He was undoubtedly one of the best wicket keepers of Indian side. It is tragic that a brilliant career was nipped in the bud due to peronal tragedies. If SADA had continued in the same form , then Mr KIRAN MORE would be a forgotten story. Iam sure GANGULY would have been a happier man

Stumbled upon this blog while googling Raman Lamba. A big omission from this list, one who could qualify as “had the potential” is one Mr Vinod Kambli. 3 double centuries before he turned 24 and yet nothing to drive home about his career. Just a shame that he couldnt do justice to his talent!

Here’s another cutoff I have had in mind for years. The Sharmas. Most qualify for this list:

Chetan Sharma
Ajay Sharma
Sanjeev Sharma
Gopal Sharma
Yashpal Sharma
Parthasarthy Sharma
Madan Lal Sharma
Joginder Sharma
Keerti Azad Sharma -well, an honorary Sharma ;)

T. E. Srinivasan, Arun Lal, Sujith Somasunder, Sadagopan Ramesh, VVS Laxman (captain), Amay Khurasiya, S. Sriram, Deep Dasgupta, Ajay Ratra, Sadanand Vishwanath, Parthiv Patel, Reetinder Singh Sodhi, Vijay Bharadwaj, Jacob Martin, Sanjay Bangar, Harvinder Singh, Salil Ankola, Vivek Razdan, Ashish Kapoor, Rahul Sanghvi.

There are 20 in this team!

The controversial inclusion is that of Laxman as captain! He is a talent that has been wasted several times over, in my view. Sadanand Vishwanath is possibly another controversial choice!

Also, this team has as many as 4 wicketkeepers (Vishwanath, DropGupta, Party and Ratra)! Mind you, that’s after I had to cull the likes of Vijay Dahiya and Sameer Dighe who were not even good enough to make the frustrations-list!

I presume most would know the “politiking local & regional” in the selection of the Indian side.

Some players got the wrong end of the stick and could not make it to the side ; or did not know how to suck up to the big guys. Even Dilip was protected by Sunil Gavasakar for a long time.

Even in this side, it looks like Sehwag, Pathan are political selections.

Dravid definitely screwed up big time by selecting Shewag and Munaf for the Final test at South Africa.

What? No Sujith Somasunder?
