Team India Take On Team India II & lose!

I am dismayed at the turn of events in Indian cricket. We have in Dravid an acting captain (Chappel is the one who takes decision). The team that Saurav built is in tatters, people have also stopped calling it the most powerful batting line up, how can India batting be strong when you don't have Laxman & Saurav in the eleven?

Please let someone point out to Dravid, how many matches his team's fielding has won? Can fielding score as many as Laxman? Is there a more better slip catcher than Laxman in the side?

Chappel has recipe for disaster, he has finished off Irfan Pathan, Virendra Sehwag is no where near his confidence as before. Yuvraj is good but he will never be a great like Laxman/ Ganguly/ Tendulkar...Kaif is not looking part of the team. Dhoni's style has changed...for the worst. RP Singh is pedestrian, and Sreesanth is too inexperienced. Raina is also not in the same league as great players waiting in the wings discarded by team management. I am flummoxed why Zaheer Khan is out!

What has been Rahul's achievement? Answer is simple 1) He got rid of Prince of Kolkata 2) he has decimated a unit called team India...and to think they talk about preparing for world cup!

Let me throw a challange to Dravid & Chappel... first beat this eleven in a match ODI/ Test, then think of packing bags for the world cup.

1) Shikhar Dhawan
2)Wasim Jaffer
3)Robin Utthapa
4)VVS Laxman
5)Sourav Ganguly
6)JP Yadav
7)Dinesh kartik
8)Murli Kartik
9)Kumble
10)Balaji
11)Zaheer Khan

However dear friends you guys won't have to wait long, team India plays Team India A & B. Any guesses who will win the challanger...ha ha, i can hear you guys telling me at least who won't.
