Kaif would have been the best option in such conditions. It should be one of Warne's dubest decision to send him back to India!

The Wheel is Forever
Royal batting is very flimsy this year.

What is Powar doing in the match? He's a frontline spinner, yet Yuvraj tries to take the initiative and send down two dull overs when Warne came in. He didn't get to bat and was a bit weak on the field, so resources are not being used fully here. Wilkin Mota is a strange selection. He's a steady medium-pacer, yet he bats at eight and doesn't bowl. Anyway, it's good to see Irfan and Chawla have a good match, though Sangakkara dominated with the bat and Abdulla also did his bit with the ball.

I am not yet convinced with Yuvi's form though he seems to do well in England and Raina though a very good player throws it away at times so I am open to the idea of playing someone like Sachin in the middle order

You need a strong top six and your top five bowlers, ideally. Yuvraj and Raina should fill those spots. I don't believe Yuvraj has taken an initiative to score runs, as he comes in a little too low. The bowling options may be Harbhajan, Zaheer, Praveen Kumar, Mishra and RP Singh. To stretch your batting lineup a little, you may bring in one of the Pathans, though there may be a case for both in the team.

This whole post is Silly.
That's not what he said.

He suggested that Mills should be brought, well given that there are only 4 non-Indian Players allowed, and that he wants Kyle Mills to be picked one of the international has to be dropped and he has been cribbing about Sanath's bowling and also said that he doesn't rate Duminy very highly, it is kind of obvious that Mills has to be brought at the expense of one of these two. Infact if you look at his lineup, it has indeed Duminy missing from the lineup and Mills replaces him as the International selction and that weakens the already weak batting lineup for a bowler who doesn't have a gret T20 record anyway.

He is useful in T20 cricket. Has an average of 17 and a RR of below 7 in T20 cricket. I disagree regarding the ODI part. I think that he can make it into a decent ODI bowler, things going his way of course. He has made a good start. In the 8 matches he has played versus Sri Lanka, he averages 29 and his economy is only 4.18. At least he has the promise for it from what I have seen of him. Tests are a long way away though.
