Ashwin and Rahul Sharma will sure do well in the sub continent and Harbhajan hasn't done anything noteworthy at all any recently to claim his place in the team. He's a spent force now and it's wise to look beyond the spent forces and build a team for the future even if it means losing a few series and the ICC rankings. In the long run, persisting with youngsters (not the tried and failed lot) will pay rich dividends in future. Sachin & Sehwag do not deserve a place in the team on current form and basking in the glories of double hundreds made in the past and the media's most famous catch phrase, "Form is temporary and Class is permanent!" should be ignored. For heaven's sake give them a break (rather, give us a break from watching them struggle yet again even in favourable conditions here). Place in the team is none's birth right and let them not spoil someone else's career. Umesh Yadav is only good for tests and is very expensive in ODIs. Uthappa and YK.Pathan are not class players and they proved it umpteen times before already. It's like wasting a good chance to try someone worthier. Let cricketing wisdom alone prevail and not any sentiments and emotions during the selection process.
