Do you guys agree?

Sehwag, Harbajan and Munaf are already axed for England tour, do you guys think so should've been Tendulkar despite the piles of runs he created against Bangla?

Sehwag needed a very solid kick up his butt and this exclusion might well turn out to be just that. Harbhajan Singh is a good bowler, but in the last 2 years or so, has occsionally appeared as though his mind is not on the game he is playing. Maybe he has some personal demons to exorcise and an enforced 'rest' might just be the opportinity. As for Patel, is dodgy back must be responsible.

Tendulkar has already overstayed his sell-by date. Having said that, I think it is OK to give him a chance at one last hurrah before hanging-up his gloves for good.

Is Irfan Pathan still injured? And has Lakshmipathy Balaji dissappeared from the cricket world altogehter? I see he's not even playing for his domestic side anymore....

and maybe Sehwag too.

As far as Tendulkar is concerned, I agree with Nostromo.

In my opinion Harbhajan has always been over-rated. Apart from one phenomenal series against Australia, he has not anything worthwhile. I doubt very much whether Sehwag has the ability to bounce back. He is reliant purely upon his instincts for speed and to play strokes, which is bound to slow with each passing year.

Tendulkar' case is interesting because I believe he can still offer a lot to Indian cricket provided he goes back to his natural attacking style. Otherwise, I see no point in selecting Tendulkar and see him scoring centuries against the likes of Bangladesh...
