Open with Mukund&Dravid,Bring yuvraj in and left H.Singh out because Praveen kumar is bowling like spinner only he can turn the both ways, bowl 36 to 40 overs, and bring munaf to control the runs
Bring the mighty Yuvi in place of Mukund (Dravid can open) and this guy Brod will come under tremendous pressure. There is no point of playing with Mukund just because he is a specialist opener. Going with Mukund in an unimportant series i.e. against Windies, Newzealand or Srilanka can be justified but when your 'honor' and 'pride' is AT STAKE and you have to COUNTERATTACK,you need a player like Yuvi who can put pressure on opposition bowlers. Sehwag is not with you so India have to back Yuvi and not playing him in this all important match and series could bring FATAL consequences for Indian team. Having said that I'm not against the talented lad Mukund and omitting Mukund could have been termed as harsh had this series was against a weaker teams but this is a very-very important series for India and they have to be STREET-SMART in there tactic !
and try out next batch. sort of leading india to a trap. well, india should get R P singh as well to the nets and to play in case he has more confidence.

In a country of 1.2 billion , there's not a single candidate with the abilities, not even close, to what's required to be even considered as a "pace" bowler. This has always been their Achilles heel and will always be, as long as the same useless yahoos are running things. This hands-down defeat at Lords is just a precursor of things to come.
I should be immediately called for Second Test in place of Zaheer Khan. I can bowl inswingers, outswingers, yorkers, and also googly. Even I can score a century.
