After a long time I watched some cricket today. It was agaig heart breaking. India was so clost to win yet they lost. To be fair to them it seemed liked West Indies lost their way. Some how I feel that if Lara has not scored that boundry it could have been intresting. Not a bad performance for bowling point of view but once again pathetic batting performance. We should change our batting order. Our batting order should look like this
Shewag
Sachin
Dhoni
Yuvraj
Dravid
Kaif
Raina/Mongia
Irfan
Powar
Harbhajan
Patel
This should be the team composition we should be following against Australia. We should be using Dhoni at 3 and only 4 regular bowlers. Get 10 overs from Shewag & Tendulkar. We need 7 batsmen for comfort zone. Exprimenting with Irfan is fine but not on Knock out match when it is not working.

Should Sourav be in playing XI for the first Test?
A lot has happened since I had my last post. Many changes for better. If you have gone through my previous post you will instantly recognise that I am not the greatest fan of Ganguly. But I feel that he should be in the playing XI for the first test. At whose cost he should brought in ? I am not sure about it. But he should be given a fair chance.
If Ganguly is given an opportunity to open I think he should take it. As Yuvraj is playing nice in middle order I dont think so he will be opening or in worst case he might be dropped in favour of Ganguly If India opts for regualr openers.
Yesterday I saw an interview of Chappel on Ganguly. It looks as if he is saying that Ganguly is going to sit in bench. I am not happy about it.He is not our best test batsmen but still a good bat whom I believe still can contribute to Indian cricket with World Cup in mind.
His achivements in ODI's are second only to Tendulkar. As far as ODI's are considered he can still win matches for India and and score big. He should be there in our World Cup team. But his test record is not that impressive. He can be given a clear time frame to perform or be out of the Test squad not be just dumped as happened in third test.
My Squad for first test will be
Shewag
Ganguly
Dravid
Tendulkar
Laxman
Yuvraj
Dhoni
Irfan
Agarkar
Harbajan
Kumble
