Jaffer is not performing at all on any good pitch. He has been a total flop since the Ausi tour, but persisted with due to his so-called success on the dead pitches and India is paying price for his selection in the team.
This is injustice to other good performers. What wrong Akash Chopra has done, who has been in good nick in this season.
Even Parthiv Patel has been getting runs in opening position scoring 6 consecutive centuries agreegating more than 1500 runs against all the quality opponents like SA -A teams that also on their SA pitches. scoring against Ranji champ in Irani trophy. Parthiv can be tried purely as regular batsman bonus is he is better and improved keeper nowadays than Dhoni.
