I appreciate Dhoni for being a listener to his hart rather then what people say around him. Every one is talking (experts and general public) about Yusuf snd Ashwin's inclusion but surprisingly he is going for Srisanth ! He knows Srisanth hasn't played the game for a while but he also comfortable with 3-1 bowling combination and not 2-2 combination. He considers 2 specialist spinners as a luxury and thinks it will reduce his options in case one fast bowler out of 2 have a bad day. Although I don't like the idea of 3 fast bowlers on Indian soil and consider it a luxury but Dhoni think otherwise. He thinks 3 bowlers can be handy in evening and in night on Wankhede stadium as sea breeze will help fast bowlers rather then a spinner! That is what I like in Dhoni the Gut Feeling guy who exactly know what HE WANTS and take responsibility of his decisions. I hope his decision to include Srisanth prove fruitful for India and being a cricketer I want Sachin to lift the trophy because He is a great Ambassador of this great game and a roll modal for many !

a) Dhoni should bat first because the pitch will be similar to Mohali & Motera and is expected to deteriorate by second innings
b) Nehra is out so he isnt a choice.
If we bat first, we must pick Ashwin because pitch will turn as match progresses
If we bowl first, we can pick sreesanth as pitch will not turn that much and sreesanth is traditionally good with newball on a fresh pitch.
very impressed by indian bowling and fielding in last match. just do same.pressure was created by fielding virat and raina fielding superb in cover region.
