 11 Sreesanth, 12 Yuvraj Singh, 13 RP Singh, 14 Murali Kartik.

He is not a test bowler in any shape or form. In odis had a role to play if he could bowl straaight cos he can bat a bit. If you look at my posts for well over a year on crapthan always said he may be ok in odis if used as 5th/4th bowler only not frontline bowler!

He is there :hysterical: There would be riots otherewise led by me and many others!

We MUST attack the pakistanis with spin, that is our strength at home. I expect us to play both Anil and Bhajji in the first spin. And good to see the confidence expressed by the selectors on our openers. By including either Sehwag/Gambhir , they would have sent to some mixed signals to the team.

Bhajji will bowl well in tests, wait and watch.

[Ram]

Cant believe CNN-IBN is actually discussing the inclusion of Dravid.

[fineleg]

Bhajji will bowl well in tests' date=' wait and watch.[/quote'] I'll wait and watch, but I'm prepared to get quite angry with Bhajji for bowling "containing" type, and not get wickets.

[Ram]

Sreesanth must watch out. I am quite convinced Irfan was THIS close to a test-recall. If Sree another series like the lackluster one he had in england, irfan might just get the nod ahead of him.
