indian team
by sumit shrivastava on Mar 28, 2007 02:55 PM

Here is my team for bangladesh series(16 member squad) as per batting order,have ur say,
1)Robin utthappa.
2)sachin tendulkar.
3)rohit sharma.
4)yuvraj singh.
5)rahul dravid.
6)ms dhoni.
7)virendra sehwag.
8)ramesh powar.
9)zaheer khan.
10)sreesanth.
11)munaf patel.
12)dinesh karthik.
13)gautam gambhir.
14)piyush chawla.
15)irfan pathan.
16)chateerjee,cant remember his name,but the man responsible for making bengal play the ranji finals,the one with a poney tail.

I think this at the moment is the best team which can be tried,ganguly fans i am extremely sorry,cause although he has scored runs,he is a poor fielder and doesnt rotate strike enough and moreover he is not able to increase his strikerate even when set,so frm the future point of view this step is a must.The same thing applies on sachin and rahul but i think dravid is the best commited cricketer india has ever produced plus he can control innings in the middle order and increase the runrate as per requirement,i do think he should remain as a captain for a while,sachin is only included in the team so that india can get 3 part time bowlers which can bowl atleast 15 overs between them i.e sachin,sehwag,yuvi.as far as sachins batting is concerned he should just be played as an opener and if he persists to fail or if it looks like that he is no more comfortable at top,then he should be replaced by gambhir and should take retirement.I think it was a mistake in world cup to send sachin at4 cause he has very seldomely performed under pressure/won matches for that particular position,and has delivered his best as an opener/have won many matches for India batting at the top.the same thingh applies on sehwag,if he fails karthik is an automatic choice/pathan.pathan can also play as a pure bowler in 7,4 combination,I think pathan should just concentrate on his bowling,India needs him more as an swing bowler rather then a great allrounder,anyway he has enough batting talent that he will play good knocks in between.HAVE YOUR SAY AND ONCE AGAIN SORRY TO GANGULY FANS,IT LOOKS HARSH BUT FOR THE BETTER OF INDIAN CRICKET OR FOR FUTURES SAKE ,THIS SHOULD BE DONE.LETS US ALL HOPE SOME GOOD THINGS R DONE THIS TIME.
