the decision has finally been taken to drop sehwag and pick ganguly.well this is a good selection,by adding a lit bit more stability and experience to the top order.but then the board has also taken the decision to drop kaif,and mongia.this makes the situation very dicily poised because you see there is absolutely no strength in the middle order.dravid is the only experienced player.yuvraj is not available because of injury and there is no more experience there now other than ganguly tendulkar and dravid .so i really do belive that there is still not enough strenght in the batting to win the present odi series,forget the WORLD CUP.WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?

I think that whether sehwag is in or out, there is no big difference because he is not performing at all, but adding ganguly is more sensible step as he is experienced and playing well, middle order is little bit not secure as it lacks experience but when robin uttapa would open then Indian can have a long batting line up, as if now India is trying to play with six batsmen and four bowler.

Ya my friend. I think that dropping shewag is not a right opition. He scored a century in the domestic match before the team selection. may be this can lower hos confidence which he was starting to gain. back of ganguly in he team was a natural thing as he is the inform man and also he is highest run scorer after Sachin. Hope full the new playes and the less experienced players will stand tall to grab the chance with both hands and will perform better.

i agree with the selectors decision to field this team. the changes made are truly justified.

the selection maybe justified but dont you think the team is low on terms of experience with half the team not having played over the last one year.this is the worst way they could prepare for the world cup
