I nominate Abdul Razzaq to be the danger man for India in this series. Already, by top-scoring in the warmup game, he has proved that he is much more likely to give the Indian bowlers a headache than the inexperienced top order (Inzamam excepted). In fact, I was surprised he had such a poor series last season at home. I think he will be fully intent on making up for it. Though he hasn't ever troubled India in Test Match Cricket, he has played some destructive roles with both bat and ball in the shorter version. In one particular patch in 1999-2000, he had dismissed and outthought Tendulkar on quite a few occasions.

I second it! I have no doubt that he will play a major role.
