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.
It's just what I like to see, really. I can appreciate Wright's innings here as being very important for his team and exactly what was required - it was a very good innings. It just wasn't as asthetically pleasing to me as Kallis or Watson would have been though. Nothing against the innings from a cricketing sense, but he's not going to leap up my list of favourite players unless he plays the style of cricket I enjoy. That doesn't mean I won't be able to recognise his performances if he plays well, though, unless he's Andrew Symonds.

Zak (Zaheer) has bowled really well and he has been the best bowler on show throughout this series.

Honestly, Ajit Agarkar is so useless its not even funny anymore, its just annoying.

Nah I understand that, just curious as to why you like only one style. Fair enough though.

It always has been throughout his ridiculous career.
India have had a big ears requirement it seems, with one player at least having huge hears.

Surely Gambhir can fill that void, and we can let AA's career finally end?

Agarkar is just not a death bowler and the sooner Dravid realizes this the better it would be for India, but on second thoughts does India have anyone better than Agarkar atm i guess the answer is NO.

Agarkar actually is a death bowler, he's just bowled complete rubbish all series.

I'd rather Sreesanth attitude or not, and RPS... and probably Patel too.
