If India need to attain any success in onlgong World T20, they must kick Murli Vijay out and bring Dinesh Kartik as an opening batsman; not to omit Rohit Sharma from the playing XI; must include 3 mediuam pacers and Bhajji as spinner, the fifth bowler could be made out of the allrounders. They must bat first( if they win toss) and post a big score around 200 mark to have any hope to win this do or die game. All the best to Team India! Thanks

Please don't make it an issue of north, south, east or west, Murli Vijay can just play against weak bowling. He can't play the bast pace bowlers from Australia and South Africa at all. It was evidenced from his poor performance against South Africa in Test Match Series and now in T20 world against South Africa and Austrlian bowlers; duck and one run;what a shame! Please just take India as one country not spoil the future of cricket by indulging in regional things. That is why India's performance in the past has been poor due to these regional considerations. In my view, even, Srikant the Chairman of teh Selection Committe should be dismissed immediately and the cricket genious like Gavasker or Ravi Shastri or G Vishwanath or Kapil Dev should be brough on the Selection Committe. Thanks

Why target Murali Vijay when Gambir,Yusoof,raina and dhoni failed?
1. We are not getting good opening partnership which is very important. In my opinion Murli Vijay should sit out for upcoming matches. Ghambir is also not in form but he has proven in past. He needs to take some tips from coach.
2. We don't have any quallity bowlers except Harbhajan, Nehra and Zaheer. If one of them don't play well on a day we easily loose match.
3. Ravindra Jadeja is not mature enough to play in team. He needs to go and play Ranji. Chawla will be better replacement. He has gained good experience from English country cricket.
4. Dhoni and Yuvraj are the most experience guys they should play responcibly. They have capability to destroy any bowling attack. Also dhoni should also give Yuvraj 2-3 overs to bowl.
I am happy to see Rohit and Raina in superb form. Good luck for next two must win matches.

Murli Vijay can't bat at all against the pace bowling of Australia and South Adfrica. He made just one run against South Africa and was out for DUCK agianst Australia. If India qualified for super 8, it was only due to Suresh Raina that he made his century at a very high strike rate. So, Murli must be kicked out of all form of the game in International cricket otherwise India would never win matches. We all know he is the creation of Srikant who selected jokers like Murli Vijay and Saha to cause India a shemeful defeat in the hands of South Africa in Test cricket. Mr. Hindihater, please mind your language when you post something on a public domain. Might be your family also reads your language which might not be good for teenagers or children to read.
Indian players should only play IPL and not bother about other matches.What others may be earning in an year, Indian players can earn from IPL.There is no incentive to play and perform in other competitions.Its a shame India's young and talented team is no match for veteran Aussie players
Dhoni elected to bowl first. This article is not intended to question that decision, although I am convinced that ‘bat first’ is always the best call.
One other decision he made is perplexing: going with only 3 specialist bowlers. India had 8 specialist batsmen to be followed by Harbhajan and Zaheer, and yet were the reluctant brides when they had the choice of batting first. Reminds one of Ganguly’s Hamlet act, in the ODI WC 2007 final. Read more at cricinfosite(dot)com
If the Indian team think-tank want to keep playing Yusuf Pathan then I feel he should open the batting against WI. One thing we can't deny is the fact that Yusuf has raw power and can whack balls at will. Opening the batting will not put any pressure on him and I am sure he will do well. Playing for Rajasthan Royals in IPL is different to this. Here he is playing for India and it's time Gary Kirsten and MS Dhoni provide some leverage to Yusuf.
Murali Vijay has to play throughout this competition because all these failures will put him in good stead in the future. Chopping and changing the line up at this point in the tournament is pointless. India as well take the next plane back home.
