IF we can get our team selection right, we should win this one. We went in against AUSTRALIA with 3 freaking front line bowlers. I hate this stupid Harbhajan opening the bowling crap, if you want a spinner to do that job I think Yusuf would be the best bet.
But I would drop him. Drop Ravi Jadeja too, he isn't offering ANYTHING to the team that we don't have already. Raina, Yuvraj, etc all are just as good with the ball, his slot would be better utilized by a specialist.
I would play 3 seamers also. I HATE this whole Umesh Yadav thing, once again an Indian fast bowler selected JUST because of pace. He doesn't have a line/length at all and averaged over 30 in the IPL, just imagine how much stick he's going to go for in an international game. I would play Vinay, I have faith in him to deliver.
Rohit Sharma batted well so I will regretfully give him a spot.
Also - this is Yuvraj Singh's last chance for me. He better do something really, really special (or just not mess up for once)
