Yuvraj Singh ruled out of ODI series in Windies

[Sachin=GOD]

WI should beat this Indian side if Gayle plays' date=' he has had 2 months of bashing Indian trundlers all around the IPL so no reason he cant just carry on here.[/quote'] why would he be selected if he wasn't selected for the Pakistan series?

[Serani]

why would he be selected if he wasn't selected for the Pakistan series?

Yes that sounds logical, however WI cricket and logic.....not much of a relationship.

[rkt.india]

Certainly Raina was not blamed by all sundries. He had 3 debutant pacers to work with. India lost due to their fast bowling resources.

Apart from 2 hundreds of Rohit Batting was a failure too...Those bowlers did not do bad job than these current bowlers. Our current bowlers as well as those rookie bowlers perform are pretty much at the same leve Zak...difference was batting rather than bowling. we had only 4 top order batsmen in that series remember and batting did not click against Zimbabwe. Remember the series, only Rohit was significant contributor and this same can happen this time too. Opening was problem then too and on this tour too. Indian bowling does not make much difference. Its batting which will need to come good on this tour.

[rkt.india]

That tour was a failure more due to a completely rookie bowling attack of Yadav' date=' Dinda, Vinay, Ashwin and Mishra. This time we have PK, Munaf, Ishant and Bhajji. Should not be much of a problem a problem, Batting will do fine.[/quote'] You did see the bowling was rookie, but you didnt see poorly batsman batted except a few innings from Rohit, there was nothing to talk about as a batting too and same can happen now. These bowlers PK and Munaf are no McGrath or Brett Lee. I am already seeing the writing on the wall for this series.

Uploader has not made this video available in your country, pretty racist.

Dhawan and M Tiwary included in ODI squad

[Sooda]

Hmm.. Tiwary..??! Worth his spot you guys think? From what I remember he did not have a great tour of England with India A last year, and IM guessing his List A record is not as good as Rahanes ..though he did have a good Vijay Hazare tourno... And his IPL has been decent, that was probably the clincher. Good to see Dhawan there though.

[VRV Singh]

Harbhajan vice-captain :cantstop:

[Sir_Afridi]

Now the ODI series will be competitive. I hope WI select Gayle,Taylor & Edwards then they will be favourites. India will lose lot of ranking points if they lose the series and will be major embarassment right after winning the best cup.

[yoda]

Poor Raina. :((

From what I've seen of him in IPL, he looks a classy player, happy he's been given a look. And Dhawan has been there and thereabouts for a while, hope these guys can push others for a spot

[cowboysfan]

Good for him but its a get out of the series excuse.

[Sachinism]

With Bhaji being made VC, he'll probably play all the games, so Ashwin will be warming benches :facepalm:

Not sure if you are old enough to remember what happened to Pakistan after the 1992 WC, but let me take you to those time anyways March 1992- Pakistan WC champions May 1992- Lost to England Dec 1992- Lost series to WI and then to NZ Feb 1993- Won a trophy involving SL and Zimbabwe (minnow of early 90s) Feb 1993- Lost in the tri series in SA March 1993- Drew a ODI series in WI Oct 1993- Lost to WI in a tri series final Dec 1993- Won a series vs Zimbabwe So, basically then 1992 WC champs , 2 years after winning the WC, could win only against SL and Zim :--D
