Rule# 36

36) Kids are the creatures of habit, oh wait, actually everyone is

Abhi na jao chhod kar.......

Dukh aur sukh ke raaste
baney hai sabke vaaste

jo gham se haar jaaogey
to kis tarah nibhaaogey

khushi mile hume ke gham
jo hoga baant lengey hum

mujhe tum aazmaao to
zaraa nazar milaao to

yeh jism do sahi magar
dilo mein faasla nahin
jahaan mein aisa kaun hai
ke jisko gham mila nahin

abhi na jaao chhodkar
ke dil abhi bhara nahi.....

tumhaare pyaar ki kasam
tumhaara gham hai mera gham

na yoon bujhe bujhe raho
jo dil ki baat hai kaho

jo mujhse bhi chhupaaoge
to phir kisse bataaoge

main koi gair to nahin
dilaaun kis tarah yakin
ki tum se main judaa nahin
mujhse tum judaa nahin

tum se main judaa nahin
mujhse tum judaa nahin

abhi na jaao chhodkar
ke dil abhi bhara nahin

Lord's test

My team for upcoming historic test match at Lord's

1) Gautam Gambhir
2) Rahul Dravid
3) VVS Laxman
4) Sachin Tendulkar
5) Suresh Raina
6) Yuvraj Singh
7) MS Dhoni
8) Harbhajan
9) Zaheer Khan
10) Ishant Sharma
11) Munaf Patel

I know, this won't be final playing XI and definitely not in this order.
Team management won't fiddle with VVS's position as he has done extremely well at his 5 position, and similarly someone with Dravid's credentials won't be handed the opener's role just like that; and There is going to be a toss up between Munaf and Praveen, both are similar bowlers but Praveen is slightly better fielder and can also wield his bat better than Munaf, so he might a get nod ahead of him.
So in most probability, team management will stick to more traditional approach for the first test, i.e. to open with specialist openers and not fiddle with already settled batting order.
So Mukund will open with Gambhir, and Dravid & Laxman will play at their usual positions.

Also Praveen will be opted over Munaf.

But in heart of my heart, I still feel India should take a pro-active stand rather than a reactive one. Opening with one brand new opener and other coming back from long lay off doesn't sound like a good idea to me. I'm pretty sure Dravid will be called out for duty within first 5 overs, so why not open with him?

Similarly, I will prefer Munaf over Praveen coz I feel Munaf is more disciplined among the two, and in test-match batting prowess of bowlers should not be considered at all.


Lets see, how it begins, I think later in the series management might agree with my views :-)
P.S - someone share this post with Fletcher/Dhoni ;-)
