we dont seem to have learnt the lesson from england series. If someone announces himself as fit he is selected - isn't there a fitness test or something? I think all guys should be tested before they are put into the pool of candidates for selection

It always happen Irfan Phathan,Asish Nehra,Harbhajan,RP singh should be in the team India has beat the australia in perth test because of their great bowling in 2007
THESE BUGGERS WILL HIDE ISHANTS INJURY ...........AND AGAIN WE WUD BE STRUGGLING TO GET 20 WCKTS....DOUBTS ON ZAHEER ALSO PERSIST....I THINK WHENVER A TOUGH TOUR COMES THERES AN INJURY AND THEN THESE FELLOW WHEN IT COMES 2 IPL WILL HAVE NO INJURIES AND BACK 2 HOME CONDITIONS WITH SPINNERS ROOLING THE ROOST..I THINK THEY SHUD CARRY AN INDIAN PITCH WHENEVER THEY TAVEL ABROAD
With concerns about Ishant's fitness, the news from the Indian domestics is of 27 year old TP Suhindra. In the recently concluded drawn match against Haryana, TP Suhindra takes a 10 wicket haul.
TP Suhindra, is the only bowler in domestic FC who is listed on the cricinfo profile as right arm fast. That also does not include Ishant, Zaheer, Yadav and Aaron! who are listed fast-medium.
Is Subhindra quicker than everyone else ? His eco rate is impressive as well. He was picked in the recent Challenger series for the red team and did very well.
Why was'nt he picked for the Indian team ? Well age could be a concern, but still has 4-5 years left in him and India could have used him.
Another factor could be the plate leagues may have inflated his average. We did not have this problem with Umesh Yadav from Vidharba as long as you have pace.
I think the selectors should fly him over to Australia as a replacement before the 2nd warm up tour game on Dec 19 and have him play that. He could be available if not for the 1st Test but can be ready and acclimatised for the 3rd or 4th Test.

The selectors probably had a reason. Plate league cricket plus age was a factor. He also played for the rebel ICL league and the BCCI might take that against you.
