Utterly disagree with his selection. He has not done well in his limited chances this year for UP in the Ranji Trophy, he is still young to First Class cricket and is still living off his strong debut season. Why can the selectors not look past a single year before assessing a player? He may have some pace, but he has not put in the hard yards on flat pitches, this year, that Irfan Pathan has, that RP Singh has (even though he has not been successful, he has got overs under his belt).and that Vinay Kumar has. This delayed reaction from Indian selectors to realise when a player who has performed well over a few years is in good form (rather than waiting to pick a player who debuted strongly in First Class cricket but has since fizzled out) costs us dearly.The interesting selection is that of Sudeep Tyagi- maybe he can get a Test cap; he looked good in his debut ODI, nasty pitch notwithstanding.
He is next in line for a middle order spot but since they picked only 15 and wanted a reserve keeper, Dinesh Karthik was picked ahead of him.. They have kept a back up opener in Murali Vijay.You guys = India
By what standard? It's not as bad as it has been in the past, sure, but it's still worse than every other Test team. New Zealand's batting could quite justifiably be described as terrible and it's worse than that, so "pretty decent" is a bit of an overstatement.Bangladesh's batting is starting to look pretty decent
