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

Could be, Gambhir must be backing him now

It is a good selection. Much better than giving chances to people like Vijay, Badri, karthik etc.

Why no praveen kumar or Ashok Dinda for tests? Suresh Raina of all people is back in the test squad. It is for good that Srikanth is getting replaced.

ye..tide seems seems to be turning in favour of Bengal/KKR..worrying signs

Why no praveen kumar or Ashok Dinda for tests? Suresh Raina of all people is back in the test squad

PK isn't the same after his tennis elbow injury and Dinda doesn't seem to move the ball nor does he have any pace to trouble batsman in tests..
CSK Raina's continued test selection is unfair on other test hopefuls..he avgs 43 against domestic trundlers

ennadhu Raina for testsA? Raina can go play football instead - his fan git_clove will watch. Nonsense Cheeka - Balajikku kaN ketta poRavu soorya namaskAram thEvaiyA? idhai vechu TN getting unfair chancesnu oodhi oodhiYE innum 20 varushathukku deserving TN candidates select AgAma paNNiduvANga.

When you are going through a good patch, you tend to ignore certain things. It could be your sleeping habits, it could be waking up at 6AM and going for a jog, it could be a gym session. You think you know you have to do all these things. But when you come out of the team, when you get injured, you are not doing that well and you realise that these are things I am missing

I played Ranji Trophy games but did not get too many wickets. I lead Punjab well in the shorter formats. But that was not just enough

thirundhittAn! Blaming himself for a change. This sounds good for India fans. Ah, now England will find it tough in the India tour

"I have lost the lens, iris and pupil in my left eye. There was severe damage to my retina. I have had two major operations and four blood draining operations in the past three weeks and physically, at times, I have been in a lot of pain," Mark Boucher said at his first press conference since the incident, at Newlands.

"It does get uncomfortable at times and being a sportsman, I want to be active and outdoors but, without a pupil, I find any amount of sunlight very harsh and have thus been restricted to the confines of my home. It is unlikely that I will play any professional cricket again in the near future, which is very unfortunate as I was looking forward to contributing as a player for the Cobras. The risk of additional damage to my left eye or even damage to the other eye, doesn't warrant it."

"I don't want people to feel sorry for me. Injuries happen and this could have happened earlier on in my career. I am incredibly grateful for the length of career that I have had and the amazing things I have experienced and people I have met during that time. This is just another challenge in my life and something that I will be working to overcome."

Cricket can be quite morbid at times and nothing like a competitive player ending his career abruptly due to an injury.
