India should go with three fast bowlers. Munaf should be picked rather than Harbhajan. Following is the Harbhajan record in Srilanka : Match - 4 Wickets - 7 Average - 59.85
The cloud over Michael Vaughan persists. The captain should be on the team sheet on merit, not simply because he's the captain. There are other players in the side more than capable of deciding who will bowl next and the field setting - the vast majority of which is decided pre match by intensive video analysis of the opposition. Difference is those other team mates are making a positive contribution with bat and/or ball. He needs to produce the goods with the bat next test or give way. He's out of form and needs to go away and work on it in the county circuit. Test level, particularly against SA, isn't the place to be crossing fingers and hoping it's going to improve next innings. Next innings isn't proving any better. A century against NZ in that first test of the summer doesn't merit an automatic place for the rest of the summer. NZ isn't the challenge that SA is.
