I would rather replace dhawan by manoj thiwari or murali vijay (as they want to perform, whereas dhawan technique flaws exposed at critical time) , Ambati rayudu, stuart binny are risk taking players to score 20-30 runs... sehwag is exception he plays many shots with perfection not blind... , raina disappointing show in the recent series... Jadeja should not be ignored as he is there all these days.. so if used well he is the best alrounder.. yuvi and sehwag are old players to play at 1st and 6th or 7th position, you can keep old players who can play no.3 or 4 who has solid technique like mahela jayawadene who are expected play long innigs so in that case yuvi and sehwag not belong to those charecteristics.. so let us not look back so much.. , what i feel about indian team is very casual about Tests and 50 over format specialists are decreasing... , lets hope we do not lose to pak this time then we are surely can lift our face..

This is objective. As transition is going on we need to be patient for the players to deliver. Dhawan and Raina are aggressive players and only they need to perform with little patience and application.Jadeja is not fully fit and is out of so many matches. Yuvraj could have been an ideal chance as he is experience, fit and playing still in domestic cricket. He has the passion to perform. IF Jadeja is sent back, yuvraj should be brought in
when you enter a prestigious tournament like the WC, what ever happened even an hour before the first match begins will be forgotten by even the lowly performing teams. if the big teams think they could outsmart both ind and pak, then they are doing so at their own peril. who ever wins this first match, will get their respective lost confidences back. i believe ll the three asian teams will be there in the semis.
