1. lara is 37., inzy 37 .. 2. fleming is 35 and has left ODI captaincy and will stay around for ODI squad, test captaincy and test squad. 3. vaughan is probably a worse imitation of VVS Laxman and shouldn't even be on the team (not that he lacks talent, but for his weak knee) 4. why should graeme smith go anywhere? 5. Mahela - is in his third year and had the best bowling attack (vaas, malinga, muthiah, fernando). still believe that sri lanka needs a power hitter in the middle order to finish good starts (someone in the mold of yuvraj or dhoni) 6. Ricky - he lucked it out. not that i am complaining, but guys., grow up and accept that the aussie cricket team is the most dominant team in the world of sports (incl outside cricket) and there are a dozen reason that i will leave out now .. 7. India: I will stick out my neck for our cricketers any day .. wanna knowm why? check my blog: http:chatrathikalyan.blogspot.com the only people that i am against are the inept BCCI. it is filled with people with minimal knowledge of cricket and have no business to run the sport.
