No surprises there I would say. They've kept faith in those who're proven performers.

I know India will win, I would love to watch this game, and I hope thet Bangladesh will shown they have improved,

Where is Yuvraj? He's been tossed out like an old shoe huh.

[Zainub]

He's deserved it to be honest. Personally I really don't think he fits into the Indian team as an opener, his technique is just not good enough, shot selection indecisive out side the off stump - can't see him making runs against the new ball away from India, even in India for that mater against top quality attacks at a consistent basis. Ghambir has scored a few runs against SA and commen sense has prevailed by giving him another go. It's only Bangladesh they'd be playing, but for a young man like him, he'd look forward to an opportunity to get some test runs and boast his average. In the middle order too I don't think he is the best option available. Mohammad Kaif has fared far better than him in recent times. And hence I agree with the decision to drop him.

~Hugs zainub~.Oh finally ive met someone who said that.~sheds tears of joys~All my life ive been saying that Yuvraj;given his present form isnt for test cricket ive been beaten with brickbats.NOT FAIR!Just bcuz hes good looking and a rage among the girls(me included) doesnt mean he deserves to play at the test match level.ofcourse;if he works on his temperament thtats a different story.Theres no denying that hes got talent.

[vvvrulz]

Haha rage among the ladies?

Yeah he definately isn't an opener, but a lower order batsman at least. He's made a couple of decent knocks down there.

Not that popular in Pakistan Yuvraj - when India come over Balaji was the one the girls were after. He went to LUMS (Lahore University of Mangament Sciences) and girls there couldn't stop shouting. He's very famous still.
