to see opener Wasim Jaffer, who score 80 and an unbeaten 101 in the two innings here, did not get a recall into the Test squad. "It's disappointing that he was not selected. He has to keep scoring runs and performing well, I guess," he said. Stating that his bowling attack was a bit inexperienced in the absence of regular skipper Ajit Agarkar, Nayar insisted that they could have still taken the lead had someone given Sachin Tendulkar company long enough to surpass the Rest of India's first innings score. "If someone had carried on with Sachin, we would have got the lead. But it happens," said Nayar who was a flop in both innings with the bat along with Rohit Sharma, two mainstays for the 40-time champions this season.
