India Vs Pak WC Semifinal Team Compositions

[asterix]

Hi Guys, please use this topic to discuss the possible team compostion of Team India for the semi-final match against Pakistan. Raina has consolidated his place. YP misses out. Mohali pitch assist pace bowling so, is Munna a ceratinity? I hope Munna doesn't plays any more matches in WC.. Will Nehra come back or Santh might get a chance?

Pakistan will opt for this side. 1. Mohammad Hafeez aka Shane Warne 2. Kamran Akmal 3. Asad Shafiq 4. Younis Khan 5. Misbah-Ul-Haq 6. Umar Akmal 7. Abdul Razzaq 8. SHAHID AFRIDI 9. Umar Gul 10.Wahab Riaz 11. Saeed Ajmal

I am not sure about Munna but Nehra and Sree have not anything to say they they will bowl better than Munna.I would ideally create the quickest wicket we can and pick 3 seamers.

Shane Warne had a bowling average of 40 something against India :giggle:

Team for the semis I would make one change to the team that beat Aus... get Sreesanth or Nehra in place of Munaf. Munaf is a waste of space - can't bat, can't field and now even can't get his 10 overs in :mad: My team for semis to take on Pak... Sehwag Tendulkar Gambhir Kohli Yuvraj Dhoni Raina Harbhajan Ashwin Zaheer Nehra/Sreesanth Btw I hope Raina gets a couple of overs as his off-spin with the stop & start motion confuses the batsmen and definitely is a better option than Kohli or Tendulkar at the moment.

A thread already exists to discuss the team composition. Mods, pls close the thread.

Get Yusuf in place of Munna.. .One man pace attack..

[Ultimate_Game]

Sorry, double post

[ch1234]

Pathan for Kohli..

[Sid]

Sree in place for Munna,Mohali pitch will help him and he is not as useless in the field as Munna or Nehra

[Hur Rizvi]

Akhtar might play..Big match..

No chance .....

[zubinpepsi]

Do we really need to play either munaf or nehra or sreesanth? I think we shud dump them for good.. Munaf and nehra seems worse than the 5th bowler.. we shud possibly got 5 overs frm kohli, raina and sachin and 5 frm pathan.. and the rest shd be by zak, ashwin, harby and yuvi.... i dont think kohli, raina, sachin and yusuf combo wud do any worse than nehra r munaf...

[Show_stopper]

Guys I'll say it again Raina can add much more value coming in ahead of Dhoni. He is far too good a batsmen to bat at #7.

Pathan for Kohli..

Why?

[Ultimate_Game]

Pathan for Kohli..

Nope, Kohli looked quite comfortable in the middle before throwing his wkt away. He won't make the same mistake in the semi and should be in the playing XI

Sree to replace Munaf thats what i want dont want Nehra

[SachDan]

Same X1..thanks.

[cowboysfan]

I dont see them taking the risk of bowling Sree against pakistan,he is too wayward to be trusted.It all depends on the wicket though,if its flat and slow then we will probably play the same team.

[asehgal]

Would Dhoni now bring in Sree? India's bowling is looking decent with the inclusion of Ashwin. If Bhajji can grow some spine and bowl like he should, we would have potentially three wicket taking bowlers in the ranks. I have wanted to see Sree in the side from the start. If Sree comes in instead of Munaf, we could have a more than a decent attack. What do you think, would/should Dhoni/Gary go for this change?
