CA Chairman vs India

India all set for their first tour match tonight. Does anyone know why Zaheer isn't in the squad? I thought he was fit to fly?

Squad: MS Dhoni*†, V Sehwag, VR Aaron, R Ashwin, R Dravid, G Gambhir, V Kohli, VVS Laxman, A Mithun, PP Ojha, AM Rahane, WP Saha†, I Sharma, RG Sharma, SR Tendulkar, U Yadav


Probable team: Sehwag, Gambhir, Dravid, Tendulkar, Laxman, Kohli, Dhoni, Sharma, Ojha, Aaron & Yadav.

Zak needs to play the tour games...at least 10-15 overs in each game, nothing over-exerting. Hopefully he can find some rhythm, he'll be a handful for Aussie's left handers!

Praveen Kumar not in the squad either! Vinay Kumar as a replacement for Aaron is a very bad decision. Vinay has no pace and cannot swing it like PK! They should have picked Sreesanth over Vinay...or even Irfan who has experience down under!

very bad selection from the game. no dhoni, no sehwag, no zak, no ashwin. the players that needed the most practice have been rested. ie sehwag really needs some practice as he has failed in all his away tour this year, and same goes to dhoni. then zak is not bowling. It seems to me as if he is not fully fit and england is repeating itself here. Remember he didnt play any prac matches and then went straight to the first match and lasted 13 overs.

Zak must play the next game as must Dhoni and Sehwag! Who would you rather have as our frontline spinner; Ashwin or Ojha? I prefer Ojha but I think the bounce along with Ashwin's height might help him!

from what i know i think ashwin will get a nod. i pesonally prefer ojha as he is a really gd spinner. dont know whethe that will happen but ashwin will be hit around more often than not. remember ojha was very gd in england in the counties and the pitches there dont help. i know its just counties but still. about zak, dont really know wat to say. if he is fit then y cant he play now. he needs to bowl as many overs as possible before he gets his rythm back

now do people understand that running up and bowling your heart up is not the same as taking wickets? mithun and vinay are all horiible. the selectors made the biggest mistake as irfan wud have been so useful with his swing

India's bowling attack needs to be

Zak
Sharma
Yadav
Ojha

Although I do not see Zak and Sharma being fit for the entire tour.
