Pakistan in India - cricket 2007 tour
Pakistan will play five one-dayers and three tests in India, starting with the first ODI at Guwahati on Monday(5 Nov).
Veteran batsman Rahul Dravid is left out for the first two matches in Guwahati and Mohali. He wasn’t able to impress selectors, after getting down from captaincy to concentrate batting and only manage meagre score in recent series with Australia.
Keeping in mind, amount of cricket ahead (Pakistan in India, India in Australia, tri-series with Sri Lanka, SA in India….uff) . This will give a good platform for new players (such as 21-year-old rookie all-rounder Praveen Kumar) to show their worth. Moreover, experience of great player can be extended for more longer test career. This will enchant good bench strength and urge to play in players with most experienced preserved for more sophisticated version of a game.

Firstly Good to see you here Mohit !!!
I was wondering what will be your first blog and no surprise it is cricket because that is what people write along with movies and to an extent sensex (especially when it is going up) .
Let’s hope with so much money being generated by BCCI by so many matches they improve the standard of domestic league & stadiums all across India .
