I wanted to vote for him but then there I was Jimmy Amarnath as one of the options. I dont believe that there in any Indian batsman who is better than Amarnath at facing the best fast bowlers of the world.

Also why would you vote for Azhar, do you really think he was a better than Colonel or Jimmy ?

Dravid just called, he was very upset and disappointed, I said tough luck dude.

He said he was very motivated and is going to work harder on his game. I wished him luck.

[JBH001]

Dravid, Tendy, and Vishy.

(Jimmy vs Vishy for 5 was a close call though)
