What a pathetic sight it was to see Karthik time and again fumble and miss catches/stumping chances. How long will Kumble's love for him will save him? Why isn't Parthiv donning the gloves- He is also a better bat.

Hi How do we know that parthiv will be better given the records so far proved karthik to be better...only if we give them a couple of chances we can decide that one is not doing well.this is 2nd test and so may be if karthik does not do well in 2nd innings as well team might decide for parthiv...

Chances? Karthik has had more than his share of chances. His basics in wicket-keeping is entirely faulty. He grabs the ball instead of letting the ball come to him. His keeping for the spinners is even worse- he doesn't stay low enough and tends to get up before time. That's why his misses catches off spinners.

Ram, Every community in India is clanish. Northies took it for granted that India is theirs and only they should represent everything in India. Other people specially Southies are just for token representation. After so many years some Tamilians are in cricket and if some spectator favours their kind it is only natural. Though I agree fully Kartik ia s failure and so is Uttappa. Yuvi has been a failure for a long time.
