What should not happen

India successfully succumbed to Bangladesh. So what is going to happen now ? One thing i really don't want to see is Player's houses and relatives getting hurt. They are not responsible for any of these things. It's all our fault to have so much passion over a sport. It is not be all and end all for us. Even if we bow out in the first round we should not feel terrible. We in fact should view cricket as a sport. I think by this we could avoid lot of disappointments and those cricketers wont be getting a lot of money for playing in such a fashion. After saying this lets see what went wrong for us today. The team selection is absolutely wrong. I don't believe shewag should be anywhere closer to the Caribbean leave alone the team. I have not lost confidence in him (Though i never had any!) He just needs some break. He still have a future in Cricket and by keeping him in the playing eleven Dravid is trying to spoil that. Uthappa he never seems to have any understanding of the game. After all he is just into the scheme of things. All he knows is a horizontal bat. So if he is not opening i don't see him at No 3. With Shewag in such an aweful form we need some one to steady the ship so why not Dravid?. If they really need utahppa why don't they keep shewag down the order. We all know he could murder a spinner. I am not going to blame Sachin and Dravid for their failure. After all they are human. Sourav played gem of an innings as he used to play and Yuvraj setting the base. One thing that surprises me is the absense of Irfan Pathan. Sure they don't have a place for fourth seamer. But i feel that he should have been given a chance because this was supposed to be a cake walk for India. Either he could have got the rhythm or give us a hint about what our future 11 will be. Our Bowling looked good especially Munaf and Zaheer. Munaf can be trusted with new ball than one change bowler. With his height and pace and of course line he could wreck through a batting order.I would try Dinesh karthik in the next game against Namibia as it seems now shewag is not going to give us a lot. Lets "see" if they can build a sky scraper against Namibia and beat Srilanka.

Excellent Cover up!!!

You are right. Sehwag should be given a break. Bring Pathan in. Use him either as a Bowler or a Batsman. Either way he can be useful.

Pakistan are out of the series now and India will soon follow them. So much hype that almost all papers have filled information about them.

Good Work.
