Ok..poor title :-)...but here, the fit one heard from
And the faulty one heard about. Here's the gist of it
Interestingly, Kaif is named as India seniors captain for Challenger. Which may indicate that he is one of the candidates in the radar for being groomed for future captaincy? Otherwise a simple 'way out' could have been to ask SRT to 'fill up' the role.
Also Satyajit Parab replaces SG in seniors team, and Yusuf Pathan gets his place in B squad.
The team members and coach (Chappell) are together and would remain so though there can be different views. It is like in a family where the members are having different views. But by this, it cannot be said there is no unity in the teamI leave it to you to believe him or not. He also promotes the case for a media manager for the team. A permanent and 'active' one.
And the faulty one heard about. Here's the gist of it
Ganguly's fitness test was supervised by John Gloster, the Indian team physio, and Dr Anant Joshi, the chief of the Indian board's medical panel. "Gloster and Dr Joshi examined the injury and also studied the MRI report,. I leave this one also upto you to believe or not, since not much related to SG is accepted these days.

mayur...I think if VS was there he wud have been made the captain. He is surely one of the future candidates in the minds of selectors etc. Whether he blows his chances or keeps them alive is another thing. Kaif's appointment means that he is also in the radar. Thats all.

mayur, worma - You guys are thinking logically. Kaif was made the captain because someone thought it up as SG was declared unfit. You are discussing it like the BCCI actually do these things with a plan. I mean hasn't VVSL been the captain of A teams and ROI team for a while now. That has mean't nothing.

gopalblog...at one point of time..when VVSL was in prime touch in both forms...he was a candidate for captaincy...(sure..RD was ahead...so what..hes ahead of VS also)...and then he went down...and now is struggling to get to the top of his game as a batsman...so captaincy chances (if any) blown away....but I dont think it was outright illogical....I dont think the selectors (some of which are intelligent cricketers of their times) are that illogical....dont confuse it with the BCCI administration....the selectors are not part of it...sure they may be influenced by the bosses...but they are still not actually part of that mis-management team.
Now VVSL is teh captain because he is in A squad...and with experinnce of captaincy etc etc...so they asked him to do the 'filler' role (as I said, they could have asked SRT to do the filler role for seniors had they not had something in mind for kaif)

@alvin
kumble is not in the team MK is captaining. SRT was the only other option - and wud u want a captain who has twice failed at it, by all accounts is/was reluctant at it and just recovering from injury ??

yep..gk I agree..SRT was the only other option..and as I said..that would have meant a 'filler' option....I think by asking Kaif to handle it, the selectors are obviously hinting at being open minded......it doesnt mean they are looking for him as an option right now.....it can be next in line (after RD....lets say an option along with VS...when that time comes)....I think its a good move
and yes..VVS can indeed earn another recall in the team with good performance :-)....esp look out for the often given reason called 'experience'..since SG may not be there

Dravid as test Captain and Sewag as vice captain,and Kaif as ODI captain would be the way to move forward.
