Hey Usman. You wanted Sachin, Zaheer & Sourav removed for this ODI series. Why do u say this? As far as Sachin & Sourav are concerned their current (last 5 innings) form is good enough to retain them in the squad. I believe that the youngsters should be played more on rotation basis till such time that they have had consistency in their performance. Mind you if you throw the youngsters like Rohit and Praveen in the middle just like that, and god forbid if they fail, their morale would receive a huge beating (with the selectors being inconsistent anything can happen). Let them have a couple of series of exposure to big time cricket. And your comments about Irfan Pathan's bowling? A bowler cannot bowl only inswingers or off cutters on the coin every ball. He needs to adapt himself according to the situation. Otherwise he becomes very predictable. If you want Irfan to be a better bowler, please do not criticize him. You cannot judge a player because of one bad day. I wonder would you be OK with your company throwing you out because of one mistake of yours?. When you want a chance to given again and again to prove yourself. Why not the players. If these guys come up with good performance in the subsequent matches, mind you, you will end up biting your own fingers. As far as Uthappa is concerned, you say that he should understand his responsibilities. Well he is just on the way up. He is getting good starts. He needs to concentrate. And also he gets to bat only during the latter
