just 1 question. do v need batsman like jaffer who r fit for only dead pitches, do v need him just bcoz he scores once on the batting paradise n cement his place in the team n gets exposed batting technique like a hole in the mint like in ausi tour matches.
just ignore jaffer n not merely him but all such players.
even if he scores 400 runs on dead wkts like kanpur (as per the experts, kanpur wkt is the one of dead wkts like recent chennai wkt),
just remove him. v need good players who can play on any kind of pitches.

Yes, Jaffer generally makes merry on dead pitches. He is being given long enough ride now so that he can't complain later.
But the problem is, India has been looking for good openers since Sunil Gavaskar's days! And we haven't found one yet, who could consistently play long innings.

even akash chopra has been good n in the best form. he has the technique to perform even on ausi tracks. v ignore them. in fact, even parthiv patel has been good in the opening position n he also has the record of performing against the best bolrs even in ausi conditions.
