Include Dinda ahead of Harbhajan Singh – Ganguly – Cricket News Update
Former Indian skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ashok-Dinda-c1098 ahead of Harbhajan Singh in the playing XI.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 were dealt a major blow after they lost the recently concluded second Test by a convincing margin of 10 wickets.

Harbhajan Singh got his first Test game in 14 months, but the Turbanator failed to make a significant impact, claiming just two tail-ender wickets in the game. Furthermore, as it stood, the track ideally suited the England spinners, who bowled with greater precision to share 19 wickets among them.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501 and Panesar have raised questions over their insistence for a spinning track.
Ganguly reckons that a spin-friendly track will cause more problems to the underperforming Indian batters and another defeat will be highly unwanted under the current circumstances.
"Dhoni should not seek http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Turner-c41338. If the ball turns, the England spinners will create problems for the Indian batsmen. And if India lose two back to back Tests then there will be lot of changes in Indian cricket," he said.
He also recommended the team to include Dinda in the playing XI, who was the second highest wicket-taker in last year’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 trophy. The Bengali pacer was drafted in the squad following an injury to Yadav, but was omitted from the Mumbai clash.
"I think Dhoni and the team management should not insist again for a spin-friendly wicket as it would only create problem for the Indian batsmen," Ganguly said.
"I want to see Dinda in the line-up in place of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453. Playing three spinners don't work at all, which is showed clearly in Harbhajan's bowling of 20-odd overs. I hope MS will balance the attack (at Eden)."
