When somebody is in his prime form at that time he should be picked in the team to give his best to the national side. He should get the channce in England and South Africa
selecting ishant sharma without playing much domestic cricket is an another wrong decision.He played only 7 ranji matches and got 43 wickets.Is this enough to earn a test cricket berth???

Agarkar is faster than Ishant. The speed of Ishant is a media buidup to get him in the team. VRV singh is the only genuine speedster we have and he was dropped to accomodate Bose (for the bengalis) and Ishant/RP singh for Delhi/UP. Quota system is back.

Mr Campbell, I hope you realise that only raw pace cannot get you wickets in international cricket. Otherwise Shoaib Akhtar or Bret Lee or Shane Bond would have been the highest wicket takers in international cricket. Your allegations against Bose and RP are not justified as they are genuine test class bowlers.Give them the due chance and you will see the result.

of course..but Lakshmipathy Balaji, Zaheer Khan are also....
THE TEAMS WHICH DILIP VENGSARKAR SELECTED WERE GOOD EXCEPT NOT PICKING PIYUSH CHAWLA FOR TESTS. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO PICK A TRADITIONAL LEG SPINNER TO SUPPORT KUMBLE AS WE KNOW SHANE WARNE RUN THROUGH THE ENGLISH SIDE MANY A TIMES AS ENGLISH FAILED AGAIN AND AGAIN TO PLAY LEG SPIN AND PIYUSH CHAWLA FITS IN THAT ZONE OF WARNE WITH HIS MENTAL STRENGTH AND ABILITY TO BOWL LOT AND LOT OVERS. WITH THREE SEAMERS TWO SPINNERS(KUMBLE AND PIYUSH) INDIA WILL SWEEP THE SERIES. LEFT ARMERS OR POWARS OFFSPIN DOESNT BOTHER ENGLISH AT ALL AS THEY PLAY LOT OF MONTY THERE. COME ON REPLACE SOMEONE WITH PIYUSH DILIP.

Conveniently you left out the hero of SA tour, our young Srisant ? Without prejudice I must say Chawla is too young and inexperienced to be included in team india. he can still play domestic cricket, have some experience before being included in the team. Pathan, yes, I miss him in the team. I am sure he would come back with a bang. He is our boy next door.
12/11/06 By Raj Singh Dungarpur on Sachin's 136 against Pak This is the interview of Raj Singh Dungarpur on Sachin Tendulkar in the program - Sachin Tendulkar-MAKING OF A LEGEND
" I think Joshi told me he[Sachin] went down the wicket and told him its gone too long now,let me finish this match. So it was flotter from Saqlain,He came down the track and wanted to hit over the top of long on. I came down the dressing room,I think its fair for me to say,he[Sachin] was weaping like a school boy,I kept on telling him why are you taking the whole blame yourself,by then we lost the match.You made impossible possible by playing this great inning.He[Sachin] said no sir,I have lost this match. We were in the podium,I think very few time you gets man of the match on the loosing side,he got the man of the match on the loosing side.From the podium I signal to Anshuman Gaekwad the coach of the Indian team and asked him where is he[Sachin], because I knew he was Man of the match. Gaekwad said he not coming[because he is crying]. I think thats what commitment is all about."
" In my life time being in and out of Indian Dressing Room in various capacities I have never seen a man half as patriotic as He is[Sachin Tendulkar]. He opens his bagand there is Ganpati and there is flag of India."
