Are we losing confidence in our bowlers and batsmen. Or we have to forward some new players too.

Frankly you are as good as the opposition allows you to be on that given day. oN paper we indians i feel better than aussies but it is that performance in the given match or let say crunch match in world cup that matters.

it is not question of confidence ,i think india must have allrounders .india needs alrounders .allteams have their allrounders .they are very genuine .for example ,kallis flintoff etc.india have one allrounder that is pathan , he must be included in the team of world cup .india should give new chances to new ones .

Newer ones should be given chances and seniors must get their form as well. This will encourage the newer ones too and their performance too. And about Pathan, If he regains his sharpness, then he would be unstoppable. Thanks for the comment. Have a nice day.

all rounders are very important in the context of the world cup. all the good teams in the world cup have quality all rounders. india on the other hand makes up with part time bowlers. lets hope these perform well in the world cup.

i dont think that it is necessary to include any new players atleast for this world thats bcoz we have got many experienced players... the only thing is that they all have to perform well to win this world cup
• India

Thats the key, only if the experienced players get there form soon then, they play well as well as can boost up the confidence level of others newer once. Thanks for the comment. Have a nice mylot day.

yes definetly yuvraj is a kinda of all rounder bt the block buxter pathan has faded a lot a lot was xpected frm him bt he didnt liv up to our expectations may be he has to develop his form n we should find more all rounders to boodt our morale

The only thing that our Indian team players has to concern about is there form and fitness as well. If both fine, then we could expect the world cup to be ours. Thanks for the comment. Have a nice day.

Yes i think all rounders are the need of the time right now...We have only one all rounder for now i.e. Irfan Pathan but he too is not in form right now I think we need more of the fast bowling all rounders as we have many batsman who can bowl some spin but what we really lack is all rounders of the quality of jacques kalluis and andrew symonds and flintoff.
• India

Yeah, thats really a winning factor, If Indian team get some all rounders like Jacques Kallis, Flintoff, Symonds, and others. Thanks for the comment. Have a nice day.

The Indian team or rather other team choosing to take all rounder does not mean the teams have no confidence in the batsmen or bowler. Its that every team wanted player to perform in both ways to get runs when the batsmen fail or take wickets in helping the teams. i feel the all rounders will be palying main role for this world cup.
• India

Yeah, All rounders would play an important role in the team. They are like the replacements to bowlers or batsmen when needed. Thanks for the comment. Have a nice day.

india definaltely needs an all rounder ,everyteam now has genuine allrounders in there team ,we also need in the mould of Kallis,symonds,oram and flintoff.The best suited allrounder for india is Pathan, its high time when everyone should start considering him as an allrounder rather than wicket taking bowler as he has performed with bat everytime when he has failed with ball, i think he has contributed india if not with ball than with bat, for me he should be in da team coming and bowling second change bowler and coming as one down batsman
• India

Yeah, Pathan too, be included in the world cup team, but he must play at his best form. Thanks for the comment. have a nice day.

They really show them as a bonus to the team, but in Indian team, many time if some team players falls, everyone starts falling. Thanks for the comment. Have a nice day.

I feel a good allrounder will certainly boost India's chances in teh world cup. As allrounder gives more balance to tha side as the captain has more options in the bowling attack and gives more depth to our batting. Beides captain will be able to field team with 5 genuine bowlers or play with 7 batsmen. I think Irfan Pathan is good canditate for this position as been effective with bat and bowl in past. I feel if he gets his natural swing against srilankans & bowls well and get some wickets he should be included in world cup squad as he has lot of potentiala s allrounder & has been doin gwell with bat.
• India

Yeah, I truly pray for it, that Irfan get its true swing & expand his true potential. Thanks for the comment. Have a nice day.

yes we too hav some good allrounders like yuvraj,pathan,sachin,etc.... the fact is that they should maintain their present form...they really played well against the indies....we hav the potential to win the world cup..
• India
3 Feb 07
Yeah, We have but some how our players won't show there true form when its needed. if they, then world cup is ours. Thanks for the comment. Have a nice day.
