Teams I hope to see for Murali's farewell test
As Muttiah Muralitharan prepares for his farewell Test,there is a lot of speculation and gossip :
- No other Sri lankan Tamil player will be allowed to do well in near future
- Murali will settle down in Chennai
- Sreesanth's injury means bye bye next year's world cup for him.
Here is the makeup I would like to see among the 2 teams in batting order:
India
G Gambhir
V Sehwag
R Dravid
SR Tendulkar
VVS Laxman
MS Dhoni
Harbhajan Singh
A Mishra
PP Ojha
I Sharma
MM Patel
Sri Lanka
Tharanga Paranavitana
TM Dilshan
KC Sangakkara
DPMD Jayawardene
TT Samaraweera
AD Mathews
KTGD Prasad
SL Malinga
HMRKB Herath
M Muralitharan
UWMBCA Welegedara (He also gets the award for longest name)
IMHO, both teams will need the full quota of 5 bowlers if they expect to get a result on the Sri Lankan pitches. I would also like to see India bat first . So on to Galle.
