my honest opinion is yes he probably would, he strikes me as being a player who is a better keeper and batsman than eitehr parthiv patel or dinesh karthik.
please discuss

Interesting questions. I expect most Indian supporters to say no, but I venture a yes. I rate Taibu as a good little player and if he didn't have to carry the Zimbabwean batting, he'd be better statistically. Excellent wicketkeeper.

I'd suggest that Denesh Ramdin is/will be as good/better than he is within a year or so. I'd also say that Jacobs is in tremendous batting form. :p I wouldn't mind him in there though.

I think Taibu would comfortably make the Indian Test side, there's the added bonus of his massively underused off-breaks as well.

Undoutably so. Comfortably a better gloveman than Karthik, Dhoni or Patel, and an accomplished batsman. Heck, I'd pick him in the England Test and ODI sides...

Kartik is no way a better batsman , this guy is very good :) i think he would get in there, i think he would get in most international teams..

Pakistan, possibly West Indies, India, possibly England.

No I wouldn't want taibu in the indian team. His batting sucks, karthik is better.

On the other hand, if gilchrist is available...................

The first contributor to my prediction...

Taibu is a very competent batsman and Kartik has done nothing as yet to suggest he's as good or better.
