Jadeja's in as a batting all-rounder, surely?

Well he was always picked as a bowling all rounder in limited overs cricket, but I think he's equally good in both facets, not exceptional obviously, but one aspect isn't considerably better than the other, it's a similar situation as Ashwin, even though Ashwin gets picked as a bowler.

Jadeja is a solid pick. Much better bowler than Yuvraj and the other parttimers. On current for he's probably better than Ashwin. Good batsman too.

Think it might be Dinda and Ishant next test...which is awful. Dinda is awful. Can't see either of those two taking any wickets apart from tailenders.

Jadeja is a gun pick - might actually work wonders for India IMO. Far, far, better than Yuvraj anywho.

Interesting squad, at least they have done something but it would seem that 4 of the top 5 get another chance to fail and Zaheer carries the can for the bowling being poor. Must admit I never expected Zaheer to get the chop in this series.

So Zaheer according to the Indian bowler coach is among the six best in the world but has been dropped from a pop-gun attack where statistically he was the worst bowler.

Obviously the five better than him are Ashwin, Ojha, Sharma, Dinda and Awana.

W00t... Jadeja is in! He would be a great option at 6... is a better bowl than yuvraj too... imo should have been in for yuvraj for the whole series.

Dropping Zaheer but retaining Ishant is just strange... on the one hand its ballsy but surely he's better than ****ing ishant. Bowling attack on paper looks dire without him

Looks like this could be Sachin's last match... damn... i will just not know how to react when that happens :(

Haha yeah Zaheer might be slow and old but really, if whoever they're bringing in couldn't get ahead of Ishant, then...
