This achievement is a result of the joint effort by all of above, all really wants to keep their role best in this.\nVengsarkar being new in this team deserves less ( eventhough inclusion of Jaffer, a big blunder)- \n\nWhat this Chappal & Dravid handle with our team, nobody understand.Their selection of final XI batting / bowling changes in each matches, nobody can digest.\n\nLet us look about the recent stories.\nAfter the continous failure of batsmen they never tried to shruffle the batting order according to their ability. They says to have done experiment with Pathan at no.3, that is not much a hilarious idea. Many punch hitters have been sent to these positions and been succesful for all teams. Even Chetan Sharma scored a century at no.3. So sending as Pathan as a punch hitter according to circumstances we can admit, but how we can consider him as a top order batsman..?\nThey never tried Dhoni at no.2 or 3, who can stay around and also go for big hits after being settled. Insted of Pathan they could have tested Dhoni Yuvraj or even Raina as one more chance. Since middle order batting collapsed worstly, Dravid had to get down upto no.5 or 6 followed by Sehwag.\n\nIn DLF cup Sreesanth was called back & he bowled well against WIndies & the next match he has been dropped.\nAgain in SA, Pathan & Sreesanth was included in the 1st match.After the match has been abandoned without a ball being bowled for the second match surprisingly both were omitted. At least 3-4 continous chance should be given for a player to evaluate his performance.\n\nWhat way these guys are thinking, nobody knows. Then Y this consideration is not giving to substitute batsman for long time in place of Raina or Kaif.\n\nOn recent performance of Indian team, a rotation base experiment of players, ( as Australia did before & hence became the best) since we have numerous young talents as well as experienced ones.\n\nThe present Indian team is not bad, but the utilization of it is important. When they R replacing Sehwag it should be DKarthick who was succesful in one day games than Jaffer at domestic matches, and also a better competitor.\n\nBowling we have all are almost at same range, but in SA type of wickets it is better if they go for Saheer,Munaf, Sreesanth,Pathan & Kumble ahead of Agarkar & Harbajan.\n\nHowever let us hope for the best in coming days...

HARBHJAN SINGH ALONE IS ENOUGH.  YUVRAJ AND SEHWAG CAN BE UTILISED AS SECOND SPINNER IF REQUIRED.

Opening bowlers have long been the bane of the Indian cricket team and the reason why they do not get close to the number 1 ranking.  Australia hit number 1 with McGrath and Gillespie and exception support from Kaspa, Bichel or Lee as a first change option.  And of course they had Warne.  South Africa briefly hit the number 1 spot using points from the great Donald career and the emergence of Pollock and Ntini as good opening bowlers.\n\nIndia do not need bowlers who are occassionally good with the new ball, they need bowlers who are constantly good and they could also use a good old ball bowler like Simon Jones.\n\nBatting will avail them nothing, they had an all time great batting lineup in Ganguly, Tendulkar, Dravid and Laxman and it still didn't help them win away series.

...itz almost near, but you see\n\n3 specialist all rounders (excluding Ganguly)\n7 specialist batsmen (including Dhoni)\n6 specialist bowlers\n\nSo we have 9 specialists + 3 optional bowlers in your side and \n7 specialist + 3 optional (all rounders) are there...So why can't you drop 1 or 2 from the bowler's list and prefer batsman..?\nSince JPYadav has got chance earlier, I prefer jogindersingh among the all rounders...\n\nSo my  decision will be including Laxman (if Raina is not clicking again) & Dinesh Karthick - \ninstead of JPYadav & AAgarkar.\n\nIf you still need one bowler, either YMahesh or VRV Singh can be brought alongwith Laxman.

From my point of view, Rahul Dravid's wicket will be most important for India. He is THE WALL OF INDIAN DEFENCE.\nYuvraj Singh would also be a key player down in the middle order. It will be too much to expect some fast centuries from Dhoni.\n\nFrom Pak side, Inzamam & Mohd. Yusuf (Yusuf Yohana) will hold the key.\nShoaib Akhtar & Shahid Afridi are also in form.

Why should he? He is of the same age as Dravid and Tendulkar. He does have a few years of first-class cricket left.\n\nAnd Saurav is a good calculative man. He'll wait till the world cup squad is decided. And then perhaps make his debut as a commentator.

WE CANT POINT OUT A SINGLE PERSON LIKE THAT.\n\nTHAT MUST BE A TEAM WORK.\n\nIRFAN AND HIS NEW BALL PARTNER SHOULD CREATE THE INITIAL BREAK-THROUGH.\n\nSPINNERS SHOULD CONTAIN THE MIDDLE ORDER.\n\nFIELDERS SHOULD BAG THE HARD CATCHES.\n\nOPENERS OF INDIA SHOULD GIVE THE STRONG BASEMENT.\n\nRAHUL SHOULD ANCHOR HIS INNINGS ALMOST TILL THE FINAL WICKET.\n\nDHONI AND YUVRAJ SHOULD SMASH THE TIRED BOWLERS.\n\nTOSS,WEATHER AND LUCK SHOULD FAVOUR INDIA.\n\nA BIG TASK AHEAD.

BATTINGWISE INDIANS WILL MANAGE SOMEHOW..\n\nTHE BOWLING ATTACK WILL RATHER SHOULD PLAY THE MAJOR ROLE.

KAPIL WAS A QUIKIE. AND HE IS STILL RATED AS THE BEST ALL-ROUNDER.\nSO, SPINNER YA PACER IS NOT THE KEY.\n\nTHE REAL ISSUE IS WHETHER IRFAN HAS THE ALL-ROUNDER TALENT OR NOT.\n\nHE IS NOT EVEN A WORLD CLASS BOWLER.\nONE OF THE BEST IN INDIAN TEAM. THAT'S ALL.\nTO HIGH0LIGHT HIM AS THE BEST, SOME POOR BOWLERS SCREENED SO FAR.\nBALAJI IS ONE OF THEM.\n\nIRFAN NEVER HAD BATTING TALENT TOO.\nIF YOU GET A CHANCE TO WATCH HIS HIGH SCORING INNINGS, YOU MAY FIND HE WAS SMASHING OFF-VOLLEYS,\nOVER PITCHED DELIVERIES, AWAY THE OFF STUMP BALLS ONLY.\nNEVER BEEN COMFORTABLE WITH SWINGERS, YORKERS, GOOD-LENGTH DELIVERIES.\n\nBUT, STILL SOMEBODY TRYING TO FEATURE HIM AS THE "WORLD'S BEST ALL-ROUNDER" FOR SOME UN-KNOWN REASONS.\nTHIS IS THE FACT.\nHE HAS NO ALL-ROUND TALENTS.

I would like to drop virender sehwag.He is not in a good form.Ganguly should be in the team and should open the innings with uthhapa.
663369
they are giving him continously chances...which must not be done...when they have done the same with ganguly...kumble...laxman...kaif then why not with sehwag...he is not a god!!! he should be given rest for 2 or 3 three matches and may be Robin or Jaffer should come in...

There are a number of exciting players around, but the few that could have a big impact, especially with the smaller grounds in the Caribbean, are:\n\nYuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina (as a young prospect), Kevin Pietersen, Chris Gayle, Afridi.\n\nIn terms of bowlers & all rounders, expect Murali, Dwayne Bravo and Andrew Symonds to play big parts for their teams.\n\nWe could all say Lara, Tendulkar & Ponting, but it would be great to see some of these other players performing.
