This worldcup schedule is cleverly drawn to ensure India will make in last eight stage. They have to win minimum three matches with 2 minnows and three weak tems. if we make QF, all credit will go to Dhoni and Tendulkarand media will report the greatness of Tendulkar; thats all.

1.Munaf can't complete his bowling quota. 2.He never looks to go for wickets. 3.No Variety 4.No speed
When a bowler bowls with 125-130kph he should have swing to deceive batsman like P.Kumar. But Munaf is just like a part time bowler.

Munaf stats are not bad compared to any other Current Indian fast bowler except Zak meanwhile Nehra and Sree are no Better fielders than Munna
Re: Re: Bowler
by Rajesh Gupta on Feb 17, 2011 11:47 AM
You are right! Munna is better one change bowler and Nehra is best at the top and Sree can't bowl 3-4 good bowl in a over.

Yes, I Agree.
1. It should be Laxman First place in the 15 instead of D Mongia
2. India always played 7 Batsman and the 7th Batsman is D Mongia
3. India played Anil Kumble in just 3 Matches who have bowled really well than any other bowlers in that 3 matches and he sit out for the Final, Such a Shame
4. Electing to Field after Winning the Toss in a Batting paradise

Team for matches is not important. The selected 15 deserve to be in team except Munaf
Re: Re: India may go with 2 seamer only
by Senthil on Feb 17, 2011 11:24 AM
You just forgot how good he bowled in SA and even Y'day he is the Best Economy Bowler of the seamer's
He is the only 2nd seamer having a E rate of lessthan 6 after Zak in the last 2 years

Ganguly is not Captain of India now. His blunders already cost a World Cup for India in 2003 Team Selection and Choosing Bowling in the Final.

@Senthil u cant blame only Ganguly for loosing in the final....its was not India's day by the way...& it was raining heavily in Johanesburg before start of the match..so after Winning the toss every captain who ever won the toss want to bowl first..thats why he took that decision to bowl first in that particular match...but luck was not thr..
Anyways his captaincy India was finalist in the 2003 WC...Much better captaincy records in WC than Azharuddin in 1992,19996, 1999 & Rahul Dravid in 2007...
After Kapil Dev still he is the best captain for India in WC...Please remember that..

I infact rate Ganguly as the Best Captain of India however his Blunder cost us one World Cup. Any1 will make mistakes and Ganguly is not an Exception.
The Reasons why It's Blunder are
1. It should be Laxman First place in the 15 instead of D Mongia
2. India always played 7 Batsman and the 7th Batsman is D Mongia
3. India played Anil Kumble in just 3 Matches who have bowled really well than any other bowlers in that 3 matches and he sit out for the Final, Such a Shame
4. Electing to Field after Winning the Toss in a Batting paradise
Re: India may go with 2 seamer only
by Vikas Banga on Feb 17, 2011 11:13 AM
Yeah I agree. It is becoming more and more evident that India should play two spinners.
Ashwin or Chawla instead of Munaf Zad and Sree should play
Re: Re: India may go with 2 seamer only
by Senthil on Feb 17, 2011 11:20 AM
Yep, That is likely. I think Chawla vs Ashwin is another headache selection for the team management now
Re: Re: Re: Re: India may go with 2 seamer only
by Senthil on Feb 17, 2011 11:25 AM
I also, he can bowl in any kind of Situation however he need to improve his Bowling and his Batting is also a Bonus

Dhoni has given hint..... by Anurag Rathore (View MyPage) on Feb 17, 2011 10:41 AM | Hide replies
1.Virat will get preference over Raina 2.Sreesanth has to be in limit 3.Part timers will play big role
So I think in first match Raina will sit on bench.
Re: India may go with 2 seamer only
by Rajesh Gupta on Feb 17, 2011 11:14 AM
You are right! But I think with Zaheer, Nehra is better option as because he is a wicket taking bowler.
Re: Re: India may go with 2 seamer only
by Senthil on Feb 17, 2011 11:19 AM
Nehra? Are you sure? You meant that No.10 and No.11 batsman bowled? Come on, he has done well in the absence of Zak but not any more by form Sree and Munna ahead of Nehra now
Re: Re: Re: India may go with 2 seamer only
by Rajesh Gupta on Feb 17, 2011 11:24 AM
Do you know that Nehra was selected in top 15 members and Srisant is included later after the injury of PK. Either selectors have not enough knowledge or you are missing something.
Re: Re: Re: Re: India may go with 2 seamer only
by Senthil on Feb 17, 2011 11:31 AM
Read the words correctly. " Nehra? Are you sure? You meant that No.10 and No.11 batsman bowled? Come on, he has done well in the absence of Zak but not any more by form Sree and Munna ahead of Nehra now"
When Selectors went for him due to his reputation and his form however since the NZ ODI Series he hits his lowest form and it meant he went down the order while the other bowlers performed better than him.
Selectors order is right and you don't need 2 left arm seamer since you are going to play with only 2 seamer's so a Left and right is perfect combination as well
Re: Re: Re: India may go with 2 seamer only
by Rajesh Gupta on Feb 17, 2011 11:27 AM
You are right! But he is better attacking bowler. Munaf is great line & length bowler, but no suited for power play. Srisant, he can't bowl 4 good balls in one over.
Re: Re: Dhoni Says Kohli will play at No.6
by Senthil on Feb 17, 2011 11:13 AM
The team management decided to Rest Raina and Kohli at No.4 now however If Yuvi Hit form and Take his place at No.4 than Kohli will be completely dropped from the Team since Raina is a better Batter in the lower down the order.
Re: Re: Dhoni Says Kohli will play at No.6
by Chirag P on Feb 17, 2011 11:10 AM
Yuvi is brilliant with his bowling these days u know U cant sit him out from any match. YP is the right person to sit out because he is not consistent and trustable...thats it Im fan of him but Im bigger fan of India rather than him

hi..wat a match it was last night..arsenal came from behind and scored 2 goals against so called best team in the world "barcelona"
I think Sachin is very important for the team. But what I am trying to say here is that Dhoni is even more important Wicket-keeper,Captain, Batsman (In more difficult stages) Sachin should play 50 overs. But obviously he cant do it in every match. So it is the duty of Dhoni to build the innings. Because other than Dhoni may be only Gambhir Can do it
Re: Sachin and Dhoni
by suppandi on Feb 17, 2011 11:10 AM
while dhoni does the role of Wicket keeper, sachin will be fielding & if required he can bowl too
Well said! Now days .. Every tom and harry ..wanted to blame master blaster....no matter whotever they say.. Sachin will remain always best player...and will shut their mouths from his bat.. as he always did..
