He took a wicket of his first ball, correct. But the same match SriLanka score was 954 or something like that Jayasuria and Mahela scored triple centuries.
Just because he was from Mumbai he got a chance to play in a test, otherwise who would have cared? And getting a first ball wicket is a just a luck and is not a proof of his talent. Just because it is cricket related and that too associated with a player from Mumbai, Rediff is publishing this.. what a comedy!!
Why are dravid , laxman still given chances in the tests... why is sachin still not retiring... why are youngsters not given chance untill they are at the end of the career.... these are just some of the questions that keeps asking in many cricket fans in india. the answer will never be known.

and they could not play in 50 overs match properly... SO what is the point for them to give them test chance.
It's unfortunate that players like Amol Muzumdar and Nilesh Kulkarni didn;t got the opportunity to national team. I believe these two had the capabiltities had they been selected to indian team. I believe Amol Muzumdar was the most unluckiest of the two. I believe selectors need to select the players based on merit rather on regional feelings / Business ties. I believe the present selection committee is too biased towards Tamil Nadu or Chennai Super Kings which is not good for indian team. Even the results of indian team now a days is too pathetic because of these regional feelings from Srikanth. I believe in the present team, Murali Vijay, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj, Dinesh Karthik can be shown the door. Atleast selection committee should start looking into quality players like Rahane, Rayudu, Pandey, Pujara etc. Please don;t make them as other Amol Muzumdars.

Hey, when Amol Mazumadar was at his top, we had other 4-pillars available in Indian team at that time - Dravid, Sachin, Laxman and Ganguly. This was hs unfortunate that he was at the top during that period.

True , but the same time caps were given out to lot of morons like Vijay Bhardwaj,Ajay Sharma and the likes.
Selection should be on merit only and should not be a charity. The aussies drop players when they feel tthere is somebody better. healy was dropped after a test in Zimbabwe.

No healy was dropped for "GILCHRIST" . there is no real comparison between healy and Gilchrist. do you have such magnitudes in talent waiting ?
He was selected just beco'z tendulkar wanted only mumbai players in his period. That is why he is not a good captain. Infact No mumbai palyers are a good captain.. Gavaskar, Vensarkar, Shastri or Tendulkar..

Abbe Dhakkan Forgot Ajit Wadekar Who started the Winnings for Ind on western soils ... rotten mind..The guy took wkt on first ball in test...Thats itself is proof...Get life dude...
My heart goes out to Nilesh and other players who have gone out this way. So what if they couldn't represent India at the country level for long, they still had the desire to play at the Ranji level all their career.
