After looking at Wrights profile on cric-info, i'm struggling to figure why he was selected. Can anyone shed some light for me...?
Much improved player this season. Pretty dire beforehand, hence his bad overall record. I certainly wouldn't have picked him but he looks the goods at the moment.

The difference between Watto and Wright is that Wright can actually bat :p.

Anyway Dravid needs to bring back Zaheer for a over or two.

IMO, Watson is a far better batsman than Wright. Watto has got better technique compared to Wright,though Watto is not a big hitter like Wright but Watto showed during the WC that he can use the long handle to good effect.

No I am not. I just got up in the morning and was sitting on the Mac when my wife turned around in the bed and said "Gooood moooorniiiinng". With my labs already curled on my feet I felt life was great. On top of that India was playing a game today and I had all the time in the world to take out a Guinness and watch without a care in the world.

I said that to my wife things could hardly be better. She replied , "Yes they could, India could win tonight!"

She is very cynical about Indian cricket and almost always says we are going to lose so this was a BIG surprise. I justsaid YESSS and typed out that post.

Perfect. Though, it seems to be getting away really quickly right now.

It'll be interesting to see how Gambhir and Uthappa bat together. I don't think India have ever played them both in a game?

Nah, his batting technique is far from my cup of tea tbh.
Can I ask, why you pidgeonhole styles of cricket? Why not like a variety of styles. I can appreciate a good Kallis knock just as much as an Afridi, or in this case Wright going nuts.

Not a criticism, just curious.
