Reserves: Bose, Utthappa, Chawla, Yusuf Pathan and Sreesanth
It is a question of Dog Pawar and Pig Vensarkar to allow the real Indian team to play...if you want Dhoni to develop, keep him as captain. But Ganguly and tendulkar should support...

Your team is O.K., but why Zaheer? He is superflop (as bowler) and is no more a strike bowler for India. Bose or Sreesanth should be in playing eleven in his place.
indians played badly but even the best teams can collapse like this once a while and that is what cricket is. there are many below 100 scores in international cricket. indian fans especially the media should not crib and criticise our cricketers to the extent of demoralising them. didnt the aussies lose to Zimbabway ? of course this is not to condone the indians weakness in batting and bowling. even after poor start the team middle order should learn to apply themslves better and stay on the crease for the team to play complete 50 overs. it is good that Dhoni does not look demoralised. perhaps for him it is baptization by fire as the Captain early on and he will become tougher captain. the batting collapse notwithstanding what baffles one like a Chinese puzzle wrapped in enigma is Dravids body language and form. After leaving the captaincy he wanted to enjoy the cricket . but , is he ?
Latest news, today morning was flashing on a news channel - Sachin, Sourav, Dravid, Dhoni, Yuvraj & Irfan rested will not be available for Challenger Trophy..
DHONI; SEE GUYS WE HAVE ONLY TWO MATCHES LEFT TO LOOSE AFTER THAT WE WILL PLAY AGAINS PAKISTAN AND HOPE TO WIN AGAINS THEM. EVERYBODY WILL FORGET WHATEVER WILL HAPPE IN THIS SERIES.
DRAVID: BUT WHAT ABOUT MY PLACE.
DHONI : DO NOT WORRY. I AM IN TALK WITH PONTING. HE WILL LET YOU SCORE FIFTY IN 6TH MATCH. JUST WE ALL HAVE TO LOOSE THE MATCH.
UTHAPPA. I AM ALSO UNDER PRESSURE.
DHONI: DO NOT WORRY. NEXT TIME GET YOURSELF RUNOUT AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THAT IT IS MISTAKE OF YOUR PARTNER, SEE GANGULY'S EXAMPLE HOW WELL HE GOT OUT ACCORDING TO MY PLAN.
ROHIT SHARMA: WILL I GET ANY OTHER CHANCE TO PLAY.
DHONI: OH NO MATE. YOU HAVE A LOT OF YEARS TO EARN. YOU ARE ONLY 21. LET THESE OLDIES EARN SOME MORE. ONLY GOD KNOWS FOR HOW LONG THEY WILL PLAY.
ZAHIR,RP,HARBHAJAN,KARTHIK: WE ARE NOT GETTING WICKETS AND PEOPLE ARE ACCUSING ALL OF US FOR LOSS AGAINST AUSSIES.
DHONI : THAT IS WHY I KEEP ROTATING YOU SO THAT IN EVERY MATCH DIFFRENT BOWLERS ARE BLAMED FOR THE LOSS. PEOPLE FORGET ABOUT SOME BAD PERFORMANCES AFTER SOME MATCHES. SEE I WILL BRING BACK AGARKAR ALSO IN NEXT PAK SERIES. PAWAR UNCLE NE BOLA HAI.
SACHIN: I DONOT KNOW WHY EVERYBODY IS CRITISIZIN ME FOR THE LOSSES.
DHONI. THAT IS WHY YOU ARE IN THE TEAM MATE. IT IS SO GOOD FOR US. IF YOU WIN THE GAME FOR US THAT IS VERY GOOD
we want twenty 20 matches to be layed and not 50-50 odi matches.Our indian team looks so boring,dull and poor.I feel shame to be indian fan. PLease let us get along with 20 - 20 matches. i want see indians proud n winning and not losing in thier on soil..its so shamefull.
What's the use of so called `sound' technique is not yielding any results? Don't u think 44 runs from 5 consecutive matches means, he's struggling? Give him a break! Break will do hima lot good. The rotation policy does two good things by itself. It avoids early burnup due to playing excessive cricket and gives fair chances to those waiting for their turns. Afterall, Team India place nobody's birth right. You need to have it in you and perform to don India colours. It's not bestowed to someone on past laurels! There's no room for emotions and sentiments here. He's become a burden, a liability to the team now.
