No, the SL authorities aren't clueless like you.

In tests we have a 3 test series with Lanka in India in Nov 2009, 3 test series with SA in Dec-Jan 09-10, and a 2 test series with Bangladesh after that.

He'll do well not to get dropped during the Lanka series. For all his experience, he's still pretty clueless against good spin bowling.

Also, nice to see we have two really tough series coming up. Hopefully the FTB quotient of the team will be significantly less than it is now.

SA series will also be in India. It somehow defies logic since SA had come to India last year itself.

But that is what the news channel showed. Let us wait for the official announcement.

we dont have that many ftbs in the test team. sehwag, gambhir, dravid, srt, laxman are a good top 5. wonder who will slot in at 6th, probably yuvraj for now. esp if he has a solid champions trophy

would like to see sharma, rahane and pujara getting some action within a year

This sounds correct. Any reason why SA is touring India again after 08?

Any reason why we go to bangladesh again? FFS, they can't organise a 2 test series in India and be done with it?

I was talking of the current ODI team, so everyone except Dhoni and RP Singh.

Pujara has to be given a chance soon, there's got to be more competition for the test places.
