And there is a report on rediff which says India are cosidering playing a 3rd seamer!! Dont know which of these reports to believe. I have a feeling it will be Zak, Nehra, Munna and Bhajji as 4 bowlers tomorrow.

Can I also get a chance? I can also bowl well if Dhoni gives me confidence.:proud:
Are you good at bowling "googlies"? Chawla's good at bowling "googlies" and no wonder Chawla easily flummoxed dhoni with his off-field "googly" :winky: Seems like it's far better than Jaddu's "stock ball" :cantstop:

So this world cup is about giving confidence to Piyush Chawla............... WTH I really don't understand ,what Sreesanth did wrong that Chawla didn't :O

Don"t ever count out the "Chotta Don", Piyush Chawla will prove Dhoni right once and for all and follow in the footstep of another "LEGEND" of this great game Ravinder Jadeja. Keep your hopes alive guys. Chotta will do it.

Can anybody tell me why Chawla bowls so short?.he bowls atleast 2 or 3 really short balls every over.It cant be his height because Warne was short and he didnt have this problem.

South Africa batsmen and India bowlers under scrutiny

India haven't lost a game yet but haven't escaped the darts from the critics. Why hasn't Harbhajan Singh taken wickets? Why Piyush Chawla? Why not R Ashwin? Why are the batsmen fumbling? Why do the fielders always fumble? Why is Zaheer Khan finding no support from other seamers? Why do they never bowl yorkers? South Africa have lost one game but that loss threw up the same old question. Why do they choke? The two pre-tournament favourites face each other on a batting track where conventional wisdom would dictate that the team with better bowling and fielding should prevail. However, on their day, both teams are inherently strong enough to beat any logic. Both teams have kept the team-sheet under wraps. Perhaps they really haven't yet decided. The news from the South African camp offers hints but there is nothing conclusive. Imran Tahir is a doubtful starter but he is not ruled out. AB de Villiers' back is better but it's not sure whether he will keep. If he keeps, Morne van Wyk might lose his spot and they may toy with bringing Lonwabo Tsotsobe in. Johan Botha might replace Tahir. And so it goes on. The logic is easy to understand: It's a batting pitch, so why not push AB to keep and play an extra bowler? If they hadn't choked against England, that decision would have been far easier to make. India have their own puzzles to solve. MS Dhoni talked about going in with three seamers but he also said Ashwin might play. Barring Zaheer, India's seamers haven't really eased their captain's headaches. Sreesanth was poor in the first game, Munaf Patel has looked fine but there is no guarantee that he won't bleed runs if the batsmen take to him, and Ashish Nehra is yet to regain full fitness. Nehra was Dhoni's go-to man under pressure but suddenly, in the middle of a mundane home ODI series against New Zealand in November 2010, his form gave away and he is yet to recapture it. The Ashwin-Chawla debate has been analysed to death and it will be interesting to see what unfolds tomorrow.

No, I would rather stay away from that kind of googly. :((

yawn the usual overreaction. india havent played their best cricket, but if u were to believe the moronically retarded indian supporters, and the indian media, u would think india have played awful cricket so far and are set to crash out of the world cup early. the time to judge the indian cricket team will be in QF and SF (assuming they get there).

Munaf or Nehra against South Africa Who do you think should partner Zaheer tomorrow. Munaf or Nehra. Should India play them both alongside Zaheer and drop Chawla. Option 1 - Zaheer, Munaf, Harbhajan, Chawla/Ashwin Option 2 - Zaheer, Nehra, Harbhajan, Chawla/Ashwin Option 3 - Zaheer, Munaf, Nehra, Harbhajan Personally I would go with option 3 as we have got Yuvraj bowling well while Pathan is also very economical.

Nehra is more potent but potentially more expensive, I too would back the three paceman option with Bhajj, Yuv and YP providing spin

Ofcourse if two seamers Munaf will be picked. But going with two seamers is a big gamble. If one has bad day and spinners can't take wicket. Big Problem. India can easily afford 5 bowlers with such a strong batting line up but still they go with 4 bowlers. I don't know why they need batsman at no. 7 with such a strong batting lineup. My lineup: Sehwag Sachin Kohli Yuvraj Dhoni Yousuf Harbhajan Ashwin/Chawla Munaf Zaheer Sreesanth
