Nehra who had played well in last world cup since then where has he been disappeared & Balaji who had played well with pakistan he has also lost in news.
Eating potatoes are harmful to health... Likewise playing with Sachin is harmful because he is a self-centred player with team's need coming a distant second
Why blame Tendulker if he makes money, his earning is nothing compared to sports person gets in America or other countries.
Actually it's good if he earns money, it will give respect to cricket. Cricket isn't really played in many countries.
Tendulker is not that good at chasing and he hasn't helped India win big matches like Ponting, Inzamam or Fleming but he is the highest run scorer in oneday cricket. No doubt he will play for another 3-4 years and set many records. Ya, heard..

though sreesanth helped india score a record test victory in SA, he is not that consistant and cannot be relied on in the biggest tournament in cricket. we saw what happened to zaheer khan in the world cup final ...... and we saw what happed in the first over sreesanth bowled in the 3rd one day. so my best bet would be to have both bhajji and kumble since WI tracks these days are slow and assist spinners and not like old days where fast bowlers were ruling the roost.

Balaji, You were pointing out that Sreesanth is not suitable for biggest tournament in cricket. Though he has not much experience in the cricket he is well fit to play now, i think. What is need of two spin bowlers in the West indies pitch. Kumble is enough his experience will help us to win the matches.

sree santh is never good bowler in odi, SA some how gods grace he took 18 wicket and TOO much media hype, He runs per over in ODI IS 6.5, SO not fit for final 11, that too we seen last tour of india in west indies spinners will do good job and even gangulay and sachin can also do good job of medium pace as well as mixed spin bowling, i accpet sree santh did fair job, but not that much qulaity, if we see the same agarkar did a very good job in last tour of austraila( even we are very near to win test series) kumable too excellant job, But no media hype for kumbale and ajit, i dont know, i think the media is dominated by the communist people, that y too much hype for ganguly and sreesanth, please leave the player Boss, they will do their duties
