From what I have followed - and I have likely missed domestic matches so could be off - Tiwary did very well prior to the first time he was selected in the squad. Sadly, he had a bad injury when he was sure to be drafted and was totally in form, then he was out until now. Ironically, I think his run prior to this most recent selection was not as impressive as the earlier run. So I feel the slightly more distant past has helped his candidacy. Or he was just lucky to get selected now. Either way, full marks to him for making the most of the available opportunity.

same thing happened to Rohit - he was set to replace VVS (i think) and got injured during warmups on the morning of the Test.

We played Saha against SA - as a batsman.

oh and incidentally, Badrinath also played that Test and scored a 50 amid a dismal collapse. the working over Steyn gave him in the 2nd inning (or the next match?) has often been quoted as a reason why he didnt get another opportunity. who hasnt Steyn worked over?
