True, but he is almost as good as a regular bowler and could be in the team almost just because of that. Plus his ODI performances are much better than Dravid's.

I hope India follows:

They rarely work now. You got any decent ones you could share?

I haven't looked recently... The *A JV partners have gotten really good at stopping 3Xs, but when I was still looking, there were lots of 1Xs available, assuming you were willing to go hopping around GUM for a while. I knew a couple 3Xs as well (hopping around Japan), but those seem to have disappeared. I'm sure that if I went poking around, I could find something.

3Xs in the Carribean and South America can significantly reduce YQ on OW JV partners to India...

Honestly, I don't understand what the problem with YQ is (other than with Award Reservations). It's included in the base price, and most passengers probably don't even know that a YQ exists.

There is a lot to learn in aviation. Do you know what it is? :)

Please don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to be rude. Hence the smiley at the end.

Basically what fuel dumping means is to use a carrier that doesn't add YQ to a booking to avoid the YQ.

Say for instance if you are flying from NYC to DEL on UA and they are charging $2500 + taxes of $600 of which $500 is the YQ. You might be able to fuel dump the YQ by adding on a US Airways segment. So you then have to do PHL-NYC-DEL but would pay $2,600 fare rather then UA's $3,100 and you would have dumped the YQ by adding the US sector.

Not necessarily. Not if they just make a rule that YQ can't be collected on award redemptions. It's become an absolute joke now trying to redeem "free" tickets on some programs.
