it is funny why the selection commitee had ishanth in when there is a senior bowler who is trying hard even not in the squad. when it comes to international level no one should given rest until they are not performing. selection commitee should have a policy to players either to perform or perish. already ishanth made lot of money and now the commitee is helping him to make more, there is lot of politics playing in cricket instead of 11 players. The surprise selection was of Ishant, who has not delivered in the recent past. His record in the longest format isnt inspiring, the Delhi bowler having taken 144 wickets in 51 games at 37.99. He has not taken more than three wickets in an innings since July 2011. Ishant Sharma gets rewarded for non performance yet again ... Strange selection that, tweeted former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar. Ishant Sharma 21 wickets in last 13 tests at an average of 58 runs per wicket, he added. I did not understand what selectors are doing? A bowler like Zaheer Khan not selected ahead of Ishant Sharma????? At least selectors should have test Zaheers ability in this home series against WI ahead of gruelling 8 month forthcoming foreign tours to SA, NZ and England. Zaheer is the master of reverse swing. Jimmy Anderson reveals that he learned the art of reverse swing from Zaheer Khan. But I am sad that these selectors are not understanding it. ZAHEER should be there in the test squad and infact for the world cup 2015. Remember he won the previous world cup for us with his bowling.
