I feel selection of Ganguly ahead of Badrinath is a regressive step. I think media pressure had contributed to Ganguly’s selection. Selectors should not have give into media pressure. Appointment of Laxman as vice-captain for test series is surprising, but not a bad move. I think it is a warning signal to Shewag. I hope Rahul will be fit in time for the first test. Our test team is a well-balanced one.
In first place, Gambhir and Laxman should have been in the one-day squad ahead of Jaffer and Raina. Also Rohit Sharma should have been tried in place of Dinesh Mongia. Agreed Laxman is not a good fielder and his running between wickets is not good, but we had three weak batsmen in Raina, Mongia, and Kaif. Because of untimely injury to Yuvraj, we have to keep Kaif in the squad. Jaffer is a good test player but not suited to one-day variety.
I am glad that selectors have understood the situation well and dropped Raina, Mongia and Kaif for the test team. I hope they will be discarded for future one-dayers too unless they improve and show consistency.
