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, just remove him. v need good players who can play on any kind of pitches.

Very well said...Jaffer failed 5 out of 6 times in SA and 6 out of 6 times in Australia..
Which means if you take out his hundred in Newlands Capetown 2006, he has had 11 failures out of 12 innings on lively pitches..
He needs to go and we need to either put Akash Chopra/Gambhir at the top or groom Kaif for openers job!!

good choice. even parthiv patel is much better choice as opener. chopra n parthiv r proven performers. n gambhir has to extend his success in tti n odi to test level.
