    ***Official India in New Zealand***

    Sreesanth took 5 for 167 at over 4 rpo and was very inconsistent throughout the match. The selectors could have taken a chance and hoped that he's back to his best by the time he's needed, but I don't mind their decision to opt for reliable domestic performers. Pathan hasn't accomplished any...

    No. 6 for Post Packer XI

    Why does Gilchrist have to bat at 7?

    ***Official India in New Zealand***

    Sreesanth bowled mostly rubbish in the Duleep Trophy and clearly isn't ready for test cricket yet. Irfan Pathan had a good domestic season but failed to impress (just like Balaji) in Sri Lanka; had he been selected, it would've been for balance and based on his domestic stats (so much for your...

    Choose three batsmen for the Post Packer XI middle order

    Didn't notice Viv Richards further down the list - if it comes down to it, please change my vote from Ponting to Richards.

    Mohammed Kaif - Where did he go ?

    He's scoring heavily in domestic cricket but so are the likes of Pujara, Vijay, Rahane, Badrinath and more. Kaif the batsman is a bit of a misfit in general: he can't always score quickly enough in one-day cricket and he doesn't compile the massive innings you like to see in prospective test...

    ***Official India in New Zealand***

    Actually, Praveen Kumar has the superior FC record. More importantly, he's troubled top-class batsmen in international cricket not too long ago. Balaji showed some promise several years ago and he didn't look threatening at all against Sri Lanka the other day. I'm not saying he doesn't...

    Balaji over Praveen Kumar? You've got to be kidding me. Either Balaji or Kulkarni should have made it, but not both.

    Who is Australia's second best Test cricketer ever?

    Gilchrist is an all-time great but his greatness is exaggerated by how much better he was than any other wicketkeeper-batsman. McGrath > Warne as a bowler, barely by enough that the other aspects don't matter IMO. Miller's right up there as well but I'd still go with McGrath - that said, Warne...

    NZs Bowling Attack For India

    How is the Indian pace attack limited? Zaheer and Ishant are on song and Munaf may have been the third seamer even if Sreesanth and RP Singh were around. The reserves are relatively depleted but don't underestimate Praveen Kumar - his game is made for the pitches in NZ.

    Who is India's best ever Test cricketer?

    Disagree, but you're telling me you rate Kumble ahead of Jack Hobbs (3), Viv Richards (5) and Brian Lara (6) as well? Just going by CW's verdict in the Ranking the Batsmen thread I facilitated a a few years ago.

    Who is India's best ever Test cricketer?

    By that standard, Tendulkar was a better batsman than Kumble was a bowler so he should be on par or ahead of him as a cricketer. Kumble was an absolute champion, but India's dependency on him to win tests home and abroad also says something about the quality of our other bowlers. On top of...

    Build-up to Indian Domestic Season 2008-09

    Jadeja has generally been a top-class limited-overs spinner, be it for India A or in domestic cricket. Pawar was clearly superior in first-class cricket until this season (Jadeja was quite ordinary until the past season) and he'll have to do much better in the domestic circuit to be a serious...

    Yusuf Pathan is a better T20 batsman than Rohit Sharma, anywhere in the order.

    ***Official*** India in Sri Lanka

    That's what I was thinking too but isn't 17 a bit much? Is there any restriction on how many you can take?

    ***Official*** India in Sri Lanka

    Completely agree. Unfortunately, our pace stocks currently look quite poor after Zaheer, Ishant, Munaf and Praveen. India really need Sreesanth and RP Singh to return to top form; Balaji, Irfan and the rest will be a bonus. Let's hope Munaf is ready to go after the injury he picked up in SL...
