Re: World Cup casualties
I guess, it was a fair decision by BCCI to use the terms as RESTED.
Saurav was scoring OK, ever since he returned in the team....so on what basis BCCI can say that he LOST his place? More over there is no better replacement in sight based on performance among our young generation of Cricketers, really at any given day any of our youngsters still can't match Sachin...also at least little respect he deserves for his services to be fair with him.
Term 'Rested' means a lot here.....if these new folks aren't able to perform in Bangladesh, Sachin, Saurav will be given back their place, since they are just rested not removed.
It also serves as a notice in a polite language that think about remaining Test career and plan retirement from ODI. So in a way BCCI avoided some sort of knee-jerk reaction by using RESTED word.:)
