Prem.. broadly you are right - except that as lottery (confidence boosting measure - whichever way you want to call it)- I would rather choose Virender Sehwag than Pathan...! The 5-6 overs that you are expecting Pathan to bowl can always be bowled by Sehwag and IF he clicks in batting(I know it's a big 'IF'), he is perhaps one of the three Indian batsmen (other 2 being Sachin & Sourav - don't want to include Robin Uthappa yet) who can make it no-contest in a span of 30 minutes..!! In my book - Virender Sehwag still has 2 more chances - against Banglades and Bermuda... to make his career and give us hopes of THE cup..!!!
