How it is possible - Vettori, not the great spinner Kumble in the World XI Test squad? Specially the test is supposed to be played in the spin friendly pitch in Sydney. rubbish!!

Team Selection

There cannot be scopes for too many controversies as far as the selection of the team is concerned as most of the players selected are in good form. The only concern is the selection of Graham Smith as the captain inspite of the presence of players of the stature of Sachin, Lara and Dravid.And does Smith deserve a place in the team as a player !!!!

Rest of the World squad

In the Rest of the World Test Squad, it should have had VVS Laxman & Yosuf Yohana.

While in the ODI squad Md.Sami of Pakistan and Jaisuriya of Sri Lanka should have figured.

Kumble left out of test squad of World XI
by Deepak on Aug 23, 2005 01:33 PM

HI All
It is sad to see India\\\'s Leg spin bowler Kumble left out of test squad in World XI.Kumble was only success ful spinner against Aussies in Australia. Considering his current test form he would have been greater problem for Aussies than any other spinner in squad. World XI thinktank has to see this and once again work out with the plan

Aussies bete noire is missing!
by Manoj Sharma on Aug 23, 2005 01:06 PM

Missing from the Test squad is Australia's bete noire, V V S Laxman.

Also, what noteworthy ODI performances against Australia do Virender Sehwag and Shahid Afridi have to merit places in the ODI squad?

Bad selection
by Vineet on Aug 23, 2005 01:05 PM

It's a poor selection according to me.No kumble and Harbhajan who tormented Aussies.And since sydney is a turning track condusive for spinners there must be 2 spinners.Look at Anil kumble's record in sydney in last series 2004 India tour(took 12 wickets).I cant Pollock performing well vs Aussies so why him.Team should pick people not jus by names but by their recent performances against Aussies.So according to me Team selection is poor.
