Former greats Allan Donald and VVS Laxman on Saturday slammed India's team selection for the second Test against South Africa, saying the move to play Ishant Sharma at the expense of Bhuvneshwar Kumar was baffling. "Don't understand how you can leave a bowler out that don't have more bounce than a taller bowler @ImIshant.

@BhuviOfficial has so much skill and accuracy that he brings. It's like leaving out @VDP_24!" pace legend Donald wrote on his twitter handle, while also making a reference to Vernon Philander. Former India batsman Laxman was also surprised. "I am surprised not to find Bhuvi in the playing XI today. In the first Test, he took the most number of wickets (6 wickets) showing skill in using the new ball & batted quite well showing patience nd resilience. Am I missing something here ??" Former India batsman Vinod Kambli also made their displeasure public. "Virat and the Team Management are surprising their own players and confusing us."
