Make a name, do a few things and then seal your place in IPL and that's it; One can live with that pattern all their life and make sure the kids also do. Foolish audience (even after everyone knows how and why the WC 2011 was fixed)
It is good that there was a two day match in between and Zaheer played in it. Otherwise he would have played the 3rd test and left after first spell because of injury. We do not want dhoni to bowl anymore.
After R P singh, he needs to have rohit in the team. Also for spin, he needs to have Pragyan and Rahul (to stop t20 binge by angrez at will).
Dhoni can hold back on one of Rohit and rahul till 4th match if he cannot make quick change in team. BUT HE NEEDS TO HAVE THEM ON THE NET. He cannot stop players that INDIA NEEDS just because his friends refuse it. same applies for Srikant.
It's time that Zaheer Khan quits from playing cricket, like Andrew Flintaff. How the selectors pick him time and again without checking his fitness speaks the player's honesty about his fitness and officials/selectors apathy to do their homework before selecting players like him. He is a good bowler, but he is no Kapil Dev and there are many bowlers waiting in the wings for a chance to prove their worth. Moreover, the number of times he breaks down, like on the first day of the 1st Test match, puts the team in a jeopardy, Hew may be asked to retire for the good of the team.

Ashish Nehra should be broght IN as replacement for Zaheer. His swing is much effective in England and is experienced too. Also need to rest Sehwag if he not 100% fit.
Too many seniors put additionl ressure on juniors as they have to do lot of running. so both seniors also get injured because of overage and juniors because of too much loads. Ours seniors should now retire for sake of country prestige otherwise call back gavaskar, kapildev, madan lal to continue playing because they are exerienced.
