It is quite stupid giving games to Chennai when its more than likely going to rain. Also the drainage system isn't world class so the chances of play after rain is very small.
Just move the game to a part of India which is hot as always :cool:
In fact , Chennai is a one of the most hottest places in India .
For your information, the northern part of India and the west coast recieves rainfall during the months of june to September and the South India and Sri Lanka during the months of October and November.
So , it was a blunder by the BCCI to allot matches to Chennai uring November when it usually rains there rather than th month of March when England will be visiting India .
Chennai public is one of the most knowledgable in the country and the crowds here support both the sides .
It has witnessed great matchs in the past but the BCCI hav made a mess of all that with the matchs alloted to Chennai during Nov-Dec for the past 3 years . Can`t they at least learn from their past mistakes ?
and as I typ , Ganguly has been included in the test side . I feel this in not right because Ganguly is not the best in tests . His records show that he is more valuable as a ODI batsman than a test match player. Also, he has seldom won test matches or saved them for India (the only one that springs to mind is Brisbane 2003)
Gsnguly has always been a great ODI batsman and an average test batsman .
And why has Zaheer not been selected ? He performed superbly in th Duleep Trophy . I cannot find any reason for his non-inclusion . I think we need his experience in tests . Ajit Agarkar may have taken wickets in the ODIs but he has not been the best in test matches and we cannot rely on him to win us test matches . Zaheer has 5 wicket hauls abroad and had performed well in the home series against Australia in 2004 though he did not get many wickets .
