Australian great Steve Waugh questioned India's team selection for the high-profile World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia, saying they have 'picked the wrong side' by not including Ravichandran Ashwin on a tricky pitch.

His assessment comes after the likes of Sourav Ganguly, Ricky Ponting and Sanjay Manjrekar expressed their surprise at the Indian team management's decision to take to the field at The Oval without senior off-spinner Ashwin, currently the world's number one bowler in Tests.
