Veeru KKD Dhoni(he must bat at 3) Yuvi Raina Tiwary Ashwin PK Ishant Nehra Ojha

[achilles]

Is this game inconsequential or do we still have an outside chance?

I haven't been following this tri-series live but why are we playing two left arm spinners in Jadeja and Ojha? Can't we open up a slot to try out Ashwin, the off-spinner? The management needs to decide which one of Jadeja and Ojha is more likely to be in the world cup squad and persist with him Also "to me" it appears as if we need a solid bat at #4. Yuvi appears to be batting at least a position higher. We bat him at 4 because we probably don't have other experienced option but we should look for other options at #4. Yuvi is better suited for #5 to #7 positions, imho May be we could go w/ the line up like the one below: - Sehwag - Karthik - Kohli - Raina - Yuvi - Dhoni - Ashwin - PK - Ishant - Nehra - Ojha And if we beat the Kiwis, keep the same 11 for the final as well. I would have liked to try out Tiwary but I don't think he will be in the world cup squad so it's better to take a look at Ashwin. Rohit, who probably wouldn't be in the world cup squad, goes out too

[Ravi.]

Sehwag,Karthik,Raina,Yuvraj,Dhoni, Tiwari,Ashwin,PK,Ojha,Nehra,Ishant. But i dont think that Ashwin is an allrounder. But he must get few chances.

[Manny_Pacquiao]

any team india fields should find it easy to beat NZ but the problem is that the guys have been playing such *****y cricket lately and dont really look bothered.

[Lord]

Dhoni hides from media after embarrassing loss to Sri Lanka

This is perhaps the first time that a losing skipper has avoided the post match press conference. MS Dhoni has managed to turn even the Indian media against him after suffering one of the most embarrassing defeats in India's ODI history. Losing with 209 balls to spare against Sri Lanka in match five of the tri series is India's biggest margin of defeat in terms of balls to spare. "According to the standard procedure, the two captains should address the media within half-an-hour of the prize distribution ceremony," The Hindu reported, but Dhoni was busy with other more important matters. The Calcutta Telegraph reports, The convention is that the losing captain first addresses the media after the match. That didn’t happen despite repeated reminders to manager Ranjib Biswal. The players were then busy playing football. According to the Deccan Chronicle, the Indian Manager Biswal had no control of his team or his own arrogance, Curiously, team manager Ranji Biswal was also busy doubling up as the goalkeeper and so was unable to persuade Dhoni to take media queries on apathetic performance. Repeated phone calls from reporters fell on deaf ears. “Five minutes†was the standard reply from Biswal. When the print media finally decided to boycott the conference, the matter was communicated to Biswal who said: “No problem you can goâ€. And finally, when Dhoni decided the time was right, the print media gave him a dose of his own medicine. The following is from the Times of India, Frantic calls from Sri Lanka Cricket's (SLC) media manager, who conducts the post-match proceedings, were treated dismissively. India's shambolic performance ensured the match got over at 7.15 pm, and eventually Dhoni turned up at 8.45 pm, ten minutes after the international print media had got tired of waiting and walked out. The excuse this time is: "We have time till 10.15 pm (when the match was supposed to be over officially)." But, don't they always have an excuse? An Indian loss is never attributed by their own media, Indian officials, Indian past players and fans to being outplayed by better opponents. Instead, it's always an external factor out of their own control. Ahmed Rizvi of the UAE based The National explains, There is bound to be some complaint about the pitch over the coming days. The India team have become poor travellers and sore losers. They blamed excessive cricket and the pitch after the 200-run defeat against New Zealand. Before the second game, Dhoni scrapped a training session because of the “poor condition†of the wickets provided. Then came the issue of Suraj Randiv’s no-ball to deny Virender Sehwag a century and India had found another issue to keep the focus away from the cricket.

Indian media boycott Dhoni's press conference

DAMBULLA: Indian print media on Sunday boycotted captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's press conference as he did not turn up despite repeated reminders after his side slumped to a eight-wicket loss to Sri Lanka in a cricket tri-series match. After the match, the mediapersons waited for Dhoni for the press conference but he was busy playing football. Despite sending repeated reminders, he did not turn up to address the waiting media, which angered the Indian print journalists who then decided to boycott the press briefing. Normally, captains have the responsibility to address post-match press conference though at times other players, who did well in the match, turn up to face the journalists. But on Sunday, neither Dhoni nor any other Indian player came to address the press conference.
