I think this is a good move. Virat is much more composed in tests (well, at least he seems so) than Yuvraaj. Also Left arm off breaks of Pragyan will be new for the Englishmen as they haven't had a look at him before which might surprise them who are not good players if the ball turns and Pragyan will turn (unlike the so called turbanator who has lost his spin for good now).

The only worry for selecting Pragyan or Amit is that Englan have a battery of Left Handers (Cook, Strauss, Morgan, Broad - Shame but have to call Broad also a Batsmen these days) and both will spin into them. If it had been a Right hand off break it would have been better. Both Pragyan and Amit bowls superb Doosras 9the arm balls), it remains to be seen how effectively they use it.
time for tendlya to pullup his socks and open for team india.....he should learn frm great dravid on how to play for team needs....for years tendlya escaped frm accepting responsibilities....until chappel caught him and warned him....his useless 100 at no.4 positions wont make any difference to teams victories abroad on these kind of pitches......this is a challenge and he must accept this and perform it like dravid.....no other opening combination will succeeede against this high quality seam attack of ENG.....
I have written the best spinner Ojha was cooling his heels in Hyderabad -as Mishra was just not as good as he should be in WI .Ojha you play him in SA and against Australia ,but drop him to WI .It was just stupid .Now you call him and put so much expectations - he is bound to wilt under pressure. You also expect Shewag with magic wand .Have we gone nuts ?
yes, until dhoni dont push the remaining 9 players to the corner to KEEP HIS GANG, he wont have peace. even when limping on one leg, dhoni does not want to give up on politics. AGAIN LIKE SONIA, DHONI WANT TO ride on back of Indian support by forced selection and support of those 9 players who have to comply to dhoni wishes. to be equal in judgement , even advania-jaitely do the same things in BJP.
Why is this nut being selected yet again, after failing grossly against the Windies ??? Is he paying something to the selectors ?? Rohit Sharma or S Badrinath should have been in the squad !!!
