Mohan,

Most probably Dravid will partner Jaffer because selectors want to see id Kaif can bat well against Ishant, Nehra and co.

Secondly the decision to drop Ganguly can’t be long overdue because in March-April he had made a fighting 87 in a match where none of the other Indians batsmen clicked on a green track in Ahmadabad against SAf quicks and again made a match winning 87 in the final test on a minefield of a track where no other batsman from either side could score big.

Failure in Lanka has been his first complete failure in a series.

In Australia’s camp, Hayden and Ponting are recovering quite fast and are supposed to be fully fit ahead of this important series. And Katich, who might be named as a replacement for Symonds (in case he doesn’t tour), has been an old India basher!

All the bowlers from Australia will play their first test here, yet they are more likely to succeed than Indian seamers on these tracks!

I guess the name of Party Patel is something of a red rag. He thoroughly offends my-ahem-wicket keeping sensibilities-so much so that I did not read the article before I commented!

Anyway, I am happy that my other preferences-Saha and Karthik-get to play elsewhere.

Soundar, I did not say that I agree with the choice of Parthiv Patel! But that is the team that the selectors have selected; a team without an opener to partner Jaffer other than Parthiv Patel!!

Sorry, hit enter too early!

“”Up to the stumps Patel’s was the worst display I’ve seen by a Test keeper, but standing back, which is easier, Jones was as bad as Patel.”

“the only wicketkeeping performance that had riled him more was that of India’s Parthiv Patel against Australia last year.”

Nothing has changed in the intervening three years. His most recent outing for the A team was as bad as any of his vintage performances. A Missed stumping and poor collection.

How did he ever get in as a sixteen year old anyway? Did his businessman dad do a successful Abhijit Kale?
