Are you sure Rawat is even half as good as Kaarthick behind the stumps?Dravid said:

Highly unlikely. Karthik was good when he was India's test keeper, but he's been absolutely brilliant in what I've seen of him since then (ie A tours, domestic cricket). I dare to say he's looked world-class behind the stumps, but of course the real test comes when you have to keep to Kumble and Bhajji.honestbharani said:

yeah, but even when he was with the national side, he looked like the only keeper since Mongia to be picking Kumble. And Bhajji is not as tough to keep to as Jumbo, IMHO.adharcric said:
The point is that I think for tests, the better keeper has to get in. For ODIs, the better batter.

Yeah, I wasn't implying that Karthik struggled against Kumble and Bhajji. Just saying that his exceptional glovework in domestic cricket doesn't mean too much.honestbharani said:
He is a very good keeper and I for one won't be devastated if Dhoni doesn't succeed in the test series in SA.
I want Dhoni to succeed, but in Karthik we have the best backup keeper-batsman in the world (well, Haddin is there).

Yeah but if Boucher got injuried then De Villiers would probably take over the gloves, therefore back up keeper.adharcric said:

If this Pawat guy is international class then most sides would have atleast three.adharcric said:Yeah. Basically, my point is that India has one of three international-class backup keepers. Karthik is a good backup to have.

The last thing the Indian team needs now is another so-called wicketkeeper-batsman. Rawat, Patel and Bisla may be decent wicketkeeper-batsmen, but they're not needed now.
Anyway, the Lankans are now at 259/4, with three wickets taken by Rajesh Sharma and one by Joginder Sharma. Strangely, the off-colour Nehra got 25 overs, while Joginder, one of the better bowlers in the first innings, only got eight and stock seamer Rana didn't get the ball at all. Hopefully we'll see the North Zone bowlers wrap up the innings tomorrow– one or two quick wickets will get the tail in, and they can then attack. Getting Malinda and Chamara is the key for now.

North Zone have won their match by eight wickets. Gambhir and Ricky departed cheaply, but Chopra scored a 50 at a strike rate of 70 to see them home.
This was after Lanka A were all out for 426. Nehra went for over 120 runs but picked up two wickets. Joginder picked up four for the match at a not-too-healthy average, but better than Nehra, adding to his score over 70. Rajesh sharma picked up five for 110 in 41 overs. Strangely, Sachin Rana only bowled six overs in the match.
