Uthappa axed

[King Tendulkar]

What a disgrace weakens the batting and the fielding. Superb 20/20 and odis in england. Ganguly is one lucky SOB:angry_smile:

[King Tendulkar]

Cant believe Powar has made it as well. He is good bowler but must move away from these one dimensional players. All players must be good runner btwn wickets and fielder unless they are truley exceptional at their one disipline. Powar and Gangs are not truely exceptional at one discipline. They are awful fielders etc. Uthappa dropping is a disgrace for Indian cricket

[King]

That's disappointing. Uthappa was quite electric in the field and was quite an aggressive batter suited for short version of the game.

[King Tendulkar]

karthick is not playing

[sandtest]

Looks like very strong competition to make it to final 11.....good for India at the end. We have found decent pool of talents after England and 20-20 cup.

[yoda]

they should rotate the players. bring sehwag also into the mix.

[coffee_rules]

Not only just dropiing, but dropping in his home ground is a mistake. He would have been fired up. India will lose this one, with 5 bats+Dhoni+Pathan.

[HouMac]

Can't believe we didn't learn from our stupidity of playing 5 bowlers in the England series.

[novpj]

I agree - playing 5 bowlers is a mistake. Dropping Uthappa and Sharma is a mistake. Drop Ganguly and a bowler.

[gs]

Uthappa out, Ganguly in - thats a shame!

[ludhianvi]

well they just cant drop anyone from the trinity, can they :tounge_smile:

[talksport]

and then there is sehwag

[Yuvraj4Captaincy]

This shouldve been the lineup: Tendulkar Gambhir(Sehwag when he comes back) Yuvraj Rohit Sharma Dhoni Dravid Pathan Harbhajan Chawla RP singh Sreesanth

[gs]

Nature's freak act - Ganguly pulled a hamstring - Uthappa will probably get in next match

[novpj]

Indian cricket - only the act of God can help us make the right decisions!

[King]

I'm quite impressed with Rohit Sharma too. He looked a fantastic player with shots around the ground. I wish the trinity had pulled out from this ODI series too.

They are under enough pressure as it is having pulled out of T20. Had they pulled out of the Aus ODIs and if the rookies have an even half decent series, the fate of the trinity (except maybe SRT with this past reputation) would be sealed!
