Hi, Good. Why are people after Yusuf Pathan I do not know. He is a blind hitter, if it worked it worked and if not flop down. But Raina is more responsible and plays responsible cricket Give loose ball to Pathan he Pathan he would send it up to the Bay of Bengal. But Raina is sober and active in the field too. So Raina's inclusion is a welcomed move. Actually I was surprised when the final list of the playing fifteen came out and Pathan was there. I thought why is this guy there?

For your kind information Yusuf plays more responsible in the previous two series he played against New Zealand and South Africa than Raina...I think you forgot those two innings

No, I did not miss them. And surely Yusuf plays cricket but he needs to be backed by luck and chance. One or two matches do not make up the sum.

I think that turned out to be the master stroke of a decision. Pathan was really not doing enough and as he was throwing his wicket, India were not able to finish off the 50 overs. With Raina in there is more solidity in the batting line up and that really helped against the Aussies. Cheers! Ram
