What Dravid said is correct. Murli, Badri, Rahane etc. do not have rock-solid defense to counter genuine speed or spin. They will have to work really hard. Badri is already 31. Very poor bench- strength. These days players do not persevere, just search the easy route of 20-20 and one-day games for fame and money.

Kamal, Murali is understandable, he has been tried enuf to conclude that he does not have it to succeed in Tests. But Badri, Rahane and Tiwari have not been tried much. So, too early to conclude.
Select All New Players, including --- Kohli, Pujara, Rahane, Vijay, Badrinath, Jadeja, Parminder, Umesh, Bhubneswar, Aswin, Ojha, Amit, Piyush, Rohit etc., so that even if they fail, there will be no so much critism than what is happening now.
