Think about Batting line up Gambhir,Sehwag opening followed by Yusuf Pathan, if any of the openers out within 20 overs of Power play.then Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj,Dhoni,Raina/Uthappa,irfan Pathan,Praveen,Chawla/Ojha Ishant Sharma, Sreesanth/R.P.singh doesnt it look like a good team. But i feel M.S.Gony, S.K.Trivedi ( Who bowls beautiful disguising slow bowls)Badrinath, Venugopal Rao, Manoj Tewary,Shikar Dhawan,L.R.Shukla,Parthiv, Virat Kohli, P.Sangwan,(Though no so good 20-20 for both of them) Asnodkar, Rajat Bhatia have shown that they have sufficient talent.

RE:why take spinners

pitches in bangaldesh are on slow side. so 2 spinners. if you see bangladesh also has lot of left arm spinners.
atleast for the tri seies i would have expected some risks tken like going for badrinath and shikar dhawan instead of uthappa and Sehwag! but Yusuf pathan's selection is a good one. Poor Badri! he might just have to retire!

yeah correct,badrinath deserved his place.i don't understand why selectors r only giving emphasis the performance of IPL.doesn't domestic cricket performance makes no sense where badri is far ahead of others and is in good form currently.this is the problem with indian cricket.the player who is hard hitting batsman often overshadows the other batsman who isn't flamboyant as he is.
Shame...RP Singh, I Pathan, Yushuf Pathan, Uthappa selected on what BASIS ?
RP Singh is the most useless and expensive bowler in world after Zaheer Khan and Nehra.
Pathan has no line & length in bowling.....he is no longer commited to team and play for money....bloody fool laughs when team is losing or when hit for 4s/6s.
It is SHAME that such Bowlers are retained....Agar Matka lag gya toh yeh perform kar jayengee Vs Bagladesh......aur team mein CANCER ke ratah chipke rahenge.
SHAME, INDIA TEAMS problem is BOWLING not BATING.
Also Yushuf pathan, Robin Uthappa never performed in IPL on what basis are they been selected in TEAM
Also RAINA has made the come back because he was in Chennai(Dhobi) team in IPL.....Although Raina deserves his place......Other yougsters like Karthik other have performed well but DHOBI captain his keeping wicket keeper batsmens away to secure his place.
Also Praveen Kumar who was Vital in India WIN in Ausralia....hasnt been included is this justified..?
Also why DRAVID is been droped....he is still the best.....his team failed in IPL due to poor talent and useless bolwers like ZAHEER.
BUT our FOOLISH FANs will never realise the this......they only deserve DHOBI captain.....who is FAKE and big ZERO.
Look at Rajastan team(Shane Warne) in IPL.....if you have a good stategy making CAPTAIN, even a ordinary team can do WELL WONDERS.If you have worst bowling then even the best Batting cant help team....BEST latest Ex

looks like u are not watching IPL - RP Singh is among top wicket takers , Yusuf Pathan is among top all rounders , and guess ur not reading the article also - Praveen Kumar is in the team
There should be some reservation like IPL new face - atleast2, ICL - 2, senior atleast 1 from (sachin, saurav, dravid, laxman, etc..) 1 from non performer in IPL and last not the least 4 foreign players...
RE:Why Ishant sharma is selected and Zaheer is out
