sehwag instead of?
by ashwin achar on Mar 17, 2007 06:44 AM   Permalink

Speaking sensibly, sehwag needs to be dropped. If Sehwag is in, who does he replace? The in-form Uthappa. Now let me tell you something. It is not right to sit out a batsman who is firing on all cylinders. Doing this does not help his mental make up and psyche. Play them when they are performing. Now, Pathan even if he doesnt come good with the ball (mind you, worse come worse, he wont take wickets. but his bowling at the same time will not be appalling) will come good with the bat. He is a vital cog for us in the lower middle order and there is no point in dropping him. Now, I personally would prefer Kumble instead of Bhajji because, by including Pathan our batting line up has extended that little bit plus, Harbajan needs to take wickets in case Pathan does not fire. Now, lately Harbajan doesnt seem to be taking too many wickets. Its just safer to bank on experience in this case and no doubt the wicket will suit him.

My team : ganguly, uthappa, dravid, tendulkar, yuvraj, dhoni, pathan, agarkar, kumble, zaheer, patel.

For the game against Bermuda, sit out Tendulkar and get Sehwag in. He might find his touch there, if he is needed that badly in the team to play Sri Lanka.
