Saurabh Tiwary? You've got to be friggin kidding me! I would've atleast understood if this channel had quoted the name of Rohit Sharma or Rahul Dravid, since #3 is the position GG bats in. There is no doubt this is a hoax. And Yusuf Pathan MUST play if GG sits out
He is not going to play anyway... Will probably be used as the 12th man and Tiwary is a good fielder...

Yusuf would certainly play instead. Would allow us to keep the same batting balance and have a 7th bowler. Virat would be given more responsibility at 3, I will back him to deliver.

No' date=' he hits spin well... Not too sure, if he is capable of picking the variations...[/quote'] No, he's good against spin, but obviously, he's a lower middle order player so it messes up our plans.

Against SL, it is crucial that whoever comes in there, can play spin well... Batting PP and last 10 overs bowled by SL will be 70% of spin...Malinga will bowl 3-4 overs, rest spin... So its imperative that YP can pick the carrom ball and doosra...

saurabh tiwary of all people?? :wall: this guy who cant put the bat on ball??? pathetic player.. if gambhir doesnt play.. then raina at 3 or 4 down.. and yusuf plays at 7... SL dont have bowlers to cause trouble for raina.. Raina is well capable of playing long innings..

^because Saurabh Tiwary was in 30 and he did play few games. He is in form as well. Even I am surprised. Best choice would have been Rahul Dravid. he just scored 100.
You can very well call Laxman too, he can do everything Gambhir can, just that he is a baggage for rest of the match - as a fielder. IMO - move Kohli to #3, and let Pathan come after Raina. He adds to bowling options too. Or Dhoni to #3 - and let Pathan take Dhoni's place.

Is it that both SL and India creating air of this uncertainty so that the other team does not get complete picture of the first choice 11 other team is going to pick?

Tiwary plays for Jharkhand' date=' the same team which MSD used to play for....[/quote'] Regionalism is really bad. It is the nation that they play for. Dravid can get one chance to sign off on a high from ODIs. Although this is highly speculative, it'd be great if they consider Rahul Dravid over Saurabh Tiwary. Hmm. Maybe fielding is the reason his name surfaced, then, given that on any given day, all our 15 players do play for us :giggle:

Damn it :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: very big blow for India. They may bring in whoever they like - be it Tiwari or anyone else, now that GG is out, its got to be Yusuf pathan in the final 11. p.s. IIRC Yusuf Pathan was also in the squad for the 2007 T20 World Cup but got to play only one match...................and guess what, it was the Final - so he's lucky for India and he'll play if GG is out :D

No YP please !, he's a free-range slogger who incidentally bowls darts. We already have one of those - Harbhajan ! If Gambhir goes then he should be replaced by a proper bat..
