The Indian team management would be in a confused state when they sit to annouce the final 11 for first Test against Pakistan beginning on 13th January at Lahore. It would be difficult to left out either Gambhir or Wasim Jaffer as both of them had come relatively good in the opening 3-day match against Pakistan'A' . It is very difficult to left out Gautam Gambhir has he had not been given enough chances to prove his talent , considering the fact he has hardly played over 15 matches for India.
Instead of trying out Wasim Jaffer as an opener in the place of Gautam Gambhir ,It is good to try out somebody like Experienced Rahul Dravid as opener ,and sending a guy like VVS Laxman at no:3 may provide rich dividends for India.And at the same time we may get a experienced guy like Saurav Ganguly batting down the order and also a flamboyant and in-form batsman like Yuvraj singh batting in the middleorder may provide as a better option against the Pakistan attack rather going with the regular opener along with Virender Sehwag.
In addition to this Dhoni and Pathan lower down the order makes India a formidable batting side ,when compared with Pakistan.
The real worry for Greg Chappell would be whether to go with 3-pronged pace attack or with two fast bowlers and two spinners. Though Agit Agarkar bowled very well in the recent test series against Sri Lanka ,He is not in best of form.If Chappell and Rahul Dravid decide to go with Irfan Pathan and Zaheer Khan , It robs the Indian attack of the variety that a left hand and right hand bowling combination would bring in .It is very difficult for team management and the coach Greg Chappell to left out the two spinners as they could be match winners in their own right.It is best to go with Agit Agarkar and Irfan Pathan as new bowlers along with Harbhajan singh and Anil kumble rather than any other bowling combination.I wish that the Indian team management would pick the best 11 for the First test against Pakistan and wish them for suceess in the upcoming series against our arch arrivals.
