Laxman performs like a man possessed when injured, so I guess that's a good sign.

Rahane should be ahead of Rohit in any case.

What???Mahatma Gandhi is dead?Yuvraj dropped for the third test.Rohit Sharma called up as replacement.
I didn't see the posts above. I just saw the news now. Why hasn't Pujara been recalled? Has he still not recovered from his injury?

Pujara has recovered, he will play next round of Ranji matches

I really can't stress enough how desperate West Indies are for a World class keeper/batsman. It would literally transform us as a test team IMHO. The amount of times we collapse after the 5th wicket falls is so frustrating. The trouble is I really can't see one on the horizon. I thought Devon Thomas looked class at Under 19 level but he seems to be regressing at a rate of knots.
The bowling is coming a long reasonably well, the middle order is taking shape, we just need Gayle back and a keeper/batsman and we will be competitive against anyone.

I've still got a lot of hope for Baugh, tbh. He was a batsman first and a keeper a distant second for a long time earlier in his career and the quality of his keeping was the only thing that really kept him out of the team. His keeping has quite obviously come on leaps and bounds in the last few years as he's been showing in his last Test stint but unfortunately his batting hasn't really come off at this level yet. I still think it could although admittedly I'm filled with less confidence in it after every failure.

Something doesn't look right with his batting on this tour so far. He just looks like he will get out any minute playing across the line. I would love him to come good because at domestic level he is a hugely entertaining batsman with a wide array of shots. Time is running out though, we need runs from our keeper too.
Ahh ok, thanks.
Should Ishant be rested to bring in Varun? Or may be they could prepare a wicket with some grass for the next one and test the 3 pacers and the new incoming batsman as well.

LOLwut? Indian team selection finally jumping the shark?

No.. Juz rest the big 3 and try out the youngsters, IMO.
I guess they could still play that line up minus Yuvraj. Sachin will slot in at 4. No way is he gonna be rested for a test match at home. I am calling him getting his 100th in front of his home crowd. The stars can't be aligned any better.

Gotta go with the new CW classic:
I saw it in the other thread too but it really suits this situation better.
