Why are these two in form players out of the team. Irfan can bat and bowl and field, Munaf is useless in all three. Yuvraj is good bowler, batsman and fielder and may be better than kartik. Bring in these two India will do better.

I dont agree. Karthik should be given a chance and not be dropped only after one bad test. Yuvraj does not fit into the team as our middle order of Dravid, Tendulkar, Ganguly, VVS and Dhoni have all performed in this test. Where will you fit in Yuvi? No point in bringing in Yuvi just for the heck of it.
Irfan is a better fielder and a better batsman than Munaf.He has been more accurate than before and he can do better than 1 wicket in 2 innings. We need to groom Pathan into a good test class allrounder.We should play him in kolkata!

need Patahn in Australia. Don't forget the previous tour to australia. Played exceptionally well.
It is no need getting emotional only after one test and make changes. India should maintain the same eleven in the second and third tests also. This will give a good look before the Aus series regarding who is in form and who is not.

dravid is indispensible in australia, no doubt about it, even if he doesnt perform in pak series, even australians know that

Sudhindu Sen you have shown your typical regional mentality. I also agree that Dada has performed well. But other batsmen have also performed equally well. This is a team game man and not Bengal Vs Pak. This is why all people are after Bongs.

cool guy now suddenly all u idlis become indians...kuch din pehle you were thinking that ganguly was not from India only from bengal...right...sala idli MC

Idiot Sudhindu, you should be ashamed of yourself to speak like this. It is not only Ganguly who has performed.
As RP and Sree out for 2nd Test, I think Pathan should play in place of Munaf. And maybe Yuvraj in pace of Karthik. Yuvi in great form and a excellent fielder (Beware Yousuf!!!!). Should Play.
Kumble good captaincy. As a bowler knows whom to bowl and when. Good use of Ganguly as a bowler.

If the pitch is a dusty turner Pathan is ok.If it a little green and bouncy I will go for BOSE. He will know his home ground well and it will be a good time for him to make his debut!!

I think yuvraj should play instead of karthik and dravid should open with wasim followed by laxman, sachin, saurav and yuvraj

please dont include any other player from bengal team as if he take one wicket whole bengal will shout like taking 10 wickets its better to keep faith on Munaf

I agree Ranadeb Bose is a third class bowler. But still he was heigest wicket taker in last two domestic seasons on dead Indian wickets. It exposes socalled high standards (!!!) of batsmen and bowlers in socalled good cricket playing states of Inida. I think Zinda Hoon's objection is not bcoz of quality of bowling of Ranadeb Bose, but his ethnicity. And this very people lecture others on Patriotism and unity of India. These very people accuse white people of racism. Indians are biggest racists on earth.

Hello Mr.Zindaa hoon on!!!! Munaf was bowling at 125 kmph today morning.He was going at 4.00 and over and he was just putting it there!! At the age of 24 he bowled like a 42 year old.Pathan has touched 135 in the ODIs.He has a decet record against the pakees.He is better bat and a better fielder than Munaf.You still want Munaf??? What was his contribution in this test??

Go for BOSE or Pathan Please drop Munaf Patel! I am not a bong and I want India to win!!!who ever plays in the final 11!!!
Now read carefully India was not able to reach second round of world cup jut coz of our loving DADA he always play for him self and stats... he is responsible for series defeat against india this pak team is very weak thats y he is able to face shoaib's short ball coz nothing in wicket lets go him australia it will be end if his carrer so i request BCCI please throw him back in Bengal

first u should be kicked off from this discussion board since u r targeting a particular player.....may be just bcos he is from bengal....when team needs the most....he has performed well...still u criticise...he is not only india's most successful captain but also one off alltime succesful world class player with more than 15000 international(ODI Test) runs under his belt...he has nothing to prove any more...

you know what r u talking about you abandoned orphan!!!! its becoz of this DADA that India stands in the brink of victory....just another wicket inside 100 runs and your favourite batsmen would have been found sipping tea in the dressing room.
