'This is a settled team', said Dhoni recently. But the fact of the matter is nothing is settled. Opening batting Middle order Bowling Nothing is settled. India won the world cup at home and the CT on pitches which were 'surprisingly subcontinental', according to many observers in England. Add to that the captain's unwillingness to try anything new.
Wonder who is backing an useless bowler like Ishant, Ashwin can be retained for his batting capabilities but not Ishant. In the best interest of the reputation of indian team Ishant should be handed over the tickets back to India. He has never been a lucky charm for India.
FOR THE LAST MANY MATCHES ISHANT IN NOT CONSISTENT, HE HAS GIVEN MORE RUNS PER WICKET, ASHWIN IS NOT AMONG WICKETS FOR LAST MANY MATCHES AND RAINA IS ALSO NOT CLICKED AS PER REQUIREMENT OF HOUR. ROHIT IS ALSO NOT AMONG RUNS AT OPENING SO HE SHOULD BAT DOWN THE ORDER AND RAHANE SHOULD COME UP THE ORDER. RAIDU SHOULD GET CHANCE WITH ISHWAR PANDE AND UMESH YADAV. 4 BOWLERS AND 7 BATSMAN SHOULD PLAY IN ALL REMAINING MATCHES AND WE SHOULD BAT FIRST IF WE WIN TOSS.
