Finally Badrinath has got a place in the middle order for the tests against SA. The selectors are quite right in bringing in A. Mithun, the fast bowler from Karnataka. Mithun has been in good form this season, and it was because of his bowling, that Karnataka reached the Ranji Trophy finals. My only gross is why D.Karhick has been dropped and W.Saha has been bought in as a reserve keeper. This clearly shows the Zonal selection policy. Do you agree with me on this.

yes i also agree with you.
but karthik should have taken into the team.
i am very sad that kohli is not picked.he was in good form.
it would have been a good chance to prove his ability.

Yes I had forgotten about Virat Kohili. That boy should have also been given a chance.

Well it is good to select the young players like Badrinath,Mithun,Vijay,W.Saha.
Because if these players do their best and can replace the positions of some senior players.Of course,Rahul Dravid was out due to injury along with Yuvraj and sreeshant, so the new players will be in the team.Then after having retired from tests by seniors players,the place will be filled by the new players. So this is a good oppurtunity for the new players.the selection is however good.

I hope these players use the opportunity given to them, and be successful.

Yes. Zonal policy is an age old issue with Indian selectors. They always want to include someone from their zone. Or else they want to balance all the zones. In that exercise they slip and commit mistakes most of the time.
I expected Badrinath to be selected as he is a favorite of Krishnamachari Srikanth. He also plays ok. But whether he gets a chance in the final eleven has to be seen.
Mithun's selection might be good but like Sudeep Tyagi if he doesn't get to play enough is not going to help much.
I haven't seen the complete team for South Africa. Hope they have selected a balanced team.
Happy Mylotting!

I hope both Sudip Thyagi and Mithun get a chance. I think Badrinath will certainly come in place of Dravid, and Murali Vijay will stay in place of Yuvaraj.

I am happy with the selection of the Badrinath and Mithun but not happy with selection of W.Saha because D.karhick is much better then him I think he is dropped from team because of Dhoni.

I agree with you. Dhoni is becoming two big for his shoes, and he has become very arrogant. He was already a very arrogant man, and now after the success and India becoming number 1 in test cricket, his arrogance has gone to his head. Well the South Africans will teach him a good lesson.
