I agree.I think they will definitely have a tough time with Gary during the training.They should improve their fielding skills.
Sreeshant will be in always when India wins. When he is out India loses. Please refer to the stats for the last 5 years. This may or may not be out of his performance, but this is a fact. So India will going to lose this World Cup. I am sure. Jai Sreeshant
IN THIS WC! AS SUCH THE PITCH WILL BE TAILOR MADE FOR BATTING AND BOWLERS WILL BE TAKEN TO CLEANERS! SO INDIAS CHANCES DEPEND HEAVILY ON THEIR BATSMEN UNLESS THE PITCH IS SO BADLY PREPARED!! SO THE ONUS IS ON SACHIN AND CO!!!!

I have a different take on this issue. In a 50 overs match, it is unlikely that a team gets all out. Hence stuffing with batsmen doesn't server much purpose. 4 -5 batsmen are sufficient. However bowlers can contain batsmen and also get wickets resulting in further containment. If one bowler has an off day, the other can fall in his place. Hence necessity of bowlers is much more than batsmen in one day match. Moreover bowlers can also bat. In pinch overs, it really does not matter who bats since both batsmen and bowlers have equal chance of getting runs and getting out also

PEOPLE COME TO WATCH BATSMEN HAMMERING THE BOWLER AND NOT VICE VERSA!! SO IT IS ADVANTAGE BATSMEN ALWAYS! HENCE THE PITCHES ARE MOSTLY BATSMEN FRIENDLY THAN THE OTHER WAY! SO IT IS CRUCIAL FOR THE INDIAN BATTERS TO PERFORM WELL ELSE IT WILL BE CURTAINS FOR INDIA!
Because Yusuf pathan and others can take the spinners spot. The only option where I see Piyush playing is when 2 specialist spinners and 2 fast bowlers are selected. Then also I would pick Ashwin

Anyone who clearly watched the first 2 one dayers in SA, would have vouched for Nehra over Sreeshant Dhoni preferred and got played! The writing on the wall was clear that Sreshant is not in the good books of Dhoni and he won't play World Cup! If you look at the current team, Dhoni is the weakest link in the whole team, as he never played a good knock in any of the many games in the past! Rohit, Uthappa kind of players should have been there!

Please go through Dhoni's average and srike rate and ICC position in ODI for last three years; why are you so angry with Dhoni because he is not from a big city?

when team is in crisis dhony comes at NO. 7 or 8. maybe sometimes after Harbhajan. scores 10-20* and maintains avg. never seen him taking the lead and charging. Coward captain, only an opportunist. Lucky to have a better team with a more competing scenario under his cap. Check india's performance in the last five ICC events dude
