I am shocked every one is telling we do not have a genuine allrounder. Irfan Pathan and Yousuf Pathan have been match winners in the past. Every player whether it is Sachin or Sehwag have some areas to work upon some time or the other. Why not the Coach Kirsten and others work on Irfan Pathan and Yousuf Pathan to bring out their best. Just imagine if both of them play to their potential they can single handedly take the match from the opposition. Unfortunately our coach and all the persons who matter are typecasting them like a passive journalist "they are not in form" and have for gotten that Irfan and Yousuf were the man of the match in many a victories by India. It is high time that our coach switches his mode from passively typecasting both the all rounders and start actively inspiring them and working on them to be an asset to our Indian team

what a joker you guys are...these is not IPL.this is 50 over world cup match... how many matches these so called alrounder (yosuf patan) got man of the match or very good bowler.. he is hyped becasue of he use to hit the USeless 2 or 3 rd grade bowlers....he never played any good bowler in crictal match .. he is fit for only club level matches...
Need Kapildev / Imran Khan / Botham/ Khallis like allrounder. Not able to find replacement of KapilDev from 18 years . 1983 is won bcos of allounders like Kapil, amarnath, etc etc.
As per the Batting Order: Shewag Sachin Gauti/Virat(one in better form should play) Yuvraj Raina Dhoni Yusuf/Ashwin(Yusuf simply bcoz WC in Sub conti) Praveen Harbhjan Zaheer Nehra/Ishant
Robin(back up keeper cum batsman) Total 15 member squad above(Ojha misses out for Ashwin either is good ashwin has better batting skills)
