If laxman or dravid gets out in early session of the morning then loss is impeccable .Parthiv patel showed played as same as dinesh karthick he showed no difference.I still wonder why they changed the keeper i am not saying this because i from chennai but karthick having played two matches is deserved to get another chance.I also feel karthick is a busy player at the crease he is just like shewag.
