There is plenty of Cricket left -- no need to panic

The 280 runs and BLD and 338 against England has been a caused of major concern. The Indian bowling still has not found the right combination yet, but 4 bowlers or five, the problem is Ashish Nehra's injury.

This maybe an issue in the later stages but right now
they still have to play against WI, Netherlands and the minows and we are not too concerned about the options with Sreesanth, Nehra and Chawla.

I would say wait till Nehra can be 100% ready and in the meanwhile before the semi and quarters let us juggle with Chawla and Sreesanth.

Yusuf is something that India will get if our batting is struggling in a chase and the top-order cannot fire. He can turn the match around from a seemingly hopeless situation but a fifth bowler cannot.

The combination of Zaheer, Nehra and Munaf is the best combination since Srinath, Zaheer and Nehra since the 93 WC. Munaf has been a revelation and got a lot of help in SA, but the three combined can but a serious dent in a big run chase.

Chawla is still young and maybe against the minnows for the next few games Sreesanth can be a back up before Nehra recovers. The attack is too spin centric with Chawla, Harby and the part-timers. We play SA until March 12 and enough time for Nehra to recover, until then Sreesanth is a good option with Yusuf still in and going with 3 seamers.

This time no Tendulkar

We don't need Tendulkar for this world cup

We can do better without him

Look when the entire team was fighting very strong in today's match...

He was sitting in the pavillion and Raina feilding for him

Please remove this mad$ar#ch@o$d from the team
I am not supporting India because of tendulkar a lot of praise goes to him when the other 10 do their best

So finally when he has not won us the last 5 world cup's what is he going to do this time
