“I am safe”. That is the first message the selectors sending. It was 8-0 alright but let it become 10-0 or at least 9-0 then it will be perfectly safer for “change time “ , the selectors seem to be saying ! Sehwag-Gambhir opening pair led Delhi to a glorious defeat against UP. Can replicate that feat against England at A'bad? Even otherwise India do not have a very good win record at that venue ! A Rahane gets one more peek ! Good. But will he get to play ? But there is opener no.4 in the form of Murali vijay ! But the worry is that before he moves his feet in the crease Stuart broad’s or Finn’s balls should not find them !Why wasn’t middle order strengthened instead ? They want to continue banking on aging Sachin Tendulkar, MP for ever ? And what happens to the technically correct poor Badrinath or Manoj Tiwary who got runs ? Dhoni, the politician cleverly backs an unsure Murali Vijay to deprive more skilled batters like Badrinath or the highly talented A Srikant etc. Neither M Vijay can cement his place nor the others can get their opportunity! Dhoni’s masterstroke indeed! “Singh is King” , is the second message of the selectors ! Otherwise how do you explain a struggling sardar in Ranji matches robbing Dinda’s place in the national side ? Holding on to coat -tails of Sachin,MP also helps naturally. ! Yuvi of course has earned his place the hard way. Good luck .Last but not least is Zaheer,

(contd.from above )..Yuvi of course has earned his place the hard way. Good luck .Last but not least is Zaheer, the eternal “Nakhrebaaz”!If this fellow repeats his fetish for ‘clutching his calf muscles ’ during the match yet again then will Sandip Patil quit ?

Murali Vijay like many other Indian Batsmen is full of strokes on dead Indian Wickets. But don,t know to play when the ball is swinging or pitched short. His selection is a waste.
