Re: Pakistan v/s India 1st Test @ Lahore 13 - 17 jan 06
I consider Agarkar a half-bowler and Ganguly a half-batsman (esp to the strong pace attack Pak has).
Looking at the make up of the team, it just looks like a desperate attempt to somehow include Ganguly even if it came at the cost of a regular opener.
My side would have been :
Agarkar out <=> Zaheer in
Ganguly out <=> Waseem Jaffer/Parthiv Patel in
(yes I think Patel would score more runs than Ganguly as an opener)
This way you have 11 “full” players unlike the team now which includes 2 “half” players…
