That's not really the issue....

The issue is that players like Sehwag (knee?), Gayle (abdominal) and Roach (fever) were not fully fit, and should be rested for a more important game, i.e. quarterfinal. What if they played and ended up being hurt/ill to an extent that they missed the knockout match? Imagine the repercussions then....

Could Shiv miss the quarterfinal? That seems to be the indication, doesn't it? I'm not comfortable with that, because the middle order looks brittle.

Might have been a good idea to give Raina a go. But Dhoni needs to spend some time in between too. And this is about the right time for Dhoni to enter - 30 to 35 overs.

To be fair, India are 'resting' Sehwag and Chawla too, and given chances to Raina and Ashwin, so I don't see much difference between that approach, and what the Windies have done....

Chawla didn't play against South Africa in the last match. He was dropped.

Dhoni said when they lost the match to SA "You should play for the country than the crowd. Take singles and doubles. Don't try to slog too much."

Well........Dhoni himself was trying to hit a shot there and the result is there to see. Dhoni you clown just shut the **** up. You have lost it. You don't deserve to be a captain anymore.

I hope someone else is declared the captain of India team after the WC is over.

Don't think we're gonna get 300 at this rate. Seriously what's happened to our batting at the death.. it's like all of a sudden we forgot how to bat in the last 10 lol

You know what's the problem? DHONI. Takes up too many balls, doesnt hit big and plays in a tuk tuk mode irrespective of the game situation.

I am sorry but if you can't play well against WI then well.....dunno what's gonna happen in the knockout stages.
