We congratulate the selection committee who selected totaly right combination of player. Recall of Dhawan in place of Gambhir is the right decision. Raina is ODI player like Yuvraj & failed in test matches in the past. Jaffar is very old & not competent to play against Aus pace attack. Dhoni should use five bowlers instead of four(Two seamers Bhuvneshwar & Ishant ) (three spinners Harbhajan,Ashwin & Jadeja).

Very correct assessment of Jaffer and need to have 5 bowlers. Gambhir should have gone long time back, instead he was being offered captaincy!!

If Harbhajan was brought back to bring experience into the bowling department, then why was Jaffer not selected ? I mean he had proven himself in the past at least on Indian soil. He would have provided some stability to the opening partnership. With Viru himself in such poor form how will he be able comparitive tyros like Dhawan or Rahane if they get a chance. Or is it to ensure that Murli Vijay (of Chennai and CSK background) gets the chance

What chance? The guy got 31 tests and he could score only 3 centuries at an avg of 35 which is pathetic. The team should boldly take youngsters like Vijay and Dhawan and groom them for future. Same case persist with Bhuvaneshwar and Ojha like bowlers and all rounders Ashwin and Jadega.

And what about Rayadu? He scored a century - if Irani cup is inconsequential from selection point of view , better scrap it!

raidu is far superior wicketkeeper batsman than dhoni & hence threat to him. Any wktkeeper batsman has no chance as long as politician dhoni in team
