If gambhir is declared unfit india should go in with 4 medium pacers by dropping bhajji and bringing in sreeshant and munaf in place of zaheer. I dont see bhajji taking any wickets and i feel dhoni's concern would be only with over rate and that is why he is playing spinners to complete the overs quickly.If yuvaraj is in and suresh raina can also bowl i feel india should go in with 4 seamers....ishant,praveen,munaf and sreeshant and i feel this would be a better bowling attack

I think ur suggestion is absolutely correct. Dhoni should go for it. Bhaji is not in form either in bat nor in bowling, i think he required rest.
Zaheer's fitness is always a problem. Fail to understand why the Selectors picked him for a tour. He should play only in India on a match to match basis (when 100% fit). He should be recalled and a replacement sent in Varun Aaron or Ashok Dinda or even an Umesh Yadav.
I have 100% faith that this team will bounce back and beat england.England looks very over confident after 1st test and overhyped by their media and former players like botham and boycott and their media(as always, be it a wedding of their stupid prince to be or anything and everything they do. They will be b#anged badly, wait and watch.English media might forget how badly they lost when they visited India in 2008, so wait and watch and keep your back side greecy so it will be smooth bang by Indians.
1)Ban Zaheer from playing IPL..If he says he needs the money..give him the money and ask him not to play in IPL
2) Ask Zaheer to play for mumbai in Ranji Trophy and all domestic matches..only if he proves his fitness and takes wickets in domestic matched then allow him into the team
3) Please ask Anil bhai to speak to Bhajji..he will be the IRFAN PATHAN of future...remember how IRFAN forgot bowling and became a batsmen
4) Parthiv should replace Dhobi in Test Cricket..I dnt remember the last time he won/saved a test for INDIA
5) Sreeshath should only play Tests and Munaf only ODI and T20
6) Start grooming bowlers like Pankaj Singh, Varun Aaron,Bhuwaneshwar Kumar and Yo Mahesh..give them chances
8) Build a set of backup openers. Whenever the Delhi Belly's are injured..we strugle. Try Rahane,Manish Pandey
7)Finally Ashwin can't be allowed to rust in chennai
