ODI performances can influence test selection, certainly Sharma must be contention after a couple of good performances, and someone like Irfan Pathan, on the contrary, will not be in contention.

Sharma's non inclusion in Test side is one of the biggest mistake Indian selectors had done. He should have played atleast 20 matches by now.The other candidate I strongly recommend for ODI's and T20's is Robin Uthappa in shorter form of the game.

Now he has taken up the glove work for state team and doing pretty good ,instead of trying other untested youngsters, selectors should give this guy another long rope. He had proved himself at highest level at a young age that he could fit in.He was never given a stable spot to play, he was always like a floater fitting anywhere from opener to number 7. His IPL performances might be joke for many, but he is that sort of player who when in good form does not matter if that is international or domestic bowler.Now he has matured with age and can really tear any attack apart on his day.

India's next series is against SLN in July (Yes, Sri lanka AGAIN!!! some 1000th time in last 3 years LOL).

It's a 3 test series, that's all, India have already played their last ODI of 2012. Plenty of time still for selectors and management to think about various options, they'll get 1 month off after the IPL.

VVS won't retire for now, they'll phase out seniors one by one.

I do agree that sometimes losing turns out to be good for a team in the long run as it doesn't give any false impressions, still feel had Pakistan lost to BAN in the finals it would have been better for Pakistan, not that I wanted them to lose but think it would have been better.

I also feel India were not that bad in the Asia Cup, they played better cricket than Pakistan to be honest but were unlucky not to reach the finals... Pakistan will take a bit of luck though, it's something they haven't had often.

I actually really like what I have seen of Robin Uthappa, he looks like he's matured a lot of late and he's quite grounded. I think he could be a useful prospect, while I'm sure Pujara will be eyeing a comeback.

I have said before and will say it again Nohit Sharma is a very ordinary player i'm very happy that they are wasting time with him but sorry to say they will get no rewards there are far more talented player in India than him.

Rohit Sharma - What the world has seen is gear 1, gear speed 2,3,4,5,7,8,9 to be witnessed in IPL only.

Some of the guys who decided to give him MOS for two ODI series post World Cup need do a lot of interospection on why they gave him the MOS award! Either they are out of their senses or they are prefectly right in what they did.

 
I know who was right and who was wrong... Anyway , MOS means Man Of the Series.
 
Back to Asia Cup , good that the complaint has been rejected on the ground that Umpires have not brought it to the notice.Anyway max they could have got was two runs out of it.Pakistan played and handled the pressure better and they won it.
 
Nothing about this incident, I guess Umpires must not be responsible for taking many on feild controvertial calls ..... I guess things like Chucking (Once in a while... there are quite a few who do that), Ball Tampering , Pitch Tampering, Sledging while not in umpire's view... all this should not be under the control of Umpires persual. All this has to be ongoing ... probably only place where DRS  ... err I mean Video Evidence could be effective.
