NareshK Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 I think Sreesanth will be carted around in Mumbai. Munaf, Ashwin, Yusuf Pathan if both Nehra and Gambhir are out.
Indian Pride Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 It has to be Ashwin. Sreesanth will be rusty, not to mention unpredictable. I'm sure Mumbai will take spin.
kabira Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 one channel says there is suspense. one channel say's he needs surgery and will miss the game. Indian News Channels :nervous:
King Tendulkar Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 He has done his job. But think its better Ashwin plays in final anyway
Sid Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Its not been confirmed whether he's out or not,I would wait for news to come on Cricinfo
hari504504 Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Ashwin is trouble against SL, those guys are brilliant against spin.. Sreesanth should be given the green light..enter the wild card!!
Sachin=GOD Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 **** :wall: :wall: last thing we needed before a WC Final was injuries!! Hopefully we'll play Ashwin and NOT Sreesanth instead of Nehra.
cowboysfan Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 I think he hurt his finger going for that bump catch but he still bowled after the injury.If its in his right hand then it shouldnt be a problem.
Karan114 Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 On Cricinfo now: Nehra may miss final with injured finger Nagraj Gollapudi March 31, 2011 Ashish Nehra has fractured the middle finger on his right hand putting a question mark over his selection for the final against Sri Lanka on Saturday. Ranjib Biswal, the Indian team manger, confirmed the development but said the team would only take a call on Friday about whether or not he could play. "Nehra has a fractured finger, which was revealed from the scans taken this morning," Biswal said. Nehra picked up the injury while attempting a catch in the semi-final against Pakistan. He was fielding at deep midwicket when he attempted to pick up a pull by Shahid Afridi against Yuvraj Singh. Nehra, not known so much for his deftness in the field, charged forward to pick the ball that was dying on him at the very last minute. Replays confirmed the ball had bounced in front of him but Nehra's attempt drew applause from his team-mates as well as the fullhouse. Unfortunately, Nehra was grimacing in pain and immediately had his finger taped. Since the injury was on his non-bowling hand, Nehra was able to get through three more overs in the match. However, there are worries he will not be able to field. It was a bit of a surprise to see Nehra in the first XI during the semi-final, given that the man he replaced, R Ashwin, had been impressive in the two matches he had played in the tournament. Despite Nehra's performance of 2 for 33, and Munaf Patel's 2 for 40, India captain MS Dhoni said after the game that India had misjudged the pitch and should have played another spinner. Ashwin may well have returned in place of either Nehra or Munaf for the final in any case, and will almost definitely be in the side if Nehra does not recover. The only other pace option India have is Sreesanth, who has been left on the sidelines since the first game of the tournament. Nehra had missed the first two matches of the tournament with a sore back and was brought in for the group-stage game against Netherlands. Against South Africa in Nagpur, he went for 65 runs in 8.4 overs, 16 off which were scored in the last over of the game, consigning India to defeat. He was then left out for India's next two games, before returning for the semi. Nagraj Gollapudi is an assistant editor at ESPNcricinfo http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc_cricket_worldcup2011/content/current/story/508887.html So he can probably bowl, but not field, which is as expected. But not definitely ruled out just yet.
Sid Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Ok the news is on Cricinfo as well ,Ashwin should play if Nehra misses out.
cowboysfan Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 its his right hand!!!!!.If they want to play 3 seamers then he will play.It all depends on the conditions in wankhede.
NareshK Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 I think he hurt his finger going for that bump catch but he still bowled after the injury.If its in his right hand then it shouldnt be a problem. This is true. He did bowl at the end and he bowled superbly too. So I think he may make the side after all. But I'm not sure they will go in with 3 seamers. Maybe Munaf to sit out ?
hari504504 Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 its his right hand!!!!!.If they want to play 3 seamers then he will play.It all depends on the conditions in wankhede. He probably uses that too in his doggie run-up...
cowboysfan Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Munaf and zak are undroppable.It will either be Ashwin or Nehra.
Patriot_Nikhil Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 its his right hand!!!!!.If they want to play 3 seamers then he will play.It all depends on the conditions in wankhede. But how does he field then? If he wants to bowl a 5 over spell, you cant him on and off the field every alternate over... Nehra fielding with two hands is funny... With one, i shudder to think...
Misu243 Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Just worrying if GAUTAM GAMBHIR will be playing...that is my only concern..we can do without Nehra..although he was magnificient against Pakistan
