This is a rubbish team, where are the openers, Sehwag has not proved himself after dropping. Jaffer and Karthik are doing a decent job. Yuvaraj has to wait because test and one dayers are different. A place in Indian team is not for giving rewards to some body or rehabilitating somebody. Team should be selected based on team's requirements. Many will argue that Yuvaraj is a better batsmen than jaffer and Karthik and I do fully agree but Yuvi is not a opener and we cannot accommodate in the middle order. The job of openers is to see off new ball and even if they dont score big does not matter.

Where did i say that Yuvraj should be sennd as an opener. Yuvraj had operformed well in both ODI and test matches.Jaffer and Karthick are o.k. for Indian pitches.They will be blown in Australia and for good score, good opening partnership is necessery. Even laxman was n't doing well in domestic matches this season.I don't think you understand the climatic conditions and pitches and have just started watching cricket by saying it's a rubbish team.Don't u remember over 400 runs partnership between Rahul and Sehwag Vs. Pakistan.

Jaffer Kartik OK for indian pitches???? FYI they both got their performances noticed in South Africa, England & WI(jaffer). Just roll back the performances of Test Batsmen of India in 2007 ------ Do u know who is the topscorer for the year...many wont beleive - its Dinesh Kartik and next is Sachin (Till the 1st Match against Pak Started)No one else in the top 10 test batters of the world for 2007. And one failure - you want to kick the openers. HAHAHAHA

Selected Team looks pretty solid and I agree with SUdhir's selection. Only thing is, the next generation test team members like Karthik, Jaffer also should be taken to Australia and be given chances to acclimitise ther and get some experience and be given a chance to prove themselves for the long term benefits.

but i luv to see his batting. after leaving captaincy, he is batting extremely well. moreover, right now kumble is doing good job. I want to see a test century and a odi century from ganguly..

It will happen in near future. I expect Ganguly to score a double century against Greg's countrymen and further succeseful innings.

sudhir, i appriciate your views. but be practical, ganguly never made double cnetury agnt any team. so it nearly impossible for him to make double century agnst australia. but i m hoping that ganguly will show some good show from bat as well from ball there, helping team to win.

He missed one against Srilanka in world cup.But It doesn't mean the things that hasn't happen can not happen.He still has the capability to surpass his best score.Isn't it? He is a great fighter.People have short memory.

Both Ganguly and MSD has the brain as well as aggression which is much needed against the Australlians
