    nice way to advertise tough ;)

    ya one more interesting news, rohit shama will be with team during the match as VVS is not so fit and if anything goes wrong, rohit will replace him!:eek:
    same OLD BCCI hiding the injuries of players!:mad:

    I think it is a perfect replacement for VVS because Rohit is in superb form with a triple ton and He has performing well in all forms of the game in the recent past...Good move By the selectors

    agreed!
    even facts say that dhoni too is not so fine and having some back problems and yet he is playing without a proper replacement. we would need 3 more players if dhoni got injured as he singly manages 3 difficult tasks :
    1. he is an excellent and reliable batsman
    2. just awesome wicketkeeper
    3. luckiest captain we ever had!

    I think selectors have give chance to D.Kartik in the test,he is also a good player.

    Did anyone following Duleep Trophy final? Yusuf Pathan also almost close to score century in second innings too. So we have two batsmen from same match scoring century in both innings but they are not in team.:p

    It is :D

    But I also have a huge love for India (my family originates from there), support my national team over the country I reside in any day :)

    I remember watching VVS at Lancashire a lot, he was pure class, hard to see him not in a test team :eek:

    Not just them, I have seen umpteen number of cases where players when not selected in the national team, go on to play their best in the domestic game!

    It is their exclusion which at times motivates people to give out their best! :)

    I don't know why they select Saha as keeper and drop karthik :confused:

    South Africa won the toss and choose to Bat first.

    It was really very heartening to see Zaheer send back both the SA openers for 0 and 6 in successive overs!
    The start is ominous... hopefully it is an indication of things to come! :D :)

    Well I am very much disappointed with the final 11...From where has this wridiman saha has come to final 11....He is a good T20 player and where have Pujara, Rohit Sharma, Abhishek Nayar , Wasim Jaffer gone....Really Itz becoming weird now a days with the selection of the team....
