Why is Praveen Kumar marginalized always ? He is one of the best limited overs bowlers I have ever seen. The line and length, change in pace is always impeccable. He seldom gives width to the batsman and very economical even against master blasters like Jayasuriya. He is way better than the likes of Irfan Pathan (who is a very mediocre and toothless bowler) and he is a good bat too. He should be an automatic pick for the next match.
India lost the match bcause they were overaggresive.Rohit shud be removed and Badrinath shud be chosen.This Indian team is capable of bouncing back and i hope they will do it
The problem with this team is other than Gambhir, the rest are all dashers...bang bang types. The balance can be restored with either Sachin or Badri replacing Rohit. Otherwise, the performance will be inconsistent. Some big wins and some losses like this. On the bowling front, India needs Pravin Kumar i/o Irfan Pathan.

We will be back next match. Only thing is, replace Rohit Sharma with Ravindra Jadeja. Rohit needs to go back to domestic cricket. Doesnt grab his opportunities. Waste of a talent!
I don't think he is keen at playing cricket! If you look at his expressions on the field, it seems like he is not enjoying at all and has that grim look on his face.
can any one say wheher irfan pathan performed in internatinal cricket even once in previous year with ball? Praveen kumar who performs each time given a ball always find missing from the line up. Cant understand the logic. same with Rohit sharma, one more bower say munaf should have found place instead. Dhoni should stop considering part time bowlers as regular bowlers.

Agree with you. Dhoni is too defensive because Irfan is a better bastman than Praveen. I cant see any other reason. Re. Rohit, I think the role is not clear. He should be more defensive. But now, the time is up for him to make way for either Sachin or Badri.

I think you must be Ms.Tathagata.Don't try to use your brain, because you don't have that.
What i feel is that Irfan Pathan should not be given chance in T20 till he brings back his accuracy. Let hin play one dayers and tests to bring back his confidence in biwling.

Irfan Pathan should only concentrate TV shows like - E K k h i l a d i e k H a s e e n a. Not fit for playing anymore

Praveen Kumar is a tricky bowler who continiously uses his head and consistent with a decent pace and line...He should replace Irfan.

Rohit Sharma is also an lame duck, Not an single useful innings since long time has come from his bat.
