Jack in Australia (5) / Hiken for India?

Sadly another single figure score for Jack but his Power House side scored a welcome first innings ‘win’ in their latest match:

Scorecard : Power House Round 6

Table : Table after Round 6

Meanwhile, in the Ranji Trophy, Hiken hit another fifty, although he was disappointed at not going on having been not out overnight, the fourth time this has happened to him recently if you use the match against England as a starting point.

However we can’t be too critical! Despite his dismissal at the start of a crazy final day against a Punjab, (action shot below), side containing Harbhajan Singh, (http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/574083.html), reducing his First Class career average to just below 50; he is still has one of the highest averages in the competition, (http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ranji-trophy-2012/engine/records/batting/most_runs_career.html?id=7515;type=tournament), prompting one Indian fan to post the following a few days after England took a 2-1 lead in the Test Series, (thanks to Po for spotting):

TILL NOW Round 6 day 3, My Ranji XI 2012 with batting order:

1. Jiwanjot Singh (661 runs) 2. Akshath Reddy (530 runs) 3. Parthiv Patel(WK & C) (694 runs) 4. Ravindra Jadeja (794 runs & 21 wickets) 5. Hiken Shah (433 runs) 6. Manprit Juneja (571 runs) 7. Parvez Rassol (436 runs & 22 wickets) 8. Rishi Dhawan (374 runs & 32 wickets) 9. Rakesh Dhruv (340 runs & 20 wickets) 10. Shahbaz Nadeem (26 wickets) 11. Sandeep Sharma (29 wickets)

other Reserves 12. Paras Dogra (617 runs) 13. Siddarth Kaul (28 wickets) 14. Ishwar Pandey (29 wickets) 15. Yashpal Singh (652 runs)

What all of u think about it against ENGLAND ? I think much competitive than current Indian team & might be 3-0 we would have as spin option of Jadeja, Rassol, Nadeem & Dhruv + Batting Depth + good young fast bowler + batsman who implement them & looks for big score.
