Indian Batting after Sachin, Dravid, Ganguly?

Have you read the utter tripe Times of India? Given the standard of Indian daily's, DNA was refreshing. It doesn't carry the boring old world tone of The Hindu and is at an informal level which I like. It isn't as good as Hindustan Times or Indian Express mind.

I think that a partial answer to this question may come when South Africa take on India A on March 20-22 as the opener of their tour of India.

With competition from DNA and HT, it seems The Times Of India is doing a lot better now. However, it seems, there's a lot of biased reporting in this paper. Moreover, Bombay Times, we've noticed, takes money to print articles and pictures that are not at all newsworthy. Who screamed loudest? Mid-Day!

Agreed on the TOI thing. Never seen a more blatantly pro-establishment paper, ridiculous stuff. However, any newspaper that can't hire a competent proof-reader can't be labeled "good". DNA is filled with grammatical errors, something I just can't digest.

And yeah, HT and Indian Express are the best ones by far, though the Free Press Journal isn't doing so badly of late.

I am not a regular reader of DNA as it is not a Calcutta based paper and doesn't have a Calcutta edition yet as far as I am aware. If it is indeed filled with grammatical errors and suchlike, it indeed cannot be termed good. Fair point.

Be seriously surprised if Rohit Sharma doesn't become India's best batsman at some point in the medium/long term.

Don't forget Yuvraj Singh, I think he'll end with a good test record, similar to Ganguly's or Laxman's.

There is almost no chance that Yuvraj Singh will finish his Test career averaging almost 50 in the middle order, which is what Laxman does. Of that much I am sure. Perhaps he'll average over 40, but I think it's unlikely.

OUT: Tendulkar, Ganguly, Dravid

IN: Ghambir, Uthappa, R.Sharma

So you'll chuck a couple of openers in the middle order, ignoring India's opening issues and the multitude of FC middle-order batsmen who are better than Uthappa, and atleast equal to Gambhir.

Perhaps that Pujara chap who has a made bright start to his first-class career while in his teens.

Cheteshwar Pujara?

1583 runs at 63.32 for his domestic side is impressive indeed, but he certainly hasn't impressed at a slighter higher level. He has earnt selection for West Zone, so hopefully he puts some runs on the board for them in the upcoming Duleep Trophy. Definitely one to watch, along with quite a few others. Regularly dominated at U19 level too.
