I feel they should have included Rayudu in the team for Australian tour, as his performance is quiet encouraging and he is an dependable batsman at no.3.

fully agree with you. without any seniors like Sehwag, Ghambir,Yuvraj,Harbhajan,Ojha etc,in the selected side, humiliation awaits us in Aust.

you dont want the other kind of whitewashes? like we whitewashed clarke's aus side the last time they came in india? because we dropped all the seniors...
not happpy with he overall selection ...where is dinesh kartick who is far better wk-batsman than these saha and ojha ..also they should have selected exciting young batting sensation Baba Aparjit instead of that fi for nothing ktaka dravid clone waste KL rahul
VERY YOUNG TEAM with only Dhoni and Ishant played more than 50 matches. Otherwise most of the players have not played even double digit test matches so far. They should prove good with freshness. Dhoni should guide them in right direction. They are proven players in domestic front so far.All the best to the young team in a tough tour

Youngsters are inexperience because of extended career opportunity provided to senior players like Sachin, Dravid, Laxman and Sehwag in spite of their failures in Tests. These seniors insisted to be in the team for foreign tours but not taken ineterest in playing against smaller Countries and within India. Dhoni is continuing this tradition by keeping youngsters on bench and selecting his own favorites like Ashwin, Jadeja, Murli Vijay etc.

probably after one or two seasons he will find a place in the team after Saha etc., will not be considered after one or two seasons because of their age

Saha was selected because of Bengal Lobby of Dalmiya & Ganguly. It was just a quota system. Naman Oza was definitely better suited but he was considered for only first Test & then return to India.
Manish Pandey is in the form of his life with scores of 135*, 75, 69* and 101* in his last 4 innings for a staggering average 0f 380! looked even better han Rohit Sharma in the SL opening match surprised how he was overlooked by the selectors

I think he will be considered for world cup team as some of the players will be dropped for one dayers

yea same.. i was surprised to see pujaras average too.. i guess the england tour statistics gave his average a hammering..

this is because of recent failures Egland series. Both virat and pujara suffered in that tour with low scores
