It definitely has to be a spinner. I just don't know which two I'd pick.

My choice for fourth bowler, Prasanna hasn't even received a vote, also a little surprised by thr Bedi votes over some of the leggies.

John Parker told a gathering that I was at once that Bedi would bowl long spells and to preserver the strength in his fingers he would only spin 2-3 deliveries an over. You couldn't pick up on which one was spinning from the revs on the ball so you had to listen for the whirrrr in the air from his spinning one.

It seems that Prasanna is not the favourite Indian spinner. Perhaps he may come in as the fourth bowler depending on who the first choice spinner is.

Personally, I don't think that a team can win enough Test matches with only 2 quicks, so I think that 3 is more or less mandatory. Here's hoping that Mankad gets the No.6 spot (as he should with both Engineer and Dev to follow);

Kapil Dev
Zaheer Khan
Javagal Srinath

I kind of think of Chandra as more of a fourth bowler, but meh I want him to have a vote.

Votes so far;

Kapil Dev = 11
Javagal Srinath = 7
Zaheer Khan = 3
Mohammad Nisser = 1
Amar Singh = 1
Bishan Bedi = 3
Anil Kumble = 4
Chandra = 2

It appears that Dev and Srinath will be the opening bowlers at this stage in the voting.

We then have a clash between Bedi, Kumble, and Chandra for the first spinners spot, with a possibility that Zaheer Khan will overtake the lot of them to make up a 3 man pace-attack.

It's obvious that I won't be calling the voting for some time. Facinating stuff!

As good as Zaheer Khan is, it would be strange to see either Bedi or Kumble lose out on a place to him.
