Nehra Out, Agarkar In

After going two ODI series (10 matches) without injury, the "great left-arm-king" of India is at it again. The handyman Agarkar has to fill in for him. No doubt, as soon as Nehra declares himself fit again, he will be given his place back on a platter, regardless of how the other bowlers perform. Agarkar has to take advantage of the situation and hope for the best. As the Bhagvad Geeta says:

"Karmanyevadhikaraste Ma Faleshu Kadacha Na"

Speaking of bowlers, I think Balaji and Kumble are the two that deserve to be in the starting lineup straight away. It should be left to the two remaining "left-arm-kings" and Ajit Agarkar to fight for the remaining two spots. On current form and given the history of Zimbabwe wickets Bhajji should not figure at all.

Yeah bhajji won't be in the starting lineup for sure. And agreed, Balaji is our most effective åcer in tests. Should be in starting lineup. Pathan and ZK other two?
