Really don;t know why the above players got selected into team. Ashwin is part of indian team for a long team and never played a single match with South Africa. I believe he is also like another Dinesh Karthik or Vijay Murali who failed 98 times after getting 100 opportunities. Instead of Ashwin, selectors could have gone for either Manish Pandey or S tiwari. I believe our batting line up is good but there are no backups in case of injuries. Instead of patel, selectors could have opted for Sreesanth. Also Ohja is a better option over Chawla.
We all waiting for good cricket form indian crecket team, our captain has to work hard in this kind sitution, some time he is making some changes and due to that our team in trouble. before doing the change 100 time has to be think and do it - julius.
Why all the Pak league matches are going to be held in Sri Lanka? Ans:- ICC has given opportunity to the Sri Lankans to do Tit-for-Tat to Pak team; (Referring to the attack on the Sri Lankan team in Pakistan)
What do one expect the Chairman of the selection committee to say about the team they have picked for WC. They have goofed up by picking Chawla and Praveen Kumar. So we can expect matches India plays with 10 players only. Let us wait and see how our team will perform on the field.
Speaking of K Srikkanth, the Indian chairman of selectors, forgetting his position momentarily, recently lashed out at the selection of the Indian team for the World Cup. "It's ridiculous", he bellowed, looking dangerously close to breaking out into an impromptu Tamil folk song. "No reserve wicketkeeper, a legspinner who doesn't bowl legspin, and no place in the squad for S Sreesanth, leaving him with enough free time to compose and inflict awful songs on an unsuspecting public. What were the selectors thinking? -Anand Ramachandran,cricinfo

India will beat australia in final. Sachin and Sehwag will blast to get us the cup of absolute joy
every india wish to win this WC, but the selections of Chawla and ashwin have really gone wrong, there were lots of much more talented young players who r not getting chance. we will be missing uthappa, sharma, sreesant in action. they deserve to be in team, really bad.
