Never ever expose Yusuf Pathan, Uthappa and Manoj Tiwary to any international side. They are fit to play in Ranji Trphy and Duleep trophy cricket. Their batting against friendly pace of England team shows how immature these cricketers are in spite of playing so many matches. We need players like Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina who at least shine one i8n three matches they play.

Instead of Uthappa - Vijay should have been selected to open. In place of Tiwary, Rohit Sharma Shold have been selected. Yusuf Pathan, no mistake in selection. he should play in indian conditions.
Dhoni is a very good captain. But sometimes, overconfident. he should give the new ball to Pravin kumar, to take initial wickets...!! it was surprised me, Pravin bowled only one over.. that too very late.

dhoni is worst captain surviving on luck 7 manipulation. see his batting & captaincy record overseas. he never desrve a place in team based on merit
PRAVEEN kumar sorts of player SHOULD NOT PLAY when pietersen sorts of players are playing. Praveen got too friendly to expose his moves to enemy acting as friend and that being likes of Peitersen. Yusuf and uttapa cannot face the fast pace.

dhoni can't hit from ball 1 & hence misfit for T-20 intnl. even after playing 28 matches- dhoni has no fifty or match winning inning in t-20. his strike rate is very low at 105. any other player with this type of consistent failure could have been dropped- but who will dare to drop politicain dhoni
Flop shows of dhoni in T-20 intnl continues. He can't hit ball right from start & tahts why his record in T-20 is pathetic. After playing 28 T-20 intnl, he has not played a single match winning inning in T-20. Also he has no fifty in T-20 intnl. His strike is very low at 105. It is apathetic for any batsman in T-20 batting at his no. Even as captain his performasnce is very poor. After fluke win in 1st wcup India has lost 70% of T-20 intnl including shameful 1st round exit in 2008/2010 wcup loss loosing all matches. Many of looses has taken place in T-20 intnl beacuse of slow batting of dhoni. This match as well as all matches in 2008/2010 wcup india lost due to slow batting of manipulator dhoni. He is very selfish & his intention is always to remain not out. That politics works in ODI but it always back fires in T-20. His test record also pathetic. But selector doesn't ahve guts to drop him in test & T-20 courtsey add contract. On merit he desrve place only in ODI on indian pitches & rest all format he is laibility for last 7 yrs.
