Indian batting line up looks very formidable after Yuvi and Sehwag come back.
Still I feel India need a fast/medium pacer who can bat like Irfan Pathan. Let see what team Dhoni picks when he will want to play with Bhajji and Mishra both in playing X1.

watching form Virat Kohli is right choice. but i am suspected on Ishant sharma's Form. May be Sudeep Tyagi or Munaf Patel will fit on his place.
but due to his Record against ponting Dhoni will play him
A few days back Ian chappell said ponting is a better bat than tendulkar,as he has scored runs in tests,at a higher avg,nd sooner or later,he would conquer all of sachin's records.Although at the same time he said it would b really difficult for anyone to conquer sachin's feats in the ODI's....aussie mind games,whatsay!!!!

WRONG !!!
Ian Chappell said that for a very long time Tendulkar was the best batsman in the world although he doesn't hold that tag currently. Ponting has taken over that tag now. But Tendulkar is still on top 3.
Ponting is rightly filling gas in our players becuase he rightly knows that if he gives out hate speech, it would backfire with strong bounce back of our players.
But our players love praises and get easily carried away, so fill gas and let them float in their self-built castles of ego. Half the match is won then... You got the pulse of Indian team, Ponting !

So true... Be it any opponent, whenvr they praise our team too much our players easily gets carried away n fail miserably. This time Ponting is clever in making his comments !!
