when james anderson, swan, tremlet can put indians at bay only Rahul Dravid could score 103 highest by an indian that too with dropped catch means there some fishy things in team of the Britishers also because Catches win matches so spot fixing or match fixing is suspected as one pound cost 73 indian rupees? London Police please catch hold of harbhajan i am suspecting harbhajan of some fishy performances :young unexperienced boys do well

keep harbhajan out i suspect him underpermance as his business partnership with dhoni is broken so bhajji is to be sent behind bars by London Police for spot fixing or match fixing without taking dhoni in confidence how any dam team bowler can fix match?
Anderson is alcholic, inorder to bowl better he needs a peg of Bailey's. but anyway english gooras are going to loose. tremlett is in doubt for this test. Pick Amit Mishra instead of pest harbajan
Dravi d should open which will allow Raina and Yuvraj to take middle/lower middle slot. Yuvraj give an option of left arm spin which is weakness of Kevin. Out of form Bhajji should be replaced with Mishra, who is an intelligent bowler too. Mukund is very good player but in absence of Zaheer, Yuvi will provide another bowling option.

how about retaining mukund & playing Yuvi in place of harbhajan? Seaming Track, yuvi& raina can fill the spinning option

Harish I was thinking the same.. hope it works out..in both the ways batting and bowling will be added advantage

THIS IS NOT A 20-20 MATCH OR 50 OVER MATCH WHERE 4 OVERS OR 10 CAN BE TRIED BY ANY PART TIME BOWLER, FOR A TEST MATCH REQUIRE GENUINE SPIN OR FAST BOWLER... JUST SEE HOW ENG ARE KEEPING THEIR BOWLING FORCE IN TACT. NEITHER YUVI NOR RAINA CAN BE CONSIDERED AS BOWLERS IN A TEST MATCH THOUGH SEHWAG CAN BE TRIED.

AN excellent team with what is available for selection, but AI would rather have munaf patel instead of erratic sreesant. munaf is reliabhle although a bit slow. Rest is fine, esp mishra for Bhajji is really good. Harbajan needs some rest.

erractic ? he is erratic in 20-20 and One day match. When Test match is played, Sree should be considered not Munaf, Munaf good for 20-20 & 50 over match. Sree is very good for Test matches. Dont forget his recent performances in SA and in India.

seems good team and as you said lot of bowling options. but i wonder raina can handle swing early in his innings
Be positive and attack him. attack is best way to defent. we have done it in the past. we have class players. we didnt have enough time to adjust but hope our top players hit back in 2nd test.

London Police please catch hold of harbhajan i am suspecting harbhajan of some fishy performances :young unexperienced boys do well when 400 wicket taking sardar surrenders due to dropped catches there is some fixing or poor fielding i suspect because Solkar Eknath won some impossible catches and won 1971 series in England but dhoni also dropped some easy edges that clearly means how indians are not practicing the test cricket. I must say first test was additional practice by sachin, laxman because dhoni i can understand he is newly married most confused but sachin and laxman they are most experienced this is some lazyness of indian legends to practice as dhoni played football as shown in times of india before first match means no concentration on cricket by captain allowed all others to relax on the contrary England did their homework better than us?
