India flatter to deceive yet again, the build up to the match in India was so over the top, told everyone I met on the streets I was South African here to watch the Test series, stopped the conversation dead after the first days play.....

Very poor top order batting effort in both innings by the Indians. Apart from Sehwag, Badrinath and Sachin(one innings each) there where 9 failures from the top 6. I'm not including Saha as I see him as a number 8.

With regard to Paul Harris, he was fortunate that Morkel removed Gambhir early in each innings. Otherwise he's tactic off bowling 10 ft outside leg would've been harder to execute.

India badly missed a left hander in the middle order as well. The procession of right handers made it easier for Harris. The absence of VVS Laxman was a big loss also. He's a master of playing against the spin (just ask Shane Warne!!!)

Harbhajan Singh is no longer a match winning spinner. He's lost his drift and dip. He's only in the side because of his record.

Giles nor Harris are great spinners, but have made the best of their very limited talents. If you want to be a great left arm spinner, look no futher then Bishan Bedi - the best of them all.

Thankfully India  has added some extra batting cover for the 2nd Test. Raina, a left hander, and Karthik.

I'm not making any excuses , India where mauled.

Karthik betted so well in the South v West Zone game but who would have thought Pathan could hit 200 to win it..... now there's a player who is in form and has some serious luck running for him.

I think I would have a heart attack if I saw Yusuf playing test cricket.. Irfan on the other hand, I can't say it enough time hes needs to be in all 3 formats of the game..

Plus the 5-6 times Yusuf was dropped might have something to do with that double ton..

Getting dropped is something Yusuf Pathan can't control. He gave the opposition the chances but they declined to take them.

With regards to Dinesh Karthik, he's all ways been a run machine in domestic first class cricket. In Test cricket, unless he's opening, he's been very poor. I don't see him opening the batting any time soon with Viru and Gambhir around.

For the 2nd Test I think M Vijay should be dropped for Laxman(he has to be fit!). Be all accounts, Eden Gardens will be a dust bowl and Laxman is the master of Eden Gardens. Laxman should bat at 3 and Raina should debut at 6. Raina will break up the endless amount of right handers India have at present.

I've got nothing against M Vijay, but he all ways gets starts, then gets out.

My side would be:
1. Gambhir
2. Sehwag
3. Laxman
4. Sachin
5. Badrinath
6. Raina (bowls useful offies)
7. Dhoni
8. Harbhajan (last chance and good record at Eden Gardens
9. Zaheer
10. Sreesanth/Ishant (both are rubbish atm, neither should be near Test side)
11. Ojha (Mishra's lack of commitment with the bat means he gets dropped).
