Poor Teams Kits
by Shahzib Gul on Mar 16, 2011 12:46 PM

ICC needs to do something about teams kits colors. i think 1992 world cup light kits color were the best to be re-introduced.

Meaningless selection!

World's best batsman and successful opener at no. 4,
Best allrounder (on the basis of recent performance) Yuvi not in the team and
Raina is selected (why, is any specific reason or some special knock recently)..

When you meet the best teams from now on, it is better to start with Viru&Gauti, with Kohli to follow and Sachin at 4. It keeps momentum throught the 50 overs. Otherwise momentum would be lost by 40 overs. Raina builds innings well. He is better batter cum stroke player than Yuvi. Raina is bit more consistant than Yuvi. He can also be used as part-time bowler if needed.

keeping yuvi out n bringing raina in place of him is blind decison!..sachin should open,,play where it plays best! sachin has potential to play full overs and can carry the momentum!1

Raina v/s Virat
by man nu on Mar 16, 2011 12:39 PM  | Hide replies

India need Raina instead of Virat bcz virat role is insignificant at no 4 after sachin/viru/goti also Raina can play part time bowler role and provied place for third fast bowler.Virat inclusion is only point of upset team india format/performance for WC what do u think..?

I am agree on some points.. I would also like to try Raina as because he is the best fielder and his body language is best in the team.. but I would like him in place of Gambhir instead of Kohli, as because Gambhir is not fitted at no. 3 and very poor fielder at this age..

India can win any match, only if............

Sharad Pawar carry suitcases full of money to fix the world cup for Indian team. While other team start tasting success on sub-continent pitches, Indian jokers struggled to register some convincing victories. They are focus on IPL matches.

Knock Out Stage of World Cup 2011
by Udesh Kumar Vij on Mar 16, 2011 11:36 AM  | Hide replies

I think it is the crunch time for India now as it is now or never and they have to win 4 matches in succession to win the world cup - I will like to have following team playing in batting order -

1. Sachin Tendulkar
2. Virender Sehwag
3. Goutam Gambhir
4. Mahinder Singh Dhoni
5. Yuvraj Singh
6. Suresh Raina
7. Yusuf Pathan
8. Harbhajan Singh
9. Ravichandran Ashwin
10. Zaheer Khan
11. Shreesanth

Any takers for this team - Simple logics being used are -

a) Though Kohli is in very good form i have not included him in my team as my top 3 are in great nick and there is very little left for kohli to do at 4. in my opinion raina is a better player at no. 6 than kohli on indian pitches. In fact MSD should come at 4 and control game from there. So you have stroke players at 1,2,3, and 5,6,7 with no. 4 in MSD controlling the game in between and is a very good runner in between wickets. In bowling i have chosen Ashwin over Piyush as he can bowl with lot of variety and and is more mature to handle pressure and can bowl even in power plays. The support to Zaheer is with Shreesanth. You can not discard a bowler on one performance against Bangladesh. He is much better than an unfit Nehra and a fit Munaf bowling at 120 - 125 kph in indian conditions at flat pitches. Munaf at the best can bowl when there is no poewr play and you have fielders on boundary. In my bowling option you have wicket taking bowers in zak, ashwin, bhajji and shreesanth. Hope this team can win world cup. Cheers ...

All good except ShreeSanth. He is out of form. Better to go with Munaf or Nehra. You can't write Nehra off for just one last over.

Team is perfect. Just make one minor change. Make Sachin or Viru take the Captancy. MSDs leadership just sucks. He's as dictator rather than a good captain.
