Batting first is brave decision on this pitch. He took 2 spinners because most likely they will bowl in 4th inning. Good decision.

Dhoni is the Vice captain of the team and so he became Captain. Where comes Sehwag in this test as captain?

There is no vice captain for this series. So I think team management decided it.

Rightly said , if Kakaji kumble is captain for more years , Dhoni will get multiple opportunity to lead in test & prove his point

Gautam, your msg is plain ridiculous and irrelevant. Get out of the persecution complex and watch the game. Sourav or no Sourav, we always support Team India!
if the seniors have bcome a 'BOJH' for the team as well as 4 cricket fans then drop everyone of them including sachin and make a new test team with new captain see the results if well and good then goodbye to all seniors if the young team fails then what?
Yes, we hear that Sachin is god. His humility is peerless. But there is a reason for that too. Sachin has ALWAYS BEEN SPARED by media. Never anyone in Indian press dared to question his frequent injury, failure in critical matches too harshly. Whereas Kumble, Dravid and ablve all in Indian cricket, Ganguly has been bashed like anything right from day 1, even on a day he scored a 100.
Its possible for even a man like Kumble to make an outnurst - just like Dada did a few days back. Sachin has the luxury to remain a silent gentleman as he never had to endure the ruthless and on many occasions worthless venom from the media and BCCI.

Kumble is putting himself above the country. Not only Munaf... even a makeshift captain Dhoni will have to wait until last minute. Now, Anil really needs a kick.

All Senior has been behaving like this... Sachin's record breaking century( 34 or 35 whatever who cares) in B'desh 2004-5 has blood of Gambir's runout...
Whats so great in Sachin crossing Lara record considering the following reasons. 1.He is not as consistent as Ponting. 2.His batting average is less than Ponting 3.His hundreds are slighty more than Ponting. 4.When anyhow Ponting will cross him 5.When Ponting played great match winnings knocks in second innings 6.When Ponting twin hundred three times in 5 months
Note: To feel great about this milestone, he should perform consistenly by preparing himself mentally very well in every innings and score a fifty or hundred or big innings like Sehwag/Bradman and also his batting average should be far better than Ponting.

sahin is grt. not just because he is a grt cricter. but also grt humanbeing. just compare ODI and test match both.
also think about the pressure on him while playing. ans he is batting agains bretlee. mcgrath, warne etc.
some company please offer the oldies a life long supply of ads....even if they retire..or else they wont..dabur danth manjan..banfool tel..502 patakka bidi..anyone listening..??
At the beginning of this series Ponting said that they will not let Sachin get past Lara's record. And since been introducing a debutant bowler in each match. I think this is a conspiracy. Mr. Ponting if you are a man enough, we dare you to bring on Warne or somebody of that repute. And then let’s see how it goes!

dont speak like a pathetic loser. they 're free to bring in anyone they like in their team - why shud it be a friggin conspiracy?! r u a politician or a drama-writer yaar?! just b'cos sachin cudnt get past his 40s hiccups & succumbed, that doesnt mean they hve 2 bring out warne from retirement just becos sachin plays him well!! be a man...accept things as they are happening!
