zaheer is doing weel in bowling now a days ..at the start of the inng. he is supereb..but at last he gave runs a bit more..but he can do a good job for india in wc-07...agarkar is my 2nd option to join zaheer with the new bowl....& here is my playing 11... 1.....ganguly/sachin 2.....utthapa 3.....sehwag 4.....sachin/ganguly 5.....yuvraj 6.....dravid 7.. ...dhoni 8.....agarkar 9.....zaheer 10....harbhajan/pathan 11....munaf we have so many slow/spin bowlers like sachin sehwag..yuvraj n ganguly..so it's all up on pathan's form..we can inclued him against harbhajan..what u think????????

West indies' pitches are slow and our spinners can do wonders...in place of munaf india should go for kumble. in last match with holland they played with kumble & bhajji. and it is neccessary for india to include pathan. munaf is no more needed. one spinner specialist must be there in the team. sachin, sehwag and yuvi are the options for spin bowling.
my best 11 is
1. sachin 2. ganguly 3. uthappa 4. sehwag 5. dravid (if 2 wickets falls suddenly) 6. and if not "dhoni" should come at no. 5. 7. pathan 8. bhajji 9. agarkar 10. sreesanth 11. kumble

I feel sreesanth should not be included. Munaf is a better option then sreesanth, because he has a better line and length then sreesanth. I will go for Munaf. He is the best.

dear i think including both the spinners woouldn't be good. n as dharma told that u forget yuvi is right..he is a good middle order batsman now .n as manish panda said about sree n munaf..i think he is also right here..thnik about it..sree is always expencive...

Hi I would say rather drop sehwag because i am not seeing him coming in form now.he is so low in his confidence.And anyways no point including him because he can also bowl off spin because as such we have many spinning options.If pitch is really conducive to spin we will be having both kumble and harbhajan and in case we need third there are too many options in form of sachin.yuvraj.so only if sehwag is in batting form purely he is to be selected.Rather i would say pathans batting abilities will be more than handy.They would be alomst equal to sehwags batting abilities in recent form infact a touch more than that.So it wont be harbhajan or pathan.Infact we should select both and drop sehwag to start with.Then depending on form changes can be made.

dont take it personally..see my point is one down batsman should be your best batsman..for me the squad should be
Ganguly Sehwag Dravid Sachin Yuvraj Dhoni Pathan Harbhajan Agarakar Zaheer Munaf < BR>I know a lot of ppl will say why not utthapa and why pathan..see the point is u have to play sehwag if u have taken him to WI...pathan justified coz see even if he bowl 5 overs..he is a utility cricketer...

Can we include parthiv patel as an allrounder in the team?
RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:zaheer & all....all the best
by Wilson Wilson on Mar 08, 2007 12:48 PM Permalink
Here is my suggestion for the line up: Uthappa Sehwag yuvaraj Sachin Dravid Gangu Dhoni Pathan Agarkar Bhaji Zahir
12. kumble/Sreesanth/Munaf
The reason being bring in Gangu down the order is as he is a better player at spin than speed and the best player in the side to play against spin. He can also provide stability in that position and can accelerate/anger if required. And openning with uthappa and Sehwag will surve the purpose as these two hav been selected for opening and sehwag can play with better responsiblity while playing in the company of a fresher. Both can play freely as their main batsmen are yet to follow them. and yuvi coming up the order because he is a better palyer against speed than spin and presently in good form and can adjust his game accordingly. Both Pathan and Zaheer are must in the line up for all matches. i think is combination is also taken care of the left and right combinations which required to defocus the bowlers. All the best for the team india...

Mark my words.. If PATHAN fails to perform well, India will surely suffer.. Pathan is the Key in this worldcup.. He is only one genuine allrounder in team. Dont tell me Agarkar is allrounder.. Our captains spoil Pathan by not giving him opening overs.. This is the same view of Chetan Sharma..

hehehe miss neha kothari..forget about this...i agreed that pathan can play an imp. role for india...but he is not one man army...here r so many like sachin , yuvraj, & dravid in middle order..dhoni & co.(agarkar & pathan) at lower order...n utthapa ganguly n sehwag at upper..all have to play their best. hello wilson wilson..great work dude i like too

u r right here. there is no need of spin bowlers coz indians have Sachin, Sehwag, Yuvrag to take 10 overs as spin.

is sehwag necessary to be included???all know that sehwag don't hv any footwork....Dinesh Karthik is missing in this team!!!!don't forget..Karthik is more reliable than sehwag!!!!Am i wrong??
RE:RE:zaheer & all....all the best
by naveen dhanerwal on Mar 08, 2007 10:27 AM Permalink
no u may be right..but for the 1st match u can watch him..if he fails then kartik will be good.. but just remember dude if he blasts what will happen..n also he is a good option for spin bowling...m i wrong?
