Horses for courses is probably what was in the mind of selectors while picking the squad. Its a good team and strong enough to WIN. Probably BHAJJI and JINX will sit and watch the entire W20 from the pavilion. I personally doubt if NEGI is better bowler that YUVRAJ and his batting skills is yet under the wrap in the international level. One must have faith in the capabilities of NEGI and selectors. MOHNISH PANDEY is unlucky that he did not find a place. He could have been a perfect replacement for YUVRAJ if he could deliver with the ball. I am little surprised with the fact that there is no second wicket keeper in the team. I just hope that the format is too short that its never a requirement.

In world Cup T20 tourney, u need just 5-6 batsmen, icluding allrounders. So in whatever capacity Negi is in the team, it hardly matters, for he is unlikely to find a place in the playing XI. No need to make a fuss about Negi's inclusion.
People was unnecessarily discussing about Manish Pande's inclusion .
Manish Pande or Rahane cannot replace Yuvraj since Yuvraj is selected as an all rounder like Jadeja .
Those crucial 2-3 overs Yuvi bowls are very vital & gives extra bowling options to MSD .
Mark my words , even Rahane / Pandya will sit out of playing 11 but not Yuvraj .
And moreover , if anyone is thinking that Yuvraj / Raina has passed their peak or are struggling or weak against short pitched are biggest fools .
Now pitch them short even with 150 kmph & see the ball landing is stands for six as Shaun Tait saw in AUS .
See , no batsman can perform in 100 percent innings he plays but still this team is very good , only thing is that one leg spinner should have been there in the team .

Yuvaraj especially on Indian wickets has bowled better than many of the Indian spinners.As Yuvaraj is a certainty due to his all round abilities, Manish Pandey could not have got selected into the eleven. Rahane is perhaps selected because he can be a backup for the openers in case one gets injured. The team misses a leg spinner.

What happened yesterday? Either you were sleeping or was under influence of booz?
