In fact, even more important than bowling is the fielding. You can easily save 50 runs and control the flow of runs/break partnerships from forming and do a whole lot of things if the fielding is good.
One guy like Jonty Rhodes can spread terror in the batsman's mind on whether to go for the shots or not.
Azhar was a strong proponent of good fielding, but it never gained much importance after his exit from the team.
Congrats Dhoni over entering the Finals. Dhoni seems to have got the final eleven right. Even now it may be a toss between PKumar and Ghoni. On this flat wicket SL seems to have slight edge with their better bowling attack. Better fielding and catches are must for India to win considering that both, our pacers and spinners are struggling on this flat wicket. One observation---Yuvraj seems to be playing a bit too early his CUT shot , the balls outside the off-stumps. He has got out umpteen times caught by the WK this way. He is our best finisher and needs to play longer innings.

Not in a final. The pressure and stakes are higher. Besides, if the total is close to 350, loss of a couple of wickets and an asking run rate around 8 will almost always topple the indian batsmen. WC final 2003 is enough proof.
I listen to the commentry of Ramiz Raja and Wasim Akram during the matches between India Vs Pakistan and India Vs Srilanka and I understand that these two comentators are partial towards pakistan and they are not loyal comentators. ICC should n't encorage such things

If they are partial towards Pakistan, they are indeed "loyal" commentators. Did you have a different word in mind?

Listen to Gavaskar when Tendulkar is batting. You will know how "unbiased" he is.

Hey what is doing great, he is the first captain who are complaining about schedule,all teams are playing into international cricket but no body complains because indians are more keen in adcontracts....So better to observe things before saying anyone good
Rafael Nadal, when he flexes his left arm's uscles after completing a double fisted backhand Crosscourt shot, makes all the girls overflow. Their is no sexier sportsman in the world at present.

Yes sure, murali, vaass and mendis in bowling and jaisuray, sangakara, jayawardne in batting...looking unbeatable when they will play with full eleven...another final...for india..?

Gambhir is going to walk down the track and loft Mendis for sixes. Sehwag is going to do the same. As for Muralitharan, as long as our batsmen can read his doosra, everything will be fine. Indian batsmen are better players of spin than pace bowling.

It is a myth, the should be exploded. I cannot recall the years, but the events are very vivid in my mind. Last time, when England were here, in Mumbai Test, Indians were done in by none too great Shaun Udal and Monty Panesar. When Pakistan were here last, the Indians were again done in, by Shahid Afridi, and some unknown spinner at Bangaluru. Sachin Tendulkar, your God of Cricket, could not uproot anything in either match. Much ealier in '71-72, India almost lost against MCC at Chepauk, chasing 86 against spinners like Pat Pocock and Jack Birkenshaw. When the pitch is turning, Indians are as bad players of spin as any other team.
think there is no need to change the present team, because if we r talking about bowlers, then i think they are learned from each batsman , & and batsman are learned from each Bowlers , that'w they got it how to face the other, So, According to me It's aright team for winnig Final against shrilankan team

What you have posted makes no sense. Of course, there's no need to change the present team.
