MSD believes in team's mental strength than injured bodies

Zaheer's ruling out of the 2nd Test match, Gautam Gambhir's still nursing an injury he sustained during the 1st Test and still unsure of his availability, will no doubt be a big blow to Indian team in a bid to make the series 1-1. But MSD has other ideas - He is a person with tough mental make up and as a true leader has passed on this thought process to his team members. He believes in bench strength that could be a good replacement to Zaheer and Gautam. Sreesanth and Yuvi could make a good back. With the ball swinging and tough attitude, will see Sreesanth seaming in when he comes on to bowl.

I am quite saddened by the performance of Bhajji, of late. With the advent of One-dayers and T-20, he has changed the length and line of the delivery - He concentrates on off and middle stump and with the ball turning in batsman find it easy to deflect the ball on the leg side. That's why one could see MSD manning a fielder on the leg slip. He does not bowl outside the off-stump. If Bhajji starts bowling outside the off-stump and MSD fields a fielder at the silly point, Bhajji will totally be a different bowler. Bhajji should also deliver the stock ball of his - bowling his 'doosra'.

Indians are known for bouncing back during the series, of late and am sure Team India's mental strength will be the key to success in the 2nd match. All the Best, Team India!!
