At the end of a successful day for Indian cricket, one hears the startling news that Yuvraj is likely to take the place of pace man RP Singh for the third and fourth Test against Australia.
One fails to understand the need of a batsman replacing a bowler, when Badrinath is already in the team. One concludes that this is another attempt to satisfy a quota requirement.
There are also rumors speculating that Ganguly is injured and hence Yuvraj is a cover for him. Having seen no evidence of injury when Ganguly was batting one assumes that this injury is a smokescreen.
Now what is behind the smokescreen?
UPDATE: India has named an unchanged team for the next two Tests.

Don't understand it at all - Ganguly did wince with pain once while batting today - (did he take the field in the second innings?)
Unless they want another "lefty", in case Ganguly is injured, it is very strange.
RS,
False alaram. They have announced an unchanged Test squad. :)
I breathed a sigh of relief as well - I had seen the recall reports earlier. Yuvi has some friends :)
Absolutely rs. Many powerful friends.
while they're at it, why not give Kambli a go too. He's a lefty too.
Lefty my foot. Make that lefty my right foot.
both badri and raina are fitter than YS as of today. more agile fielders too.
