[vvvslaxman]

Uthappa? how did he manage to come back? Surprised to see DK as well.

Some strange decisions - inclusion of Yuvraj who is coming off of a serious illness and will not be match fit for the tourney, Chawla in the squad when he has the one of the highest RR in IPL, exclusion of Awana who did more than good and should have been there instead of one of the Koomars. Other than that expected list and what you can see is not even a single "go to" bowler. When you look at this squad you go "how will we defend a total or get teams out for reasonable scores with these bowlers"

In fact throughout this IPL Amit Mishra looked by far the best Indian legspinner. Awana's exclusion is equally mysterious..unless he has some injury issue.

IMO only 2 specialist in the squad is more than enough and they should be Ashwin and Rahul Sharma with Ojha as an outside shot to get in. On SL pitches our part-timers in Raina, Rohit etc. should be fine but it's the pacers who are the main worry. We don't have even one bowler who can be brought on to take wkts or curb the run rate a la Malinga, Narine, Steyn, Morkel, Ajmal etc. The best we have got is Ashwin who is a power-play specialist but other than him we have nobody we can even remotely turn to.

You can't win consistently with this approach coz at some stage you either need to defend a so-so total or need to limit a team to a reasonable score. You can't realistically expect the team to score 180+ batting first or chase down 180 every game. This is exactly the reason we couldn't win even a single game in super 6s the last two editions of the tourney.

I am struggling to see the point of Zaheer playing these and certain other bilateral series if they really want to maintain him for Tests

let him play...atleast he is playing every series when fit :cantstop:

[SLICKR392]

Zak' date='Umesh should be kept for tests only.I'd hv selected Bhatia n Awana too[/quote'] Umesh is just 24-25 and asking him to play only Test would be a blunder.

[Needforspeed]

Zak shoul've been rested. With a long season coming up, we need him in tests. Anyway he is not particularly good in T20.

Mishra had a fairly horrendous IPL. He did end it with 2 excellent performances though.

You only need to look at how we won the T20 WC in 2007 to see the importance on bowlers.
