Sydney Test must called official and go in record books. The india team were defeated by the group of thugs but they still lost. Both teams were cheaters..umpires were cheaters too. typical of aussie and india teams

no-one will listen to you anymore..go home and watch bomb being made in karachi
1)Sehwag-Can provide aggressive start 2)Karthick-Accomodate xtra pacer/replace dhoni 3)Laxman--his favourite spot 4)Sachin-Carry on the momentum 5)Dravid-Sachin/dada rotate strike well 6)Ganguly-Aggressive lower order 7)Pathan--Support Ganguly/xtra bowler 8)Kumble -xcellent job in sydney,carry on... 9)Bhajji--some short fireworks 10)RP--Provide some resistance 11)Ishant--Finish it off...
Now Y not Jaffer...he struggled to learn from mistakes in first 2 tests,now time to give chance to others
Y not dhoni...he doesn't deserve place just b'coz he is vice-captain,karthick not only can resolve opening crisis but also can bring xtra bolwer for the bouncy pitch
Y not yuvraj--Do i need to tell ??
Y bhajji....i know it is a bouncy pitch,bhajji if he flights the ball well and varies his pace,can take crucial wickets.We also have 3 genuine pacers anyways !!!

Yuvraj - he will be allowed to spend more time with Deepika. and satisfy himself compleately before the one day series starts. So that both can start concentrating on their professions more than personal matters.

It's tempting to recall Sehwag but it shouldn't be done. After all, he hasn't done anything in any other first class matches he's played since he got dropped. More consistency must be demanded of him before he's recalled. Also, it would set a poor precedent. A guy who's played well in England, SA and Pakistan (Jaffer) over the last years is dropped for a guy who's played well in one first class match since he was dropped (Sehwag). Not a good selection policy. Plus Jaffer scored 50 in the tour game, so there are encouraging signs he's finding his feet in Aus after a lack of warm-up games (good work by our fantastic Board on that count!)
Dravid should continue as opener for the rest of his career and given a fair chance by the selectors to get settled into the role. Laxman's favourite spot in No. 3 and he's done very well there and there should be competition for the No. 6 spot between youngsters to allow us to plan for the future.
But I agree with dropping Yuvraj. He's having a horrendous time and must be feeling miserable as he hasn't got any runs against anyone on this tour. Any further games would amount to setting him up for further failure against the Aussies. Dropping him would be doing him a favour as it will give him time to assess his game.
And I completely agree with the 5-bowler strategy.

The very reason sehwag got picked was that b'coz he played well against auusies in the last tour.What has jaffer done in the 4 innings !!,if sehwag gives a crackin start we have more chances of winning the match and dravid at any cost can be sacrificed in the opening slot.
And u have mentioned that jaffer scored 50 and found his feet,then how much did sehwag scored ???.......if he is not even provided with a single chance then there is pointless to select him for the tour.isn't it friend ??

Simple answer: Sehwag shouldn't have been selected. And I'm sorry, am I missing some unwritten law saying if someone is selected they HAVE to play?
4 years ago is a long time buddy. So your plan is to abruptly drop someone who's proven himself in Tests in the past year and is slowly coming into form (Jaffer) with someone on the basis of ONE century, that too at first-class level, no other contributions in first class or Test level for AT LEAST the past 1 year. Great logic there!
Jaffer hasn't done much in his in his last 4 innings, so maybe I'm missing something again, has Sehwag done anything in his last 4 Test innings??

All the good pakistan players will be playing 20/20 in india soon. hey lotiya I hope that you are going to enjoy only seeing your players on satellite.
This kid called Lotiya pathan has taken over 5 people's account names and is using them to say what he likes. He said that he doesn't believe in God and therefore he doesn't care about doing it. His names he is using lately are: LOTIYA PATHAN, SPITTING COBRA, ASHISH, UNCLE SHAME and CHARLIE SCHEMBRI. We now know he is 17 year old boy with only a mother but no father. He will try to block all messages like mine to stop you all knowing what he is doing so please record these names and if you see him posting again..do something. Remeber the old saying ' evil will win when good men do nothing'. we as Indians are all good men-we need to do something.

i have more than 5. so easy to do. i willt teach you indians. We are better than you at all sports. pakistan more gentlemnam on cricket pitvch than indians anyway
we were debating about yuvaraj, gambhir, jaffer etc. look at them. same we were criticizing people like sachin & co. look at them. also we were dgreading sehwag. he is fallible and make us cry by his careless batting but he is much more better than those glorified, so called great tallants, dead pitch batsmen or oneday specilists
all openers have virtually failed. its long time since we got to see good opening partnership in test. why not try the openers of one day in tests too. say saurav and sachin or sachin and sehwag. dravid shoul dbetter not be forced to open. i strongly recommend atleast sachin as opener and other may be sehwag or perhaps why not try out irfan pathan. there is nothing to lose considering that others openers too have failed badly. and rahul for sure is not good choice for that place.
For the Perth Test Sehwag and Karthik should replace Jaffer and Yuvraj.We shd open with them .Dravid at 3.Laxman at 5.ganguly at 6. Irfan shd replace Harbajan.This is needed.Let it not be assumed he is to be dropped because of the monkey business.He has to be dropped for cricketing reasons.Sehwag to provide the off spin.

I FEEL PANKAJ SINGH OR IRFAN SHOULD BE REPLACED BY DHONI AND SECONDLY GANGULY SHOULD BE USED AS A SWING BOWLER AND SACHIN SHOULD BE ASKED TO BOWL MEDIUM PACERS
