looking at the way things are going, I can see Ashwin and Raina in the place of Zaheer and Munaf, so all spin attack.. if required Medium pace can be bowled by Sachin / Dhoni and Virat

yusuf must come ahead of dhoni
specially when india is batting 1st to score a big total but looser dhoni wont let this happen bcoz of his selfish attitude for dhoni yuvi and he himself are bigger than team

Dhoni Lovers--> Yuvi, Bhajji, Piyush,Zaheer,Munaf,Raina (Deep Love)

Dhoni Haters---> Sehwag,Gambhir,Sachin,Sreesanth,Yusuf,Ashwin,Virat

Dhoni upset with Virat replacing Raina and Sehwag batting for 50 overs against Bangladesh

Navvu, you are absolutely right. I don't know what satisfies Dhoni to have Raina always irrespective of his performance.

Absolute idiotic comments... Guys get a life.. Virat is in the team due to his form... Yuvi got edge cos he can bowl better that Raina... And now what did Dhoni do wrong??? scoring 31 runs???

All dhobi & his chamchas like raina, yuvi, bhajji, nehra, chawla, praveen, Ishant, RP singh etc are useless & continue in team just beacuse of politics.
Many other deerving youngster get less chance than these dhoni's chamcha

should play 5 bowlers
by Navvu on Feb 28, 2011 12:28 PM

Drop Bhajji----he was supposed to be a wicket taking bowler

Drop Yuvi-----pathetic feilding and unfit , even canada's Balaji Rao is fitter than him

5 Bowlers should be :-

Munaf and Zak opening the bowling

Ashwin first change during power play

Sreesanth and Piyush once the power play is over

Batting Order :-

1 Sachin
2 Gambhir
3 Sehwag ( should allow veeru to play spinners, most of the time gets out before spinners come )
4 Kohli
5 Yusuf
6 Dhobi
7 Piyush
8 Zak
9 Ashwin
10 Sreesanth
11 Munaf

Warne's tweets
by Narendra Bhat on Feb 28, 2011 12:22 PM  | Hide replies

Has the game of glorious uncertainities transformed into the game of dubious certainities? Shane Warne "predicted" a tie in the India v England game yesterday before the match & in between the innings break after India scored 338. In the background of Warne's questionable background, do we dismiss this "prediction" as a bulls-eye prediction or do we smell a rat here?

possible---> everyone thought that India will win easily with 2 spinners and eng coming from a poor game against Nederlands and 6-1 washing against aussies

Will a Aussie predict Lose for ENG or a TIE ?

Your Guess

Why India Cud not win the Banglore Tie
by mahak on Feb 28, 2011 11:51 AM  | Hide replies

England Australia,india and Pakistan.
Take it Now, they are the SF.
Anybodys game from here.
But possibility of aus and ind eliminated in SF.
Pak and Eng is Hot..
Eng solely for the man called strauss.
i thot he ws test player kind.
But he is very strong personality.
Yes personalitity of Him Matters
He has all the quality of being nice,gentle, wise, n gutsy bonder... well something SA's Gsmith has. but hard luck for simith. He is not going to be there.

But again Pakistan, bcoz of its sheer joy of playing like country and gully boys cricket.
they do that once in a while talismanic and mercenary like play..

Aus out, becoz how much ever they show their intial euphoric performance, just bcoz it is not their time. They hv to die from here.

my guts feel... remember 1987 reliance cup. All these abv 4 teams were nearly there.
Eng in Gatting now they hv Straus. so its going to edge out MSD in one SF.(any way India was never world class team, bcoz not a bowler worth Salt. Poor ZAk… what alone can he Battle. Just bcoz of Indian Public, India somehow makes it last 4 n that bcoz some individual performance. Team like, They r totally Unlike. It s only I….i….i alone)

But Pak may reverse the trend unlike in 1987 Rel cup. they here will beat Aus. and to sheer excitement of all former Pak Players, this team will be in Final. And who knows the cup may b theirs. Yes Straus n his guys cannot be ignored. Cricket will be Eng Glor

Cricket will be Eng Glory again. Remember Last WC 2007. Aus were beaten black n Blue by NZ in one day series just b4 the WC. And what did they do. They were in WI to win the Cup. Smly Strauss has marshaled his team in this WC to do the same.So they too... but then pakistan..

but here is a SHOCKER... for every one. if not any of these team going to win the Cup, then see that none of the abv 4 r going to be in SF also.. they ll b shot down b4 the SF by others.

Good warmup matches For IPL
by manju nath on Feb 28, 2011 11:24 AM

Dhoni, will be happy because, these worldcup[ matches would be a practice matches before IPL, this is what the tragedy of indian cricket team, no commitment, Indians would be a biggest fools if we believe our team would get us worldcup, nod doubt as usual, semis between AUS,SA,PAK,SRIlanka(despite their loss to Pakistan, there bowling attack is good]. if india wants to win they they have to score over 500 then team will win nail bitting match, shame for the team.

Who is hurt most?
by MeetFireWithFire on Feb 28, 2011 11:09 AM

Is it the Indian fans or Indian players?

It is a sorry state to see heroes (Sehwag, Sachin) run after the ball only to give up their chases. They are not FIT at all. So is Munaf, Yuvi as well. The list is endless. It goes on and on and on. The whole Indian team is not showing any match fitness.

Flat wickets need better fielding effort if bowling is not great. Indians lack both. India for the last 30 years of ODI cricket’s history is yet to find an intimidating fast bowler who clocks more than 150 kmph consistently. For a bowler to be considered good, he should have the average to be at least less than 25. I would go as far as saying NO INDIAN bowlers in history have the average less than 25.

Indian bowlers neither have economy nor are they wicket takers.

Comical part is that INDIA is the most favorite to win the World Cup. I don’t understand the logic at all…
