R Mohan believes Ajit Agarkar is past his sell date in Test cricket and suggests alternatives.
The cynics believe that he is the highest paid Test under-achiever in the Indian firmament. ...The law of declining returns has caught up with him, much as it catches up with ageing sportsmen, most particularly with fast bowlers who lose the nip. To believe he can use the red ball to help Team India win matches is to believe in miracles. With the white ball that moves a lot more, Agarkar has his uses. To see him continue in the Test arena raises the question of whether the nation has any pace bowlers of caliber at all.
