i wouldn't put agarkar & robin singh on the same scale.... personally Agarkar is a better player .... well this is the sad part of this that we DONT have anyone so far who has shown promise & can replace Agarkar at this position .... he will be in the team as long as you get anyone who can replace him.... same is ths story with batting .... most of the seniors are there because we dont have younger players that have performed at the international level... sad but true

So if you were the selector for a cricket team and had the freedom to pick whoever you wanted, you will seriously pick Ajit Agarkar instead of Wasim Akram, Michael Holding or Andy Roberts?
I would pick Agarkar ... he is the only one playing now and can play for India , as he is an Indian

Yes, there is no other fit bowler who can replace Agarkar.
But in batting, there are some who can replace aging stars. And Rebuilding is supposed to be a Process. Selectors should start pushing out Oldies. They all are way beyond there past - and they all will go together leaving young players alone.
Laxman is bound to sit out with 2 openers & 3 giants in middle-order. They should have retained Rohit Sharma to stay & learn with the team.
After Laxman ... Selectors should shut out either Saurav or Sachin after a year.

Players like Agarkar and Robin Singh are like "fillers" - you use them when you want to rest more seasoned players, or when you have already won/lost a series and are playing a match that doesn't matter.
Or when you are playing against Holland or Canada
If Agarkar is a filler, whom do you go with? Players with lesser performance? In that case entire Indian pace attack is a filler. So if Zahir Khan, who is a filler too, is in the team, Agarkar must be in the team.
Yes averages do matter. To get close to 300 wickets is not a joke. A filler can not take those many wickets. He has performed well.
You avoided to answer - how come 13 wickets in to matches is poor performance?
Accept man! We do not have better fast bowler than Agarkar right now, and his position in the team is based on the performance.

I can't think why they even brought him back after sacking him and all the controversies surrounding him.
He is very territorial, selfish and factional - overall a bad influence on the team.
Laxman still has a lot of runs left in him and Sachin has too, if only he can humble himself and start playing for the team again rather than himself.
And we gotta work on the opening pair as well.

What does playing for himself means .... he is batsmen .... he scores runs it is added to team total ....... he does not take it home .... if he has scored all these centuries ...... they have all been for India ...
