From the outset team has not been selected on merits. When Sehwag's injury gave opportunity for a player, there should be sent an experience player and who is better than Uthappa to match aggression of Sehwag. Murali Vijay is still untested player in international arena less in World T20. Second if you want a quality spinners why the hell you did not select Ojha or for that matter a spinner like Mishra who had done better than Chawala whose googly spins more than his stock ball (leg spin). Now how much time you will give to Yusuf Pathan to perform against quality international side on the basis his show on low, slow, spin friendly tracks of India in IPL. And in last Gambhir has to deliver otherwise everybody say that he is only capable when Sehwag is their, every team formulates strategy to tackle Sehwag and nobody bothers to put a plan for Gambhir and he took the benefits of their laxity. Now when Sehwag is not around, it is quite curious to see how many match he required to perform?
Apart from that, give yousuf pathan a decent chance. when he comes to bat, india are already in trouble and expect yusuf to do a miracle. send hoim as an opener or 1 or 2 down and give him chance to settle and express himself. VIJAY AND JADEJA SHOULD BE BANNED. ALSO PLAY PIYUSH CHAWLA. my team
1) gambhir 2) uthappa 3) raina 4) rohit 5) yuvi 6) dhoni 7) yusuf 8) bhajji 9) zaheer 10) piyush/vinay 11) nehra. ONLY THEN WE HAVE A CHANCE TO ENTER SEMIS AND WIN WORLDCUP.
FAKE INJURY FOR PATHETIC VIJAY AND EXCHANGE HIM WITH UTHHAPA. ARE THE BRAINLESS SELECTORS and DHOBI/DHONI LISTENING?
The fact is indian team lost the match before it stepped on the field. When you know aussies dont like spin and leave out one of your better spinners from the team (Chawla), you know are playing into the hands of the opposition.
Then again, Tait can be easily put off his length - cause he doenst have a length. But none of the indian players wanted to stay there for a few overs and see what they can do.
It shows when you have quality players like Dravid, Sachin and Utthappa and leave them out and choose bums like Jadeja and Pathan that have no international experience and introduce bowlers that have never player international cricket into a world cup squad, you have to think there is a nut loose in the selectors of this team - that includes Dhoni and the Coach and sreekanth headed selection committe.
Kick this selection committee out and examine Dhoni and Kristen's head with a good doctor and perhaps india will have a chance.
We need to pick players that can win the tournament. That is what every other team in this tournament has done. This is not time to give an untested player like Vinay Kumar or a new bowler a free tour of the west indies.

India had an off day yesterday against some oz bodyline bowling, but today indians will be ready with their pull and hook shots. The westindies can say goodbye to their hometown tournament
