I think thats the only option.. hes the most in-form bowler in india presently who has the ability to get the early break through.. agarkar can be considered to suit a similar role however; his line length and economy rate are not the greatest.. he will bowl 3 magic deliveries and one bad one which gets hit .. so the indian attack led by zaheer .. second bowler ajit agarkar/pathan and third wud be munaf .. spin wud be harbhajan.. and depending on the pitch we can play as many as 5 bowlers (given pathan is one of them). Honestly the bowling doesnt look lethal but I think it should be good enough to win the cup given our batsmen have a wonderful tournament.
Given the conditions in WI .. 250/275 wud be the average totals by all the good teams. and i am sure the team knows their limitations and have learnt their lesson from the 2003 WC final and wont get carried away especially Zaheer

I think Indian cricket board should take permission from ICC and include kapil Dev in the team, he still looks fit, he can lead the India bowling and can bat as well. What say people?
