I also tend to think one of the middle order slots will be taken by Dhoni at some point. Even a tough man like MSD surely can't keep wickets in 3 formats plus IPL for years together? The back is bound to give in at some point. Wonder if anyone in indian board has thought about this.

Imo, dravid will be very tough to replace - that dedication, team spirit, commitment, determination and all this with his level of talent _ in today' s glamour world that indian cricket is, very difficult to find someone lioke him . That is why pujara should be taken and persisted even if he fails for 7-8 tests. Afterall, atapattu's first 6 inns added up to one run, didn't they? He did well enough later. Pujara is one such gem. I hope he doesn't fail when selected and if he does, is not dropped immediately. We really need that dravid replacement and no one else is suited to that role. Pujara has to be given every opportunity to grow into that role.

Cheteshwar Arvind Pujara, arguably the most promising young batsman in India today, has been knocking at the doors of Test cricket for quite some time now.

Hailed by many a discerning critic as another Rahul Dravid [ Images ], the unassuming Saurashtra player had a very fruitful tour of England [ Images ] and Scotland recently, not only as a batsman but also captain of the India 'A' team.

He scored a double century (208 not out) against the West Indies [ Images ] 'A' team in a 'Test', two hundreds in seven one-dayers on the tour and yet another three-figure knock in the tri-series.

He dominated the tri-series, involving the India 'A', West Indies 'A' and England Lions teams, scoring 332 runs at an average of 83.00, with a strike-rate of 95.40, including one century and two fifties.

Though he never captained a senior team before, he led from the front and did not allow the extra responsibility to affect his batting. If anything, India 'A' came agonisingly close to winning the tri-series. A generous Fleet Street was forced to take note of the youngster's compact batting and consistency in England and Scotland.

Since I like him, let me tell this.
Pujara is a waste of space he is surely going to fail.
