Captain obvious Akashwani when was Malinga ever been effective against subcontinental players with lower grip also after retiring from tests he rarely bowls those in between lengths now more of a two trick pony.

Brett lee said the same a year before on using 2 new balls.

check out Malinga stats against subcontinental sides..the rot started long before the 2 new ball rule..Lee was still effective with the new rule..now abrasive surfaces are a rarity so reverse swing is less of a factor..spinners are the ones to be feel hard done by the new rule since they are mostly been reduced to containment.

Leaving Malinga stats out wizzy, Its no wonder Kohli's/Amlas have been raking runs after this degenerative rules in cricket. From red ball to whites and pink(s) in future??. Stats have become meaningless.

[wizzy]

two new ball is quite handful on helpful conditions as OZ found out in Eng odies..I wouldn't club Kohls with Amla or even ABdv..Amla/ABdv have proved their worth in tests..concur on Kohls being talked up to being ODI ATG already he hasn't even gone past the second season blues which has reduced many ATGs to mere mortals.

Team India for T20Is/ICC World T20- MSD(C)/Gauti/Viru/Raina/Virat/Yuvraj/Irfan/Ashwin/Zak/Balaji/Dinda/Rohit/Chawla/Bhajji, Manoj

Balaji gets a chance after a long time

[wizzy]

Chawla/Weed?? we are so screwed

[ajaybaskar]

Yuvi is back.

[wizzy]

@Satissh_r Balaji's selection looks more like Cheeka's parting shot.

So basically Pujara is assured of 6 tests against NZ and Eng :Time for Che Avatar: .
