Why so gloomy ?

Even against South Africa last year, we lost the first test (that too by an innings) and then bounced back to draw the series.

Beating an indian side which played with three bowlers and 2 unfit batsman in 1st test and beating a full fit indian side is a different thing.

Sachin showed much energy before the first Test when he was busy with family particularly Arjun and quickly became unfit when he was unable to perform.

Geoff would not be so attacking against India if Sourav would have played.

by raja shekaran on Jul 28, 2011 11:32 AM

Just by winning one match against the number one team the Angrez feel that everything is in their control...........
But once the Dangerous man enters our team and smashes the ball all over the ground, then everything is over for england........

We want you sehwag to take revenge against the english and shatter their dreams...........

INDIA PLEASE GET YOUR SELECTION RIGHT !

Well, England can make hay as long as Sehwag remains unavailable. But India could at least have made it much tougher for England in the First Test had they been a little more adventurous in the selection of the eleven, and included another similarly aggressive player who has troubled England with both bat and ball.

There were suggestions by several fans in these forums to have Dravid open with Gambhir in the first Test and play Yuvraj instead of Mukund. Though Mukund shaped quite well, the English bowlers were always likely to be one up on him, given his relative inexperience.

Yuvraj would also have been more than handy as a bowler for long spells after India were reduced to three bowlers right from the first day. (besides his batting. fielding and overall energy he brings to the side).

Compared to the previous tour (2007) India this time has not got their selection right. At least two wrong selections come to mind - Dinesh Karthik should have been the second wk and not Saha, given the excellent starts he gave as opener in difficult conditions that time. Another dicey selection is Munaf’s, who has no pace and also not fit enough for long spells in Tests. He is just good for ODIs. In his place should have been RP Singh who again like Karthik had a great tour troubling most England batsmen who are uncomfortable against left arm bowlers.

Selection was good, only thing is that youngster did'nt fire like Sachin or Dravid. Sehwag is different genre of player. Don't confuse between result vis a vis style. Main concern remains for India is their Bowling attack. & ITS GOING TO STAY.
