A very well balanced team. Was expecting Dada's name . Though im a Uthappa supporter im not sure he will be picked on regular basis with his recent form ( I aint talking abt IPL) . The foll. 12 seem to be the best combination IMO.

Why Suresh Raina and no Venugopal.

He had good IPL and should have been given the chance.
He may still have a chance as Rohit is injured and may not able to recover by then.

I would have preferred Gony/Dinda/Yomi instead of Sreesanth. But the selectors have thought otherwise.

And I would have either of them in instead of RP Singh. The selectors didn't listen to me either

So if I park my car in Office & make a post about waterlogged streets that I'd just driven through, I should be posting it in "The Indian Car Scene" (since I just drove my car through the streets) & not "Shifting Gears" or "Street Experiences"?

LOL, what next
