The selection of wasim jaffer is clear cut of example of indian team selection procedure is still envaded with zonalism.
As Vengsarkar is the cheif of the selection committe his boy got a place in the team. His name came from no where...he is no where in the contention for the spot. I pity Gautam gambhir
A good selection.He can mentally prepare himself well in advance,so that he can be a good asset in WC2007 in West Indies.Already he acquainted himself well with the condition and nature of the wkts.A suggestion that he should open to make Sachin bat @ no.4.
We are including anil kumble and waseem jaffar and ganguly is too old or out of form. Well if we never try him then how in god's name would he be able to come to form. lets see how these guys play even if they are inducted in the playing 11.
The selsctionhas come out with the right call after India stumbled,collapsed miserably & shmaelessly in the west Indies one day series -DLF malaysia cup - Champions trophy especially given the home conditions. Earlier with the spate of short success under Guru Greg, the team had forgot the abilities & contribution made by the Kumbles - Laxmans & the GAngulys.More over the same PAthan thrived under Wright-Ganguly,sehwag thundered with his bat in any position, Yuvaraj matured as a team player, during the same era, Zaheer was a match winer, Balaji out of nowhere with a good line & length came into lime light.These players thrived-enjoyed the spirit of the game as every body had a secured postion in the team under DADA's assurance.Now, With guru Greg has bought everything positive but spoiled the show with politics & lack of trust on the teams ability which showed upon his continuouis experiment policy.Even Wright experimented but it was always a calculative one under DADA's companionship.Dada took all the decesions while Guru John Wright stood by him.Wright went with respect, Guru Greg took away dada's respect & the team's winning streak.Guru wake up its time to win.
