Unrelated to the thread...but How I wish India's "intelligent" selectors had picked a team for this tour that had :

-A spinner-allrounder (eg Rajesh Powar) instead of Parthiv Patel (Would have been ideal to replace Harbhajan) -Another specialist batsman(e.g Hemang Badani/Dinesh Mongia etc) in place of Ganguly -Another pacer (eg Balaji) in place of Agarkar

I still don't see the logic behind Parthiv Patel's selection. He only used up a place. Even if Dhoni was injured...how long would it take for another keeper to fly out from across the border.

Also (but for this I don't blame the selectors) - it is funny that before the tour there was so much discussion on whether Jaffer or Gambhir would open the batting....now both will probably go back without getting a look-in.

Parthiv Decision was totally idiotic. Kiran More ko mera Salam. This idiot has goofed up so many times.
First of all there is no need to carry 2nd WK for a series in pakistan. And If it was needed it should have been Karthik. But then More had to do something for his zone.
