Seems like a straight up shootout for all the 7 bowlers. Not surprising exactly 0 have stepped up for the challenge. Good to see Pathan get hit for plenty.

Kohli What a knock. Even though it was a warmup.

Surprising lack of Kohli pics by Jono so far.

I very much look forward to Rohit Sharma getting picked in the CT ahead of Kartik, because he's gun in IPL:laugh:

Karthik was picked based on the IPL as well..
I like to think Karthik was picked based on suitability and familiarity to the conditions, as well as being a backup wicket keeper. He was employed as a Test opener in England a few years back and looked really good so I thought the selection was partially based on that.

But you're probably right. :p

Actually I think it's a bit of both. He was in the squad for the Pakistan ODI series, but didn't get a game. That was most likely due to his gun Ranji and OD season. What got him into the XI was probably the IPL though.
