first i would like to pick the probable playing 11 1.Sachin 2.Sehwag 3.Gambhir 4.Yuvraj 5.Raina 6.Dhoni 7.The extra batsman/All rounder 8.Harbajan 9.Zaheer 10.Praveen 11.Nehera. The dhoni may include an extra batsman like virat kholi/ rohit sharma OR an all rounder like R.Jadeja or Y.Pathan. who will be the best all rounder for India in this world cup?? Is it R.Jadeja or Y.Pathan. In bowling R.Jadeja has been bowling better whe consider the economy rate, pathan has been a bit expensive. but every one knows the power of his bat, in batting i would give pathan the advantage than jadeja. so for me it will be Yusuf Pathan who will get the chance in WC squad. who is the better option according to you?

I will go with Pathan(any Pathan) . Jadeja's economy is good,but his batting is not much good. So certainly Pathan is good

well, there ia no chances for (any pathan). only yusuf pathan is the guy who may get chance. irfan pathan is now only in the minds of his fans, not in the mind of selectors. hope that yusuf pathan will perform well for india in the world cup.

Definitely I will go for Yusuf Pathan .He is such a player that can change the result at any time.I don't think he is little bit expensive in terms of bowling.Actually he is partnership breaker.Also he bowled well in the Newzealand series too.I am sure that he will be very much helpful to the Indian team especially in the slog overs.He is such a big hitter which Indian team need a lot at this stage.

I think fitting V. Kohli will be better instead of S. Raina. And for the all rounder slot, Yusuf Pathan is miles ahead than R. Jadeja. I can't think of R. Jadeja. We was given lots of chances, he spoilt it. He failed to prove his worth. He is poor in batting and bowling is terrible. Maybe he is less expensive than Yusuf Pathan but Pathan can bowl well and pick up wickets. He can bat so well and hit sixes so comfortably that no one can replace for him unless team management decides to play an etra bowler. R. Jadeja is out of question and the selection committee is thinking the same.

so you go for jadeja, right, and how can you say that virat is better than raina. Raina is having more experience and playing good cricket, how can we avoid him? and virat kholi has not played down the order, and show his capability to play in middle order is still a question? so i will stick with raina.

Well my first choice would be Irfan but i dont think he is fit enough to play world cup.I would go for Yusuf Pathan for sure because he is the ideal no 7 in Indian conditions .He and Yuvi can fill the place for fifth bowler .Ravindra Jadeja is talented but he doesn't have the temperament of playing international cricket and he is very poor in handling pressure situations.Either Kohli or Yusuf should play.Yusuf may prove to be more useful as he is good with his fast off spinners.My final 11 would be Sachin , Sehwag, Gambhir, Yuvi,Raina, Dhoni, Yusuf, Bhajji, Zaheer,Nehra,Sreesanth.

ya thats right, irfan is not going to be in the squad. the chances are clearly in favour of Yusuf, ow, hope that he will perform.

i think yusuf pathan should be there in the WC squad,he is in great form now..while jadeja has not played for many days and WC is not a game of experiments..so the players in form should be alloted in the squad

surely, pathan is in good form now, but jadeja has been more economical, and indian bowling is always expensive, so we need a bowler, who gives only less runs. thats is the only thing gives a mild chance for jadeja. but surely pathan is better and stronger than jadeja, me too goes with pathan.
