Having selected Murali Karthik for the first two tests, what's the wisdom behind dropping him and playing Sehwag in his place? Now that we have a keeper who himself is an excellent bat, isn't it time we revert back to playing 5 specialist bowlers? Won't dropping Murali Karthik time and again, spoil his confidence? I'm sure, he may be even left out of the final 11 and dumped after the second test. There's a lobby working strongly for the return of Sehwag in all forms of cricket. This is just another attempt in that direction.
In the 11 spots available, there's only one (Robin Uthappa) player from south India. What the hell the south zone selector is doing? Wake up man! You're representing the case of more than 50 players vying for a spot in the national team. I'd advise the likes of Badrinath, Yo Mahesh, Venugopal Rao to join ICL and make themselves richer atleast. We'll sure watch you playing in ICL league as all we want is only entertainment; no matter, who offers it.

It is that sleepy guy Venkatapathy Raju.I agree he has abdicated his role.I think he has been overpowered by Vengy by giving Arjun Yadav a slot in the Challenger series.

I don't agree with you. Regionalism and zonism has no place Sehwag was played based on the match condition.

bet, Dinesh, Murali Kathik and VVS won't get to play all the matches in the series. One more insult at the hands of these bunch of jokers who claim themselves to be selectors, I'd wish they all join ICL en masse... ICL is sure to become a big hit atleast in this part of India.
