Probable team for Ind Vs. Eng Test matches 2006

Here is my prediction of the team composition for the India-England test matches.
If anybody cares.
I am going through this exercise in public to help people choose the right team for their cricinfo fantasy league.

1 st test match- Nagpur:
I think India will want to go with their strongest team for the 1st match and pin England down to earth. Dravid-Chappell may not be inclined to blood too many youngsters in one match. As always you never know but hey we got to try.

The line up:

1. wasim jaffer
2. virendra sehwag
3. rahul dravid
4. sachin tendulkar
5. v.v.s laxman
6. mahendra singh dhoni
7. irfan pathan
8. anil kumble
9. harbhajan (depending on the status of his finger) or piyush chawla
10. rudra pratap singh
11. sreesanth

The first 7 automatically pick themselves. I am pretty sure sreesanth is going to get his test debut because he has performed well in ODIs and want to preserve that c0nfidence by picking him ahead of VRV. Nagpur has historically been a spinnig wicket so I wont be surprised if they go in with 3 spinners and leave out sreesanth but i see that as highly unlikely given India's recent strategy of picking 3 pacers.

2nd test match - Mohali

Mohali is great pitch for pace bowling so i think VRV will definitely get his debut here and I think it is his home ground also.

The lineup:

1. wasim jaffer
2. virendra sehwag
3. rahul dravid
4. sachin tendulkar
5. v.v.s laxman
6. mahendra singh dhoni
7. irfan pathan
8. rudra pratap singh
9. vrv singh
10. sreesanth
    
11. harbhajan

I know i left out Kumble but I think this is the best place to try out 4 a pacer combination.

3rd test - Mumbai:
by this time we have sealed the series and remembering how the mumbai pitch behaved with the aussies i think the team will have spinners galore

The lineup:

1. wasim jaffer
2. virendra sehwag
3. rahul dravid
4. sachin tendulkar
5. v.v.s laxman
6. mahendra singh dhoni
7. irfan pathan
8. anil kumble
   
9. vrv singh/sreesanth ( depending on test 1 and test 2 performance)
   
10. piyush chawla
    
11. harbhajan

I will leave the one-day lineup for later when the team is decided by BCCI.

This is how my fantasy team is going to be and i am going to make big bucks.
