Missing the stumps and the point... but only just

Spare the selectors. Or maybe not

Bang on the point mate! Bhajji cannot be dropped from a test squad for a rookie like Rahul Sharma. No disrespect but if Rahul has to come in, he must perform in a domestic season consitently first... I am not saying bring bhajji in the playing 11 ahead of Ojha and Ashwin given bhajji's poor form but definitely a better reserve than Rahul Sharma as for now. Srikant & Co. definitely messed it up. And yes totally cant understand why Dhoni isnt rested. The other wicket keepers would get a opportunity and Dhoni would get a well deserved rest.
