Gambhir and Sehwag will make the difference...?

Gambhir lbw Willey (who?) 18
Sehwag lbw Burton ( err?) 8



Mukunds on 41...where does that leave Indian selection if he gets a big score?

Yeah I was about to make the same thread! Between the two wicket takers they have played 19 first-class matches

And 14 of them have came from David Willey, haven't heard of the other lad

The Indian Batsmen had better enjoy this interlude while they can. Because next Wednesday its back to the same old, same old, where, with or without Sehwag and the rest of the crew India, continue the process of being publicly di-sected by an England team hungry for the Number one spot. I can't wait, wonder if they can?

Im not going to get ahead of myself by predicting a whitewash for england in this series or just assuming they will roll England over ...but this must raise a question about Sehwags readiness.
He has played less first class/test cricket this year than Burton!

Mukunds building a good innings now by the looks of it.

Mukund reaches 100, this could cause a significant selection dilemna for India for the next Test, although I think Gambhir and Sehwag will play if they are fit enough.

Dhoni out for 2, seems like he won't be using this match to get back into form..

Will they bring Mukund down the order in place of Raina? Him keeping Sehwag or Gambhir out if they are available is out of the question, but will they think of Mukund at 6 in place of Raina?

I think they'll stick with Raina before this series he was there form player deserves a place and another chance. Mukund I feel will be left out a dilemma for the selectors though.

Sehwag rarely plays well in warm up games or even 1st Class games. Sehwag in Test mode is a different beast, as his record suggests.
