Don't forget Andy Gaunteume (i think i spelt that right) who has the highest test batting average of all time after he scoed 112 and never played another test because of return from injuries by better players

I guess when it comes down to it at the end of the day it has to be the politics, we dont know whats going on in the selection board rooms, training grounds and dressing rooms but i am quite sure it comes down to that

surely in india that is what it comes down to because people are always saying how people who dont deserve a place in india's call up are getting it infront of people who really deserve it. That is why you see alot of people who have one series for india and then you never see them again but in other test nations they usually get one home and one away series to perform.

i guess we are right but india also do give 2nd chances sometimes, look at Yuvraj, he played his first one day series in the ICC Knock Out many years ago where he played excellent, but then he was unheard of and then they called him up again for the tour in England where him and Kaif won the series for them in the Final (WHAT A GAME) and then he has cemented himself in the one day squad... but also when Ganguly was injured Yuvraj came in and he ended up scoreing 100+ but he doesnt play tests

thats because, unless he opens, then he's hardly a chance of unseating ganguly tendulkar dravid or laxman

politics before performance in india about cricket, that is unfair to the millions and millions of fans that india have all over the globe and to the quality players who will never get their chance
