+1 You are correct. Different teams different times. This is avery strong batting line up. Bowling needs to deliver. I think need to drop one spinner and see what happens.

To be fair, the bowling is getting better. Improved against the Windies, then against Australia. We're peaking at the right time and Raina's inclusion has brought a new energy to the team.

It is the Mohali track that bothers me.

The day is slowly coming when all those comments by our neighbors about our bowling department will come and bite them in the ass. Zaheer is going to grab two quick wickets at his starting spell which will be brief. He will the proceed to dismantle the middle order with the old ball. On the other end Harbhajan and Ashwin will have already spun an impossible web around Pakistan...Bottom line is, if your batting clicks...this match is ours.

....this is 1 game you can actually become rich. Bookie can offer min 50 crores to throw this and imagine if Asif/Aamir/Butt were still playing

No one can pulverize Afretard, Hafeez, Rehman, Razzaq, Ajmal all part of " world class bowling" like Yousuf Pathan. Pak will bowl close to 25 overs of spin bowling and there is no bigger destroyer of the slow phuddu type that Pak has like Yusuf Pathan. I have rarely ever seen him get out without dismantling spinners he faces. IMO he must play ...but how ? Raina is definitely nerves of steel and a great finisher. If we have to go by horses for courses, do you think Dhoni must " rest" Kohili and play Pathan instead. Kohli has arguably done no wrong....just that the kind of attack Pak has and what Yusuf Pathan has been doing to such attacks...I would be tempted to play Yusuf Pathan for Kohli. Even if Yousuf Pathan plays only 5 overs, he can totally swing the match in India's favour even in 5 overs.

Too much risk. If he gets out the whole team is under pressure plus he is low on confidence. Kohli is as good as money in bank.

Yusuf pathan has no one to blame but himself,one decent 50 in any match he played would have cemented his position but he failed to live up to the expectations we had for him after the SA ODIs.
