WAC!You can always rely on Cevno to apologise for Ishant Sharma. The anti-Teja.
I don't think he should play either. However that doesn't mean it wouldn't be unfair to drop him.I don't think Jadeja should play outside the subcontinent/WI at the moment. Nether he or Dhoni are good enough to bat six in foreign conditions and the bowling attack should be three seamers and Ashwin. I'm a fan but there's no place for him.
India will probably give it a go though.
Will you pick him or Ojha as backup spinner ? Close call but reckon they'll pick Jadeja for the extra batting, if they don't pick Harbhajan i.e.I don't think Jadeja should play outside the subcontinent/WI at the moment.

If you only picked him because of the conditions then it's absolutely fair to drop him when those conditions stop being so. It's not unfair or inconsistent selection if you drop a player for team balance reasons.I don't think he should play either. However that doesn't mean it wouldn't be unfair to drop him.
That's my view of the situation anyway. He got an opportunity to play four tests and put in an awesome performance moving beyond playing well enough to be in the probables to actually putting his name in concrete.
He probably won't hold his spot in South Africa and it'll probably be a net loss if he plays. But there's no way we can not play him after 24 @ 17.
Yeah I'd pick Jadeja over Ojha.Will you pick him or Ojha as backup spinner ? Close call but reckon they'll pick Jadeja for the extra batting, if they don't pick Harbhajan i.e.
Don't think he'll go as a all rounder though. But a bowler who can bat a bit.

yyyyeeeeessssTendulkar's Test average now 53.86, exactly the same as Greg Chappell. I think it would be a nice tribute for him to retire now - India's greatest player linked forever to their greatest coach.
