even i feel the same; btw - even a score of 250 is good enough to defend
The best team for the game against Sri Lanka is 1. Sewhag. 2. Tendulkar. 3. Virat Kolhi or Gambhir. 4. Raina. 5. Yuvraj Singh. 6. Yusuf Pathan. 7. Dhoni. 8. Ashwin. 9. Zaheer. 10. Harbhajhan. 11. Sreesanth.
• Munaf & Nehra did not bow exceptionally well yesterday as many people think. It was due to the Pitch conditions, Semi-Final pressure and most importantly the weak batting order of the Pakistan team that led to their downfall.
It’s great news that Nehra is already out of the world cup due to injury. Surely, Ashwin will replace him inspite of Dhoni’s antics.
• Gambhir/Kolhi should be replaced with Pathan, & Munaf should be replaced with Sreesanth. With this combination, we can comfortable beat Srilanka. With the same combination, India would have won against Pakistan with a margin of more than 50 runs.
• Since, Srilanka having a better batting lineup than Pakistan & also their batting order extends upto N0-7 in Mathews; it would be foolish if Dhoni plays with the same team that played against Pakistan. Let’s hope that Dhoni selects the best team.
If Sri Lankans foolishly play an injured Murali instead of Randhiv (Who is a quality bowler) & oldie Chaminda Vaas instead of Mathews/Dilhara Fernando, India can beat Sri Lanka comfortably.
