Selectors Strike

I predict India will lose the ODI series 5-1 if not 6-0. That is truly what they deserve. Not only is an irrational and woefully out-of-form Ganguly still captain, but the selectors have refused to be shy the second time after being bitten once. They have been bitten again. I think after the World Cup 2003 and the VB Series 2004, there was one issue that was discussed over and over again and probably should have been made a law. The gist of it is:

Mongia over Laxman ?? Never again.


Unfortunately the selectors have not followed it. Also Ganguly's favourite blue-eyed boy Nehra finds a place over Ajit Agarkar the man who has taken more than 4 timees the number of wickets at a much better average and the legend Anil Kumble has to sit out at the expense of Murali Karthik.

I think resting kumble is a wise decision...when things dont work you got to try new things out...let kumble be reserved for the death matches...thats what the aussies do...we don't want to see him exhausted or injured in some decider.

I think Kumble's ODI career is over. And being a gr8 big admirer of his I wish he takes voluntary reirement instead of waiting to me metted with such treatment by the selectors.
