No doubt bout. he'd probably go down the order if he wasnt dropped
We expect high standards. To be honest, in Australia, Jaffer would have been dropped by now and not recalled, whereas India give him chance after chance. He belts a massive score and then scores several low scores.
Does he actually help the team win that much? He seems to aid more draws than victories.

Fans' opinion of a player goes up significently when they aid a victory, but Jaffer does not seem to do that too often with just 1 century in 6 won matches.

Interesting out of all of the current Aussie batsman, Ponting & Gilly are the only ones not to get 100's so far this summer.
I also think Australia are really missing McGrath.

Not really, they have skittled all the teams out this summer with the exception of today's innings.

hmm good point i agree with u. drop him now after this test from indian point of view. not helping them win at all from the look of that.
That was just some analysis, I am not saying that we should drop him immediately. However, if he fails to score over 15 or so once again, his place should be under some scrutiny. A quadruple failure is something quite serious.
Imagine yourself in my shoes! I can't play PlanetCricket Arcade due to people not agreeing with me that Brad Haddin is a good player so I have a neg rep.. and guess what, Neg rep people can't play it!
I had to endure the whole boringness of Dravid. I really think India should think about dropping either him or Jaffer, they aren't doing the job.
I watched it all day aswell. But I was posting on the forums aswell so it was alright.

Still can't understand why India are going out on the limb for Yuvraj Singh at the expense of one of their greatest ever batsman.

Jaffer's not good enough, quite simply. Gambhir for me is the instant selection, but given the circumstances, Sehwag should've played from day 1. If Dravid must open, Sehwag as his partner is a no-brainer. They are very complimentary and the records show they form huge partnerships.
Why? He has recently been out of his depth in ODIs and less recently in Tests. It seems that he is only suited to T20. My pick would have been Aakash Chopra for 891 FC runs this season at 63.64 rather than Gambhir who has a similar average, but does not have the quantity of performances nor the vital India A showing that Chopra does. Sehwag is a punt, but I see no point in picking him if there is no intention to play him.
