Can Dravid be used as a keeper considering he has never kept in a test match?

Good point. Someone brought this up a while back and I'm not sure why I've listed him as a 'keeper anyway.

Besides, his rating is very low.

His rating might be very low, but it means that India can play an extra batsman as Dravid's batting would make up for his poor keeping. IMO India are advantaged because they don't have to make room for a specialist keeper (or at least a keeper who has consistently kept in tests) who's average may not be as good as a regular batsman.

Australia have the same thing with Langer who has never kept in a test match.

But Australia would never drop Gilchrist. Besides, India is dead last in the standings, so surely it hasn't been a huge benefit. That said, it will be addressed.

Sorry to be a pain, but you must also name a 15 man touring squad, as you are currently in South Africa.

By the way, prepare for a few draws.

Neil usually plays 11 batsmen. ;)
