My team for India…
*** Same *** or May be drop Bhajju to get some one. Bhajju cant do it with kokkbura. He should only play home-series with SG balls. No..I didnot meant SG as Saurav Ganguly. Damn.. we dont have any other spinner in team. Time to bring in Piyush Chawla.

Its about time to give Razzaq some batting practice coz Inzi and Malik are not yet confirmed to play....... let him come in next in the current match!!!
Re: Pakistan vs India 3rd Test Match @ Karachi Jan 29 - Feb 2 2006
I would like 1 change.
Harbhajan OUT <-> Ganguly IN
I have not developed a sudden fondness for Ganguly, but :
(1) There is no other middle-order batsman or spinner on the bench.
(2) Gangu deserves at least one chance since he has been selected for the tour. Also to help the selection committee make up their mind on whether he should be retained for the One-Dayers.
I dont think Harbhajan would be missed if dropped. Part-timers like Sehwag/Yuvraj/Tendulkar can take up the job.

WIth Inzi very doubtful and Rana half fit, India have a golden chance of taking away the series twice in a row in Pak.
I think we should definitely drop Malik and play Imran Farhat. Also, Razzaq should pave way for Rana, even if he is half fit. Let's get real, the way Rana is losing hair we don't have many overs left from him. Let's use him while he lasts.
I can see Sachin scoring a century in Karachi. It's about darn time.
Re: Pakistan vs India 3rd Test Match @ Karachi Jan 29 - Feb 2 2006
Yasir Hameed in for Malik, Hasan Raza in if Inzi isn't playing. Rana to replace Razzaq. Okay that might weaken the batting, but Razzaq hasn't done much with the bat anyway. And definitely keep Mohammad Sami out.
its the deciding test. anything can happen. Will Inzi Play?. Will bad form continue Salman Butt? Will Waqar be commentator ( i hope not). Will Dhoni ever look like a human being? Will Inzi say " boys doing well"
All will be revealed
Re: Pakistan vs India 3rd Test Match @ Karachi Jan 29 - Feb 2 2006
its abt time salman is dropped,he is not getting runs
there will be stiff competition btwn umar gul,sami n asif,it will be interesting to c who makes place in final 11
Re: Pakistan vs India 3rd Test Match @ Karachi Jan 29 - Feb 2 2006
Dropping Butt would be stupid. He has huge potential, scored against Aus and England, poor form is no need to abadon a good player. Besides, he is getting starts, just throwing it away in the 30's.
Re: Pakistan vs India 3rd Test Match @ Karachi Jan 29 - Feb 2 2006
Wow what a pressure cooker it will be in Karachi, with Pakistan having to bear the brunt of ALL of it. Injuries galore, missing captain, pitch problems, and the home team playing the last match against arch rivals with the series level. It doesn't get any worse than that.
If I was an Indian I would be licking my lips in anticipation on what will be the best chance India will have in clinching the series. The momentum is with India and the Pakistan camp will be quite panicky as Inzi and Malik have been ruled out.
Rana should be back at the expense of Asif (tough luck but experience is needed especially with Rana's swing in Karachi). Razzaq will unfortunately stay as our batting will be at its weakest. Farhat will open with Butt, and neither of them are exactly dependable. Faisal Iqbal another inexperienced newbie will have to step in the boots of Inzi. I am surprised why Hameed isn't in the squad, surely he would fare better than Iqbal who hasn't played international cricket in a while.
