In his recent article in one of the websites, Sanjay Manjrekar wrote that India is not affected by Injuries and they have the bench strength. I would assume he meant only about the injury of one man against whom he has been all over in recent times. I am not saying if that player would have played, he would have rescued India, but I believe apart the skill that he has, he would have provided extra cushion for VVS and Saurav to play and also it would have meant a different kind of strategy for the opposition players, which could have created some comfort for India. I am not sure why India still persists with Sreesanth, I can't remember a good performance from him in recent times, India should have opened the bowling with Irfan. And Dhoni, does he plays according to the situation only in onedayers, where he is the captain? I hope the batsman come good in the second innings, and India save or rather don't loose this match, but this "test" tests the captiancy skills of Kumble.

Why does the Indian Team always have the same composition? Any player is entitled to have an off day. One can not be good consistently. It is human to err. Why do we not rotate players? Let us find out how the player that have never been selected do against good teams. There are only one or two players from the under 19 squad that won the World Cup in England who are now playing at the Senior Level. Why do we not give more players a chance?
