The news that left arm spinner Murali Kartick is on his way to Australia is a terrific boost to the fortunes of Team India. By including Brad Williams the Aussies were trying to gain a psychological advantage which has been effectively nullified by our think tank Down Under. Murali Kartick's inclusion has widened the bowling options and Team India has already taken the front and leading position in terms of strategy. Moreover the name Murali has caused panic and nightmares for Australian batsmen for almost a decade. They have been mesmerised by the other Murali. Good luck and happy hunting to our Indian Murali. A sound and fantastic addition to the bowling repertoire.
I think in austrilia Harbhijan is the best choice and no other should be selected. Also in aus the pitches support pace bowlers so more pace bowlers should be given chance than spiners
glad to know that kartik is joining the team india.he was the most successful bowler for the series held in india. a late nonetheless right decision from the bcci.
hope team india creates history there and break the arogance of the Kangaroos.
It is called "reinforcement" because we cannot replace the reputed brand names "Kumble" and "Harbhajan". In other words, they are irreplaceable. But, how do we accommodate Kartik in the team now? One solution is to change the rules to permit twelve (or 13? 14?) players in a side. I hope BCCI will take steps for this change in rules in time for the test starting tomorrow.
