I doubt a few months are going to sort out Sehwag's problems, his technique has fallen to pieces and he doesnt seem to be putting any effort in.

SEHWAG!? He's in terrible form, and I don't think he'll ever get back into form. I mean, his bowling looks a lot better then his batting now.


Everyone has bad form, you should think to the future and realise he will be good in a few months. Maybe you are unable to do that though..

Actually I would go for Graeme Smith because I think that he was the best of the lot last year.

It's Alastair Cook my cat's whisker over Hayden. Don't know why you's are considering Gayle his highest score is 91 or something for the whole of 2006 and averaged only 39.

 When starting a thread it's expected that you'll have some comments of your own - if you don't , then they usually get closed pretty quickly.   I'm still thinking about that!

Where's Chris Gayle? I did not hear his retirement.

Shariar Nafees from BAN is also better in tests than some like Jayasuriya or Sehwag on current form.
