What an excuse for dropping a completely out of form Harbhajan? It would have been graceful if Harbhajan had volunteerly opted out of team on his form basis. What who would like to miss the honor being a member of the national team whether you play or not. Who knows that the new comer may play so well that he may ensure a permanent place in the team and Harbhajan may be permanently shunted out of the team. Jai Ho
D. goel pkl.afternoon 5.40pm, Wednesday, Aug. 3. 2011. We never thought that our Test Squad shall be so miserably outclassed as it has been in thwe the two tests ending this week. harbhajan ''s Dossra has not doneany damage, and we haveallowed theUK''s Team to defeat us by over 300 runs. Is it likely that the remaining two events of test matches could avenge us? Mere presence of sahwag ,I dont think can be so material, unless we improve our defeatist Psyche.D. Goel
He is not injured he is an underperformer and an overated bowler . Even If Mishra is trashed for runs in next 10 Tests he still should be retained as this man has repeatedly underperformed since many years now .I cant remeber last time he won India a match

Yes and knowing Sachin he will score the 100th ton and every Indian will be happy even if we lose the No.1 status. No.1 status is not important but Sachin''s 100th is.

ha ha ha, another chance!!! he will play until he is 50. A statistical run maker who amasses runs by tons in inconsequential games. He has been dependable only during early part of his career. not any more. Its time to decide if team's victory is more important or his century. There are only two guys in the team who can be depended upon. RD and VVS only. Anyway, this team of PAPER TIGERS is now looking like a flock of FAT LAME DUCKS overfed on a diet of IPL steroids. Its better they lose the remaining matches too with heavy margins and they come out of the IPL and WC hangovers.
This is the best news one can get..no matter india will win or not,we want some pretty old faces who r not performing to get lost from the team and flood-in some new faces...with new faces no one feels bad even if india loses..but with this team who has arnd 500 wickets among themselves and 250 centuries among all-really its a shame to bow our head in front of the always jealous England people...tat too loosing in this way is a shame
