India in CB Series

dont expect anything from UMB or karthik.

uthappa is what he is.

but imo raina and sharma have something about them. and tiwary has obviously been hyped up, deservedly so on the basis of his FC exploits.

should be interesting.

Why isn't Kaif in the side?

I hoped they'd find a place for Badrinath instead of Karthik maybe. He's already 27+ and not getting any younger.

Not good enough.

kaif is shite, he was lucky to play that many games for india. the natwest innings bought him a couple of yrs.

isnt badrinath more suited to tests?

yusuf pathan deserves a chance - tall, powerful hitter and bowls a bit.

Badrinath's pretty level headed, would make a good replacement for Dravid at 5, and is brilliant in the field. Useful off-spinners as well.

And talking of YPathan, he has been in form this season. Scoring centuries, taking fifers, the works, which actually makes me a bit nervous, because you think of him more as bits and pieces whenever you watch him play.

Pathan has scored some blazing tons in FC cricket this season, apart from taking 5-fors.

I guess he is not too far away from getting a chance in ODIs, as he is already on BCCI rolls.

Just feel Gambhir is not good enough.

Great chance for Sharma, Raina, tewari to prove themselves.

was aquacker picked for the series?

fortunately, its going on ,notwithstanding the stupidity of so many from all sides.

it is curious to know how the youngsters will fare. but my feeling is they are going to find it very difficult in alien conditions and with little international experience. Also the mere fact of high standard of australian cricket.

its good they get experience(whether painful or otherwise) now rather than later.

alsi was disappointed with yuvrajs' performances. he needs to show an ability to bounce back. Its unfortunate none of the younger brgade have adpated to the conditions successfully. but there is a history to it whichc annot be disregarded.

Are you Vikas' gay verbose boyfriend? You use so many words when you could say the same thing in 10.

Word is that Yuvraj may be fit to play from 2nd ODI onwards.

Yuvraj was really bad in tests. But in ODI's I think he will do good.

As far as the young guys in the team, they will do well.

Didn't our young fast bowlers just win us Perth test
