Indian team 11 batting lineup
by Thilakh Chacko on Feb 24, 2007 06:47 PM

The batting lineup should be
1) S . GANGULY
2) V . SEHWAG / R . UTTHAPA (should be bat within powerplay)
3) S . TENDULKAR
4) Y . SINGH
5) R . DRAVID
6) M . DHONI
7) I . PATHAN
8) A . AGARKAR
9) H . SINGH
10) Z . KHAN
11) M . PATEL

I prefer if Yuvi comes above Dravid ie. Yuvi at no.4 and Dravid at no.5 Then Dravid will get the pivot role of rotating the strike and in case of a batting collapse, he can be the wall to stay there till the end. It will be similar to Inzamaan's batting positon in his team.

I think this idea was also suggested by Dravid or Chapell also.
The prevoius team I mentioned is used to increase the bowling strength. In case, you want use only 4 bowlers only, then the team becomes
1) S . GANGULY
2) V . SEHWAG (should be bat within powerplay)
3) R . UTTHAPA (should be bat within powerplay)
4) S . TENDULKAR
5) Y . SINGH
6) R . DRAVID
7) M . DHONI
8) A . AGARKAR
9) H . SINGH
10) Z . KHAN
11) M . PATEL I . PATHAN

If Pathan in team, then he will bat at No.8.

Please give ur opinions.
