Hey guys, I have dropped all these guys. Actually I was planning to drop all but as there is need of 16 persons so I left those 16 at random basis so what I did was correct. Its their bad luck I cant do anything.

Yaar, Karthik never performed when given the chanced in the Indian team. And agter being axed, he has scored a brilliant ton. God help him. Badrinath may have been selected instead of Sehwag.He is totally crap by now.
On the evidence of the Challenger series which is not enough the best batsmen among the young brigade in that order are--Raina,Gambhir,Karthik,Badrinath,Rohit Sharma ,Manoj Tewary,Neeraj Patel.The first 3 or 4 shd be in the main team displacing the aged stars for ODI's.So a better young team can be Gambhir,Uthappa,Suresh Raina,Yuvraj,Karthik Dinesh,Irfan,Dhoni?,Harbajan orMurali Karthik orAmit Mishra,Sreesanth,Zaheer,R.P.Singh or Praveen Kumar.Reserves can be Badrinath,Neeraj Patel,Rohit ,Tewary for batting andPankaj Singh,joginder Sharma,Yo Mahesh for bowling.I dont think seniors will be missed.This is purely on cricketing merit and not on regionalist basis.
Everyone should take into consideration that this team is for the FIRST 2 MATCHES ONLY!! Im sure Sehwag needs to be given a chance considering his track record against Pakistan. Whoever is saying that Sehwag should be dropped is prolly the same person who worshipped Sehwag to the skies when he was playing well.Yes,he hasnt been doing well in the recent past but remember he's one of the most destructive batsmen in contemporary cricket and its only fair that they give him one last chance to come good. Also regarding Badrinath,let me tell u that I knew Badri personally growing up while in school and he has been scoring runs by the buckets as far as i remember.Im very sure he will get his chance against Pakistan and rest assured he will make his stamp with a century. Good luck to India for the upcoming tough series'.
The main difference at the time when sehwag got too many chances and now with Dravid getting only 10 chance...is
1.Youngsters were not knocking on the door..we just came back after winning the 20-20 world cup. 2.When we play australia...if someone is not perfomring...its highlighted even more as it looks like we are playing aussies with 10 people with dravid not performing.When Sehwag was out of form others were doing enough and we were winning.
Anyway Dravid totaly deserves this... he did the same to Ganguly....with chappel and more.

you are absolutely right, chappel and dravid had a hidden agenda to break up the team , he deserved this.
I do not know why Sehwag is included against Pakistan in 15 member squad. He failed again in the challenger trophy final making a VALUABLE contribution of 1 run.

His batting is affected after he has become bald. Hardly any footwork.He cant cope with this lack of technique against genuine fast bowlers like Asif, Gul and Shoaib Akhtar.
why are suresh raina and dinesh karthick not in the team inspite of thier good current form.... i think the BCCI is fixing matches with other teams.....

Dinesh Karthik was given tonnes of chances to prove himself. He failed miserably not only in 50 overs match but also in Twenty20. Good that he is out of the team. It's different scenario playing Domestic and International Cricket. For Raina, I think he will be back in Indian team soon.

KArthik is the best future player and mark my words, He is capatain material. Probably in the near future. If Dhoni has hand and eye in the right place, then it may delay Karthik but otherwise I see no reason why it should not come to him at all.
