Not really bothered by lack of acclimitisation considering we have a whole heap of ODI's to get our bearings in time for the Tests.
Yeah, shouldn't be a problem unless there's much difference in the batting lineup of the ODI and test sides.

Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman are players who are extremely vital to India's success in tests in NZ and both of them are not going to get any practice prior to the tests.

I'm sure the BCCI could fly them in earlier and have them get used to the weather etc. Obviously won't get any match practice but the guys in question have been to NZ before so should have some level of expectation on how to adjust.

For Australian fans, Setanta Sports is showing the Sri Lanka vs India games live. This is great news and I'm glad I didn't cancel my subscription. The details of the games and the schedule can be found here.

i dont see the point in picking ojha with jadeja all ready in the team-there is no way they can play in the same 11.

Better. Ten Sports is the worst channel to watch a cricket match. Rubbish commentary. Rubbish telecast. Neo is a notch better.
It seems everyone's forgotten about the dire DD Sports after they lost all their contracts...

When was the last time they telecasted a live cricket match other than Bollywood oldies Vs South superstars?
They last got to show England's tour of India in 2006 alongside Sahara...now it seems they're trying to get TRPs with T10 Gully Cricket...even as nobody watches their outdated, decade-old programming. Surely, Doordarshan and Trans World were terrible, by any stretch...

So the attack would look like...

Zaheer, Ishant, Munaf, Praveen - Yuvraj / Sehwag will complete the quota of 5th bowler...
 

Athlai

Not Terrible
Jayasuriya has faced the Indian bowlers 76 times (most in one day cricket)
He has the most runs against them.
The most centuries against them (6)
The most fifties against them (13 tied with de Silva)
2nd highest score (189)
4th Highest career SR against them (for players with more than 1000 runs, behind Afridi, Gilchrist, Symonds)

Love the old war horse so much.
