Laxman''s failure''s my friend? Apart from the great man himself [Sachin], Dravid and Yuvraj do enlighten me any other specialist Batsman who has met with success in atleast 5 matches of the almost 55-60 ODI''s that we have played since 2005?
Kumble bowls a little quicker in the air and the pace can go against him?? Well, just to refresh your memory, Kumble has been around the International Circuit for almost 2 decades now and has always been quick through the air - its his forte and one which has earned him wickets by the dollops all over the cricketing world.
By all means chop, change & experiment but not in do or die encounters with serious opponents which may severally dent the confidence of not just the Team but also an individual if they / he fails continously.

I believe we have seen enough of Laxman and his failures against teams other than Australia. Even against Australia in the 2003 series in India he failed badly including the finals.
The same goes for Zaheer. He bowled poorly in Pakistan when we toured last. He was no better than R.P.Singh and Pathan in the Karachi test and has the tendency to get injured every time he plays international cricket.
Kumble....may be. But even he went for runs last time he played last on Indian pitches. He bowls a little quicker in the air and his pace can go against him.
Ganguly.....well he has to perform in the domestic circuit. One can''t say that he will play only when he is picked for the national team. He has already been given an extended run. The last year and a half of his career was pathetic.
The thing is that if you play the same team people complain that we don''t have bench strength and if play new faces only for a short period people say there is too much of chopping and changing and finally if we give them a decent run then people say that experience is better. It is difficult to make everyone happy.

Dravid said “Playars must perform”.
Times of India on 28th published the averages of our top batsmen for their past 10 matches:
Name – Total run - Average
Dravid - 134 – 14.89
Raina - 153 – 17.00
Dhoni - 196 - 21.78
Sehwag – 269 – 29.90
Ganguly also in the same boat in 2005, when he played 13 matches, scored 209 with 17.9 average (looks better than Dravid & Raina – isn’t it). In 2004 Ganguli played 31 matches scored 947 runs average is 32.66. In 2006 so far, Sehwag’s avg is 27.5 in 19 matches, Kaif’s 20.31 in 16 matches, Raina’s 30.19 in 20 matches, Dravid’s 34.17 in 24 matches.
Wow! Only Ganguly has to perform to be included but for other it is ok! I think Ganguly, Zahir and Anil are very much needed in our team for today and until WC.
Dravid looks insipid in the middle – did you guys observed him when WI was 91-1 in last match, where is his aggression? where is his “scheme of thoughts” and all those “calculated strategies” – we have very familiar with these kind of management “golis” by now from him. Today we may win, only if Australia makes lots of mistakes but not for our so called performance or strategies

ONLY SOURAV NEEDS TO PERFORM AND REST CAN BE PICKED WITH REPEATED FAILURE AND ONLY SOURAV NEED TO PERFORM AND REST CAN JUST BE IN TEAM NO MATTER WHAT. I AM SORRY MY VINAY SELECTING A TEAM NEEDS TO BE FAIR WHERE SOME PLAYERS KEEP ON GIVEN CHANCES AS LONG THE NAME IS NOT SOURAV GANGULY. AM I RIGHT OR WRONG? AND PLEASE CUT THE CRAB PERFORMANCE NEEDS TO BE MEASURED IN SAME SCALE AND NOT 2 DIFFERENT SCALE, ONE FOR SC GANGULY AND ONE FOR REST OF THE PLAYERS. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE IND V/S AUS MATCH WE GOT NICE KICKING ON THE BACK SIDE AND WE ARE OUT OF CT.
