I think Sachin has finally used his brains. He never was a good captain and that was proven in his two stints. It is now very simple issue as we all can safely guess more or less what the final eleven will be in the 1st Test.
I put my reasons for not giving them the captaincy Gambhir - No - too raw as yet Jaffer - No - not sure of his place as yet Dravid - No - as he doesnt want it Tendulkar - No - same he doesnt want it either Ganguly - No - Once bitten never again Laxman - No - not 100% sure of his place Dhoni - No - need to groom him into the job. Kumble - No - let him concentrate on 600 Wkts Harbhajan - No - too immature and foolish Sreesant - No - same reason as Harbhajan Zaheer - Yes - now this is my man.
On his comeback trail, he has his performance that speaks volume. He is now more matured and well liked and respected by his team-mates. He is our frontline and most potent bowler. Also at this stage I think the Selectors rather trying to bell the cat annd throwing Captaincy around which seems like stale piece of samosa that nobody wants. Give it to this man who has been relentless and tireless workhorse. I feel when you can identify one natural born leader in your team (now pls lets not talk about going back to Ganguly) it is best to entrust the job to a Bowler. A captain is most pro-active when team is fielding and who better is in know of things than a good bowler. Zaheer Khan - 50 Tests already under the belt and best reward he can get.
