Munaf and Sree against OZs…

After watching the performances of both Munaf Patel and S Sreesanth in Irani Trophy and Challenger Series, it would not be that difficult to predict that these two players should get the selectors' nod in the upcoming series against Ricky Ponting’s side.
Munaf caught the selectors’ attention by taking most wickets in the game between Rest of India and Mumbai, that ended in a draw, while S Sreesanth's performance was good enough to give him the much-needed chance.
There were some other creditable performances as well. Ajit Agarkar, Sudip Tyagi and Ashok Dinda were other medium-pacers who can be discussed when the team gets selected. But Munaf and Sree seem to replace RP Singh and Ishant Sharma.
The only thing that goes against the lanky pacer from Baroda is his agility in the field. He takes all the time in the world to get to the ball and his shoulder doesn’t help him in releasing the ball quickly enough.
While Sreesanth always finds himself in one or the other controversy. Some would have thought his being debarred from the Indian side might have taught him a much-needed lesson. But his argument with the opposing side in the Irani Trophy game could spoil the party for him.
I would like to see Ajit Agarkar donning a Blue, Red or Green jersey and claw his way back in the Indian side. But he was completely overlooked. Ashok Dinda is another bowler who seems to have good blend of energy and confidence and should be given a serious thought.
Whosoever becomes the selectors' choice, it would not be easy for them to bowl against the in-form Aussie batsmen, especially the makeshift (successful) opener Shane Watson and skipper Ricky Ponting.
