WOW !!! What a team has been selected... with batsmens in the side who have 7 and 11 ODI's under their belt... Why so much of faith in them??? and why have you thrown the talence and experience of some oldies. I am very much surprised with the team. Its imbalanced. Where is our MAN IN CRISIS??? I am really very much disappointed with the omission of Mhd Kaif and also feel sorry for Laxman. How can you forget that to win a World Cup you need experienced players. Why they were not given chance to play against Windies. If you remember last time when India toured WI, Mhd Kaif was among the run getters on that typical WI wickets. He made couple of half centuries. Why to omit a player like him to give space to someone who has just played 7 or 11 ODI's. Dont you think its the height of foolishness? Sehwag's selection in the side when he is not among the run getters for ages and again giving him chance. I have no doubt for the talence in him but then why Selection Panel has taken the risk when they have already given space to Uthappa as a opener with Ganguly. Are you kidding by sending sehwag as a middle order batsmen? and further you are making me laugh by saying he is an alrounder.... last time it was Ganguly who was in the side as an alrounder... Why Karthik is in when you have Dhoni? and if they have decided to take him as a backup for Dhoni then flash back to last WC where Ganguly used his mind to keep the wickets with Dravid to play seven batsmens. So you have Dravid as a backup. He has not become a lion if he is been handed the captainancy. He has to give his talence wherever it is required. Pathan's selection is a wise step he is among the rungetters as well. I am 100% sure that team India will do no good in middle order. and when Middle Order fails then dont blame your bowlers when they dont afford to defend the cheap total which your batsmens put on the board. And yes your batsmen who have the experience of 7 and 11 ODI's. And to define better, these guys havent played against Australia. HAHAHAHAHA... So I am looking forward to the days when the black paints and tar and shit will be on the houses of you selectors as well... Something miracle can only save India now... And I repeat that India will do no good in this WC... I throw the challenge. And if i lose it still I am the winner. I wont back Selection Panel for this. They havent put any good use of their Comman Sense. This would be a complete miracle. All the Worst Team India... Oh I mean All the best Team India... My Key Playes : Ganguly, Irfan, Zaheer, Patel and Sir Anil Kumble. Ofcourse I need to back bowlers only as I am very much sure about the performance of the batsmens who are 7 and 11 ODI's old in the side.Dravid will be the big FLOP of the series. Congratulations Mr Chappel as your mission to destroy team India till WC is accompolished.
