Author: kirankriSubject: India in EnglandPosted: 04 July 2011 at 9:29amThe Indian test squad has been announced.Gautam Gambhir (vice-capt), Virender Sehwag, Abhinav Mukund, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni (capt/wk), Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Harbhajan Singh, Amit Mishra, Zaheer Khan, Sreesanth, Munaf Patel, Ishant Sharma, Praveen Kumar Should be a fascinating series. Will surely be the last England tour for Dravid, Sachin and VVS. Dravid and VVS getting some runs in the ongoing WI tour is a good sign for the Indians. Raina or Yuvraj whoever plays at no.6 will struggle I feel (unless they come in to bat with score looking like 300/4). Swann v/s top 5 Indian batsman should be another interesting contest. Harbhajan may not do that well considering the fact, English batsmen gets to play a world class spinner Swann in the nets. Praveen kumar could be interesting. Though I don't rate him, he could be more than handful in English conditions. Actually going with 5 bowlers could be a better option for Indians considering that, both Raina and Yuvraj are not great test batsman. With possibly 4 right handers (Trott, Bell, Peiterson & Prior), Misra could be an interesting pick. Also Misra, Harbhajan, Praveen Kumar, Zaheer and Sharma can all contribute 15-20 runs with the bat.
