Are you kidding me? The Australian bowlers will flounder on these slow pitches.I thought we saw some rank bowling from Oz this summer but we're geniuses compared to these sides
When a guy who cannot bowl, bat or field is you're best option, then you know you have troublesPlaying three pacers is alright, but Sreesanth shouldn't be one of the three. We didn't have a choice today because of the injury to Nehra.

Well he is no Glenn McGrath, but he has done a fair job in the recent past. I reckon you're selling him short a little. I'd have him over Sreesanth in ODIs at any rate.When a guy who cannot bowl, bat or field is you're best option, then you know you have troubles
It's a sorry indictment on Indian cricket that Nehra is even remotely in consideration for the international team - he flat out sucks
Anyway, Harby >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any other bother on show

Fail, Smith is a great fielder. Unfortunately that is all he can doI thought Steven Smith was Australian.
Chawla pretty much singlehandedly bowled out Australia and he is not playing - that is an injustice. Two pace bowlers and the rest as spinners is simply the best strategy for India, atm. Pace bowlers on slow pitches are often fodder, especially if you do not have the guile or consistency of Zaheer, Munaf, or to move away from India - the sheer skill of a Stuart Broad.Playing three pacers is alright, but Sreesanth shouldn't be one of the three.

Other than Sreesanth and the part-timer, Yuvraj, India have bowled very well.No confusion where both teams strength is then.
The dew factor may have dissuaded Dhoni from playing two spinners. I don't think it was that bad a move - we do have two-three part-time spin options to fall back on.Chawla pretty much singlehandedly bowled out Australia and he is not playing - that is an injustice.

Agrees with this. Chawla should have been playing in place of Sreesanth. Its hard work for the fast bowlers out there and i don't see any change in this tournament. Probably the dew factor was the only thing which may have prevented his inclusion in the side.Chawla pretty much singlehandedly bowled out Australia and he is not playing - that is an injustice.
