Pankaj Singh the new discovery after 3 decades from Rajasthan

The state of Rajasthan produced many good cricketers at state level. But it is after a very long time some body from this state will be representing India. Parthasarathy Sharma was the last notable one who represented India. Ofourse there were players like the late Hanumanth Singh and Salim Durrani who also played for India in the 60's and 70's . All said and done a great discovery and I hope and pray to god that Pankaj shines down under with this thunderous bowling.

While the selection of the team was predictable the surprise choice of Sewhag was not expected. Keeping in mind Sewhag's earlier performance the board decided to take a safe route although Akash Chopra was in the squad. Sewhag should thank his stars and hope the coming year is good for him and India.

The series is going to be very competitive and tough and India has got a blend of youth and experience in this contingent. The wickets are going to be totally bouncy and custom made for the Aussie bowlers. The Kangaroos are just waiting for the Indians to arrive, to the Aussies this series is bigger than Ashes.
