The names of 15 probables to represent Indian Squad for the WORLD CUP have been announced.
The team comprises of 7 batsmen ( Tendulkar, Gambhir, Kohli, Yuvraj, Raina, Sehwag and Dhoni ), 4pacers (Zaheer, Nehra, Munaf and Parveen ), 1 all rounder ( Yusuf ) and 3 spinners ( Harbhajan,Chawla and Ashwin ).
To win any tournament , a team should be well balanced, all players must be fully fit and contribute their worth in every game. Most of the selected players as of now are not fit, injury prone and not in form.
Dhoni, Yuvraj and Raina are out of form. Why has Yuvraj (once a match winner) been picked up when he has constantly failed with the bat for almost a year?
On slow sub continent pitches, Nehra, Munaf will be hammered badly. Both are no good with the bat as well. Piyush Chawla, a surprise entry, was thrashed in last one dayer against S Africa. Dhoni himself has failed miserably as a captain and as a batsman. Surprisingly, media never writes about his poor captaincy.
If i were to pick my 15 players, i would replace Yuvraj with Rohit Sharma (a solid bat and a useful bowler ) , Munaf with Sreesanth (has sting in bowling and can bat well ), Ashwin with P.Ojha (better bowler and chips in runs when needed ), Piyush Chawla with Dravid (checks landslide in batting, can keep wickets and is the best slips fielder in country ) and Nehra with Umesh Yadav ( an all rounder in true sense ) .
Had Irfan Pathan and Ishant Sharma been fit, i would have picked them up in place of Umeash Yadav and Sreesanth.
My dream team comprises of all rounders who are dependable and have always delivered in crisis ( check their past records please ).
The form of a player remains for just one or two months. Therefore, i do not expect KOHLI and YUSUF PATHAN to plunder runs any more.
There will be surprises and we must wait for them.Each of my 15 players has the ability to play well in pressure conditions.Thus, my pick will be for 8 batsmen, 3 all rounders (Yusuf,Umesh and Praveen Kumar), 2 Spinners ( Harbhajan and Ojha ) and 2 pacers in Zaheer and Sreesanth.
I feel our selectors have not been fair and have done a miserable job in selecting an average team based on their past records and not evaluating real ground performances. I have my doubts if the selected team can reach even the semi finals.
BE PREPARED FOR SURPRISES AND UPSETS IN THIS WORLD CUP.
SELECTORS, PLEASE GIVE ME MY TEAM AND WE WILL BRING YOU THE WORLD CUP .
