Praveen Kumar dropped from Tests!?! (and also Harbhajan)

First topic message reminder :

I just can't understand the logic behind dropping the only bowler who impressed in England in favor of a couple of rookies, no matter how much potential they have. On the positive front, Harbhajan has been dropped and Ashwin and Ojha seem to be competing over his spot.

India Squad:

M S Dhoni (capt & wk)
Gautam Gambhir
Virender Sehwag
Rahul Dravid
Sachin Tendulkar
VVS Laxman
Yuvraj Singh
R Ashwin
Pragyan Ojha
Ishant Sharma
Umesh Yadav
Virat Kohli
Varun Aaron
Ajinkya Rahane
Rahul Sharma

well Kohli and Rahane have shown to have a more organized technique than Raina who went more and more in a tangle as the series in Eng progressed to spin also....so he needs to go and sort his game out.
He is not out for good....him and Rohit will be in the scheme of things.

srikkanth did say that he needs to prove himself in Ranji.
He is no longer a for granted.

Now ashwin has to bowl horribly and Bhajji has to bowl superbly in Ranji to make a come back.
Remember Ranji standars in super leagye where he plays for Punjab are good

in all honesty, i think its the end of Harbajhan's international career, he has been poor for a very long tim now.

thought Jadeja might have got a go to be honest. Also Dhoni could of have had a rest, after a punishing schdeule, and patel could have took the gloves.

Trivial Point: Harbhajan Singh was the youngest bowler to reach 300 Test wickets. Oh how the mighty have fallen!

its good that they have finally dropped Harbajhan, but got it wrong, dropping praveen kumar..

and beofre anyone says it, there is nowhere that says praveen is only being rested.
