Well with all the stiff necks and back spasm's we do have excellent replacements for the batting as well. It seems like Karthik effectively cannot overcome Dhoni's loss and a better batting WK is Parthiv Patel. Based on merit and performance rather than looks here are the several possilities.
For Dhoni's replacement:
Parthiv Patel 159 innings @40.85
It may be time for the selectors to also look at how long Laxman can carry on. There are possible middle order heavyweights in the domestic scene with great fielding skills. So for Yuvraj and Laxman the several possiblities from the FC scene they are:
The cut-off point is a minimum average of 55 and a mininum playing experience of 50 innings, that way if a player is lucky initially it will cancel out in the long term. So the longer he has player the better the average. A batsmen's average tells you at what level he is playing the game. It gives a chance to the selectors to assess if he needs to be persisted, if he has an excellent FC average or not.
With a combination of age, sample size and fielding skills, Rahane is the top contender for Yuvraj and Laxman, the next contender is Pujara.
I think we need to start the process with Yuvraj, Dhoni and Laxman. The stiff necks and back spasm's are becoming chronic.
It happens only in India. After such a dismal performance vs Aus, we take pleasure of giving such fool award to Bhajji. We all know how poor he has been as a bowler recently. He has just forgotten art of taking wickets. MVP my foot. India is great.
Since last few days Bhajji is not in best of the form, He is unable to make impact on the game. He takes few wickets only. And what yesterday Riky said nathan hauritz bowled better then Bhajji in the series i am convinced with him.
yesterday I saw the news that headly has turned into a terrorist. its really sad that once a great cricketer has taken this path. He may be falsley implicated but if it is true it is really bad for cricket. It must be investigated why he took such path leaving his glorious past.

Its not Richard Hadlee u Moron, Its an Ameican named Headley who has got nothing to do with Cricket.
all fast bowlers are too expensive and donot even take wickets so agarkar should be called as our main strike bowlers. he is wicket taker. His records says so

in the chart above presented agarkar also can get field points also to be a valuable player top in the fast bowlers
I think this is one other form of weakening the team by feeding them ego-bloating pills. Okay, agreed that Harbhajan is MVP. How come Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni come second and third. Is it because they are wealthy or they endorse many brands and have many girlfriends? It seems a joke of the millenium... God only knows on what basis these people go on rewarding the failing and ailing cricket players.
Bhajji is not fit to b a player n this article is showing him as MVP. Here is a fella whos not able to get wickets of OZ & still he's india's premier off spiner !!!1
