The least experienced Indian Test side has taken the field where the GOD is most experienced followed by Bhajan Singh and Virender Sehwag.
Awful selection of 6 batsmen makes a wicketkeeper in the side debut as a specialist batsman.
Actually Dhoni can field and Saha, the other Bengali since 1996 to make a Test debut (no since 2000) can keep.
So now there are 2 lame ducks in the middle order that makes the job of Gambhir, Sehwag, Dhoni and Tendulkar even more elephantine.
Dabri would not cross 10s or max 20s, Saha is unknown. So what beckons is scary. Why no Kohlis or Rainas ? Awful in atitude but they can bat. Dabri will cry foul over chances not offered, but when given would flop. So he is not a long prospect. Majboori ka naam Subbu Dabrinath.
21 years hence Tendulkar remains like angad's immovable feet while lesser mortals around him go and come. Thats the beauty of this MUMBAIKAR.
BTW Zaks continued the top form of BD here as well and grabbing his bunny Graeme Smith once again.
Actually he has taken last 7 wkts to fall playing against India. Awesome. He has moved past Srinath's tally of 236 wkts and is now country's 2nd most successful pacer. End of the series he should cross Chandra's 242 and then become 5th highest wicket taker for India.
Contrast this side to first BD test when the tests numbers read 28, 73, 137,161,108,35, X for first 7, now those stats read 30, 75,3,163, 0,0,42 for first 7. No Dravid, no Laxman. Unusual. Weird and fucking ridiculous.
