Picking Saurav is a step back
by Sandip on Dec 29, 2005 05:53 AM

Waqar Younis says, "India needs to think like the Australian selection Committee". My dear Waqar, if Indian would be able to think like the Australians, than Australia would be number 2 and we would have been number 1. Also, I think putting Ganguly in a team is a lot beneficial to the Indian side. Consider the experienced Indian team and the not-so experienced Pakistani team. Indians with Tendulkar, Dravid, Ganguly, Sehwag, Kumble, Agarkar, Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh, and Zaheer Khan mark the calander of the experienced players and experienced youngsters in the team who all have played some astonishing Cricket against Pakistan. Pakistan just has Inzi, Mohd. Yusuf, Younis Khan, Afridi and Akhtar to back up the list of experiency. So, the question does not arise of Waqar telling "Ganguly selection was a set back". What India needs in Pakistan is some experienced players who can perform in any sort of pitches against any bowlers like Shoaib and Sami and are capable of scoring runs, getting wickets, and fielding well as well. I think India should put in all the experience "the reason why saurav is been selected" against the Pakistanis in the forthcoming series which will help.Thanks
