Considering Munaf did not do well in the last match and Ashis currently not in the good books of Dhoni and India being dependant on Bhajji, Ash and Zak, would it not make sense to drop the second fast bowler and induct Yousuf Pathan in the team as the eigth batsmen? What do you think?

in one test match prior to 1983 world cup west indies were 3 wicket down for 1 runs but the 4 wicket fall on 234 so that way Gul may take hat trick of sachin sehwag and gambhir but what about other 8 indians they are also selected for some special qualities they have or not

1) India being dependent only on Ashwin and Zaheer only...Bajji has been worst than yuvraj or even Pathan :)
2) Munaf is medium pacer. There is nothing called fast bowler in Indian bowling line up
It is better to take Asish Nehra and Sri Sant for the semi-final. The Zahir and Munaf get pressure and become emotional and do mistakes and will try overact. That will affect game. Would not perform well
In both 1999 and 2003 world cup quarter finals against Pakistan,India's slow bowler Venkatesh Prasad did the maximum damage to the Pakistani cause,therefore not playing Munaf will be suicidal..Pakistanies are good at playing fast and spin bowlers,they find it difficult to handle bowlers who mix up fast and slow balls,and even Virat Kohli should be given 2-3 overs..so team management should think twice before dropping Munaf..

the wicketkeeper is not the one actually keeping. he suddenly developed injury so that his brother could keep

Ten bowlers and a wicket keeper? Who, then, will bat? The wicket keeper? Without another at the other end? Interesting!
