Yes, I m satisfy with Mr. Sarfaraz.Why Mohd. Kaif has no place in World cup squad??He is an xcellent fielder first.We shouldn't forgot the last world cup,where MOHD. KAIF change the result of 2 matches.That's was a fantastic and amazing catch of INZAMAM in Pakistan Match..

Because he has not yet recovered from injury to the point where he can even play regularly for his home state.

the selecter has no idea about it,I think they forget it because they had take more alcohol before night.
Rahul Dravid mentioned before the game that the players are more relaxed now that the WC team is announced. With so much money at stake, it is no wonder that players tighten up, when their selection is in question. We seem to be seeing the effects today in the field too so far, Would be nice to see them following up with the bat.
Anyone wondering why Sehwag hasn%u2019t come on to bowl yet? One of the points mentioned in his favor through out was that he can come on as a change bowler and choke up on the runs especially on slow wickets. We seem to be overworking tendulkar a bit here.

kaif is too good at fielding than batting..we need good batsman with fielder

even Sehwag is a good batsmen but he is out of form,so the selectors should have taken Kaif insted of Sehwag.

Kaif should have been included in the fifteen. His fielding is a delight to watch along with Yuvraj Singh. He is a fast runner between wickets and could have claimed two wickets running the batsmen out by his direct throws. The question is if you select him whom to drop? Perhaps, Uthappa should not have been taken.

yuvaraj and kaif save around 30-40 runs by fielding against the opponent team. so i think fielding is also must like batting n bowling

Parthiv is a player. Dont underestimate and dont critisis him. If he could have given chance he could have done better than our senior players at least one or two matches.

he he he tere ko kya paagal kutte ne kata h? parthiv means stable n he is always stable behind stumps (never moves). so how can u put a stand for such an ugly player?

Pinch hitter and Parthiv? Accept it dear Parthiv fan that he would never fit the slot. Personally I liked him in the test squad but we all must agree that the current two of Dhoni and Kaarthik are better. At least at the moment.
Can any one tell me who is behind the Sehwag? Why we are trying to many trial with sehwag. I think Sehawag will open in WC although he score or not.. Poor Uthappa..At least yahi to hai Indian politics...

dravid and selectors are behind sehwag because they thinks that sehwag is a match winner,

We can use him as Pincher to pinch the players when they play badly. Other than that little parthiv can not do more :) No offense to him, he is too little ( a baby! ) in the big man's game.. i wont be as harsh as edison though..sure partiv can play a lot of cricket in his backyard with his bunnies.
RE:team for world cup
by Stephen DSouza on Feb 14, 2007 11:58 AM Permalink
I totally agree with you. If he was not selected, then there would be hue and cry why he was dropped? Sehwag, at his best, even sometimes at his worst, can be a match winner. Remember, the last world cup finals. Chasing a mammoth score and having got Tendulkar early, the Aussies were already celebrating. It was Sehwag who puts the breaks by repeatedly smashing all their bowlers to the boundary ropes.
