VK is arguably the best limited overs batsman during chase.So pls preserve him for ODIs and T20s.He should not be a regular in the test team.S Badrinath is a test prospect and should be included in the test XI.

Please try Rohit at No.4 and Sehwag at 5 thats the best bet in South Africa,, We can judge Rohit only in South Africa not On DEAD iNDIAN WICKETS
One Girl MURDERED - JESSICA - Who cares for the others! One Girl RAPED - NIRBHAYA - Who cares for the others! One Child Falls in BORE-WELL - PRINCE - Who cares for the others! One Player in India - SACHIN - Who cares for the others! One Patriotic family in India - NGandhi - Who cares about the real Gandhi family and others! Yes We are Indians and We are HIPPOCRATES and when we PRAISE one Individual - We are in REALITY ABUSING all the others. Keep it up INDIANS!
Bring Sehwag & Zaheer into the test team. My order will be as follows 1. Dhawan 2. Rahane 3. Pujara 4. Kohli 5. Sehwag 6. R.Sharma 7. MSD 8. R.Ashwin 9. Ojha/Mishra/Zaheer 10. B.Kumar 12. M.Shami
could have played atleast another 20 tests. He never dropped catches like dravid ,had fitness problem like laxman or was out of form like ganguly just before retirement.Sachin was THE fittest cricketer to call it off.Kudos my Sachin.

i liked ur 5 batsman idea n opener as rahane. but i wud add jadeja in place of ojha not merely as all rounder but purely as a bowler. taking 24 wkts against ausis in 4 tests not an easy task. i consider him purely as bowler n definitely he can bat a bit n improve his batting n it vl b a gr8 achievement for him n for benefit of the country.

You are correct 99% . The case of Ishant Sharma is not right. He is not fit to play any kind of cricket.

May be you are right. But I feel that Ishant Sharma, if counselled a bit, can be a very useful bowler in tests in South Africa and Australia, with his height and pace. I also agree with MSD that players cannot be spoon-fed but when a potentially useful player is lacking something, the coach, manager etc. can come to his help and fine tune him.

51/2 batsmen won't do. Dhoni is only 1/2 batsman in tests. We need one more btasman in place of 1 bowler. MAy be Yuvi/Sehwag/GAmbhir.

There are many people who are in the line Even without him cricket will move Remember cricket is more prominent than sachin.It is true he has donte enough .Like after Rana pratap Shivaji maharaj came .Afte tulsi daws Kalidas came,after tatas ambani came, after madhubala madhri came,after dilip Big B came life is such let us not feel thegrief.Life is subject to change but performences will continue dear .I aprecite your devotion to Sachin .I do consider him as a gentleman and sportsman with true cricket spirit .We all miss him But that is not the end.Even his own sonmay come up Let us all pray for Arujnb
