India Breaks it Finally !!

As a final stamp of how Zaheer has been good recently, he has made the Wisden World XI test team in their latest edition.

Wisden lists always tend to have bias for performances for/against England. So I wouldnt read much into it. Still Zaheer would make my current World XI which would go something like this :

G Smith - C
G Gambhir
J Kallis
S Tendulkar
S Chanderpaul
A Prince
M Dhoni - WK/VC
M Johnson
Z Khan
D Steyn
M Muralitharan

It was a good spell and the bowling too was good but Zaheer is not the 'great' some are trying to make him out to be. He is just a solid Test performer.

I really don't understand this.. I don't see him having been labelled "great" by any of the regular posters here...

Leaving aside the fact that this statement makes no sense whatsoever, the three-man panel that selected him was Ravi Shastri, Ian Smith and Ian Bishop. I'm not sure how you get a combined pro and anti-English bias when you combine an Indian, a West Indian and a New Zealander.

Ooh. I forgot Wisden became part of ESPN STAR. Replace hitherto England with India then.

That's as may be, but it's a strange comment coming from someone who just started a thread bemoaning the lack of pro-Indian writers on ESPN's biggest cricket website.

That too happened fairly recently, I believe.
