Wasim Jaffer should have been dropped unceremoniously from the team for the 2nd test. He was clueless when it came to the moving ball and seemed like a player from galli cricket not international. Who said he's got good technique?

You right man.....and Jaffer is a 'lousy' fielder too...."tendu" should have to open inning ....drop Jaffer and bring Yuvraj ......he is better in bating,fielding and also a part-time bowler too...
i stii think that not fielding Yuvraj is that mistake which may cost India the series.When you want to bounce back you have to take bold decisions.Lakshman is not in th best of touches and Yuvraj showed tremendous form. Also we need someone like him to counter KP's agression.

How about dropping Ganguly to accomodate Yuvi? Dropping Gangopadhyay you wlii not like Mr. Mukhopadhyay.

I am not a Gangu's fan.....
But don't compare Ganguly with Laxman..........Whatever the way Gangu is playing, he is a lot...lot better player than handicap Laxman......And he play more cautiously and defensive because of dirty politics in team and selection committee.............If he play his original he can tear any world-class bowling attack.....
Ganguly is been consistent with the bat since his comeback. i m not saying he has won match bt he is consistently scoring 30-40 runs and making good partnerships with other players.

I think that is right decision, because, Our batsman didnot do well in the first test, however, bowlers did very well. Secondly, in our case, the advantage of bowling first is we will have a reference target so that our batsman at least try to meet the target. Dr.D.M.Sagar Canada

Dear Mr. Sagar, right or wrong...that will be visible in a day or so...but normally chasing a target in 4th inning on a pitch and weather like this which supports swing bowling, will be a tough job.Even chasing 250 will be an uphill task. So batting first is a safer option. Lets hope for best. :) Abhishek

I think dravid is expecting more bounce and swing from the wicket...
