fully agree.. but he has ensured his place in the team for another 1.5 yrs at least (without any runs) following his century against Bermuda, a BIG team.. till dravid is there, no one can touch sehwag.. if india loses tomorrow's game, dravid will lose his captaincy and so we would lose virendra sehwag!!! the greatest batsman of all time.. HA HA HA

true...donot drop sehwag, we need players with attitude..even wen sehwa was out of form as a batsman, he was brilliant with his fielding and decent bowling..now that he has come back to form, u could see him concentrating hard wityh deep breath...its a risky one to drop him...and wat happend to pathan??thsi is the time to give chance to him, more than a kumble like bowler, hesa a big hitetr of the ball durign end overs...

SEHWAG CANNOT BE DROPPED FOR ANOTHER 2 YEARS...HE IS GOING TO BE THE ONLY CENTURIAN FOR INDIA IN THE CURRENT WORLD CUP..HE WILL BE IN THE TEAM FOR ANOTHER 3 YRS MIN.
The key to Indian performance lies in minimising dot balls. The team that minimises dot-balls while batting will win this Cup.
Even when we made 413, there were around 140 dot balls in our innings. When we made 191 against Bangladesh, there were almost 200 dot balls (that is 33 maiden overs out of 50.
Against teams like SL, bad (boundary) balls will be rare. We will need to consistently convert singles out of perfectly good balls. Similarly, batsmen will have to learn to minimise their "settling times". A batsman like Ganguly was blinking hard (trying to see the ball well) after playing for 15-20 overs!
If you plot the team result (win or loss) against the dot balls conceded, you will see my point.

Absolutely Valid point.That is where Sachin and Dravid are better when compared to ganguly and sehwag.Both sachin and rahul shud come in the order to combat murali and co

very well pointed out, everyone was praising ganguly's consistency, but he is overdoint it, fine if he wastes a few balls initially to get set, But i noticed in both matches he was wasting 5 balls even after playing 30 overs, that is bad. i guess team management should give him teh message that after 10 overs you cannot waste more than 1 ball per over, hit or get out
WHY ISNT PATHAN IN THE TEAM ??? WHY THE HELL IS AGARKAR STILL THERE ?? HIS PATHETIC PERFORMANCE AGAINST BANGLADESH WAS BAD ENOUGH AND EVEN BERMUDA SCREWED HIM...ATLEAST PATHAN IS A GOOD BATSMAN AND MORE RELIABLE THAN SEHWAG ...!!!
IRFAN HAD BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL AGAINST BANGLADESH B4 HE WAS CHOSEN FOR THE SQUAD ...!!!

Because he has vengsarkar's backing. Otherwise I don't see him at all in this team.
The whole of the country is looking into imaginative world but be realistic and wish the indian so called leaders(rahul, tendulkar,sehwag etc) to do some beautiful ads which will earn them name and money what will happen if india reaches super 8 nothing but waste of time to the viewers. In my view Indian players should look for some directors in the carribean who can shoot ad for them
what if Sruilanka bats first and manages only 103,and india chases the target in 48.3 overs ..that is a low scoring game is also a possibility. IN that case i think,the chances for bangaladesh to qualify will be comparitively easier,IS IT NOT ????

Indians who matter have already taken care of SL and B. No need to worry India will qualify for super 8.

No dear, NRR is diffrence b/w team 1 run/over - team run/over. It is not depend on Low score, it purely depend on the frist batting team total. hope u r clear now.
I hope INDIA will beat sri lanka because we have youraj singh, sachin Tendulkar & Rahul dravid. shewag is also come in form. my INDIA Squad is again SOURAV GANGULY & ROBIN UTHAPPA IS OPERNER VIRENDER SHEWANG SACHIN TENDULKAR YUVRAJ SINGH RAHUL DRAVID MAHENDER SINGH DHONI HARBHANAN SINGH SRISANTH MUNAF PATEL IT'S INAF FOR LANKA
I would like to see INDIA to be in Super 8. But, I wish INDIA should loose the match against SL. If TEAM INDIA loose against SL, we can expect LOT of senior(so called experience)players like SACHIN, GANGULY, SEHWAG, DRAVID to retire from any form of CRICKET.
We can expect a totally new TEAM INDIA with YOUNGSTERS....
In case if they win against SL, they will be in SUPER 8, and same OLD STORY will repeat with this SO CALLED, MUCH HYPED INDIAN PLAYERS....
