There is way too much instability in this side. Some players are being made to play every Test like it's their last.

 

Binny plays 2 Tests, gets dropped and is reselected after 2 Tests. Ashwin gets dropped out of the team for 6 Tests after having one bad Test. Jadeja is proclaimed as our frontline spinner in away Tests because of one good performance, and gets to play 5 more Tests after that. Rohit Sharma is picked for one Test and then dropped again. Pragyan Ojha has not even been considered for an away Test regardless of how well he plays at home. Kumar was dropped for 4 Tests before being picked at Trent Bridge. Gambhir will be dropped if he doesn't perform in the 2nd innings.

Had Rahane and Vijay not performed well here, they would have faced the axe too.

Gambhir ... Somehow left hand openers don't work for India..

Nevertheless he is still the best left handed opener we've ever had. His time is pretty much over now though and I don't expect him to last beyond the Australia tour.

Sehwag's game was built on hand eye co-ordination. At this age it won't be possible for him to play like that at this level. He's even struggling for Delhi.

Raina and Yuvraj have been big flops in Tests. They should never ever be considered for Tests.

 

Zaheer was brought back for mentoring the younger bowlers and he did his job fairly well while also picking up some wickets. It was stupid of Dhoni to have made him bowl extremely long spells in SA and NZ. They could have selected him as a squad member for England. He is also a great captain/leader and would have helped in setting up fields and chalking up strategies to bowl out the opposition.
