Well , one loss does not mean that india is out of the world cup india lost in the 2007 world cup of twenty 20 and tied with pakistan also , so india will do good from here . Although bowling still a disappointment .
If chawla can get 3 chances for bad performances why not S Sreesanth .
Anyways my playing xi for the match against west indies is three changes
raina in for Kohli or Gambhir , Ashwin in for Bhajji or Munaf , S Sreesanth in for Ashish Nehra surely .
What are for other mylotters i will surely like to know . India needs a wicket taker , dhoni said he needed to make up chawla's confidence thats why gave so many chances to him , then what about sreesanth just one chance and gone , he performed well against oz and nz in the warm up games and 7 wickets in two matches in new zealand sereies.

Hi karan,
Whatsoever Dhoni says, that he is standing by Chawla is sure ans certain. My question was why to experiment at the cost of the prestige of the nation?
Well, your playing 11 chart is not bad but I would retainBhajji and Munaf gone. Again Raina in and Kohli gone.
How does it look now?

Well I seen the probable 11 of your but i would retain Bhajji and in place of nehra i would like to play sreesanth against west Indies because he is a great outswing bowler and well For Kohli,Gambhir and Raina I would definitely pick gambhir first then Raina because no doubt kohli is in awesome form as too gambhir but kohli's place is at No.3 which is perfectly maintained by Gambhir SO i would go for Raina at No.6 Batsman...

asrararmar,
Well your list is slightly different different from mine. In whatsoever cases why Dhoni is standying by Chawla and not getting Ashwin and sreeshant in is a milion dollar question.
We may not be they like cricket players but we know what is what. Do not we? In one of the press meet he told that Piyush Chawla has a specialty in his spin and if he succeeded in turning his wrist well he would sweat the overseas players. And therefore he is giving him chances.
And why Dhoni goes into introspection? Why could not he score some good run against SA as he was blaming the batsmen that they were playing for the gallery only? Being a captain it becomes his duty to ask the batsman how to tackle the situation. Why? Could not he tell the players to be patient there in the dressing room? I do not know how the selection committee is taking the issue.

I agree playing Ashwin in for Munaf and Sreesanth in for Nehra. I think Ashwin is too good a bowler to be sitting outside and one bad performance does not make Sreesanth a poor bowler. On the batting side, I would bring in Raina in place of Yusuf Pathan as there is already enough fire power in the Indian batting line up and what we need is a bit of a stability in the middle order and that can be provided by Raina.
Cheers!
