I hope all the people who wanted young team got their wish as this team is only fit to play Bangladesh not a world class team as Australia or Srilanka.
Somethings I dont understand: 1. Sewag is picked again even after not proving himself anywhere. Does not matter if he is only playing ODIs if you want him to improve drop him completely like Gangully was dropped.
2. The young team chosen is not the best team country has to offer. Teams should be based on performance and not because people of India say drop everyone BCCI drops everyone. Its not national elections.
3. Sachin Tendulkar why was he dropped? Who is going to replace him? Who? Why BCCI WHY?

Shantanu, Just in case you are not in touch of cricket, Sehwas was the top-scorer for india in the just concluded world cup. Please let me know if you know that or not.

Very true but Sehwag has not been consistant. I bet if you gave so many chances to one of the youngsters aswell he will one day be a top scorer. Nothing against Sewag but when you drop people like Sachin & Sourav it just makes me wonder why he was picked. Curious. BCCI tries to make every Indian team supporter happy. If you hear the speech given after selection it goes like " this dude from delhi this guy from rajasthan, this gentleman from tamil nadu" who gives a damn where they are from are they top performers?? It should not be about state it should be about talent. I never heard anyother board mentioning all the states players have come from.
After all this we wonder why we didnot have best team. Its becoming more like a Indian soap opera with people of India who have only played Galli cricket making BCCI make decisions to keep the public interested. What is this cricket or WWE where the site puts out polls and whichever sportsstar wins most polls becomes the next Champ.
