Wow! Why is it that TN Players get left out even in analyses like this?As it is, even when Badani has done so well for India in the recent past, he has to make way for Rohan Gavaskar in the team.Well, Rohan did well but the way Badani was pushed behind Rohan for ALL matches Rohan played so that he will never get to prove his credentials was sickening. It was as if someone was afraid that if given even one chance, Badani might add a 50 or so and so rohan will have to make way if Sehwag and Sachin returns.As it stands now, it will be Badani who will be left out when Sachin and Swhwag return - even though he is a more proven player than rohan when it comes to batting and is definitely a better fielder. That was smart effort from Rohan's godfathers.If you have a God father, you GET the CHANCEs to prove yourself. Some guys fail even after getting these chances but some do succeed but at the expense of a player who had previously proven himself but had no godfather to back him(Remember Vijay Dahiya- why in the hell he is not even in India A team?).Likewise, in this article, a rather pedestrian Ashish Nehra is discussed whileBalaji whowas impressive in the VBSeries is not even discussed!
