wow. not a follower of cricket. and half the team is stranger to me today

Harbhajan's call is not at all wise, clearly he's totally ineffective these days and only for containing the batsmen is not why you should be playing test cricket.The only reason why the selectors would have selected is that he takes the Aussies on and always gets involved in some kinda "gate" incidents and also aggressive in nature.Good luck with that.

All of them have international appearances to their credit.

I would have liked to see Wasim Jaffer, not sure if he will get a chance as he is about to reach 35. Two centuries against an attack consisting of Harbhjan, Ojha, Sreesanth, Mithun is just simply not enough...

I'm bloody happy that Gambhir is dropped! That should be as is, for the entire series. ^ I thought Jaffer scored 80 in the first innings? And also surprised that Dinda is in the squad. Not selecting Sree or Dhawal?

My bad, yeah he scored an 80. I was recalling the Ranji Final I think. Here, it was Sachin with the century.

Friend on FB : Rohit should have been selected, as he is already showing signs of improving day by day. Dont believe me? check out his scores in Irani Trophy, after scoring a duck in the 1st innings, you could see a vast improvement as he scored 1.

Australia in India 2012-13 : 'I'm still good enough to play for India' - Harbhajan Singh | Cricket News | India v Australia | ESPN Cricinfo

"I think I have been working really hard on my game, and just being there, trying to give everything I have, it's a new day and a new opportunity for me, that's all I kept telling myself. I'm still good enough to play for India and that's the reason I was playing cricket."
