Asia Cup 2010 - Sri Lanka

Bangladesh for victory. India and Pakistan are by far the most unpredictable teams in World Cricket. Pinning hopes upon either is hazardous :p

Ban v Srl in the final

Don't know about India, but Pakistan is very predictable these days. All we do is lose. I can always easily predict the batting collapses that we have.
 
Talk about collapse :sarcasm pfft you know nothing about it.
 
Yuvraj Singh Dropped !

Sachin Tendulkar rested on request !

:eek:
 
Saurabh Tiwary included ; Yusuf Pathan dropped.

Ashok Dinda and R Ashwin retained, a very good decision tbh.
 
Saurabh Tiwary called up. :)

A bit unfair on Manoj Tiwary I guess, who should've been ahead of Saurabh, but oh well. Still a good pick.

Tendulkar rested for Asia Cup | Cricket News | Asia Cup 2010 | Cricinfo.com

Cricinfo said:
Squad: MS Dhoni (capt & wk), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Praveen Kumar, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Pragyan Ojha, Ashok Dinda, R Ashwin, Saurabh Tiwary.

Dinda retained, gah. He's not that great. Praveen's back, yay. Rohit retained as expected. Yusuf and Yuvi dropped.

And the selectors have picked the same bowling attack - Zak, Praveen & Nehra.
 
Hey is Tiwary the same MI guy with long hair?
If yes then that is a great decision :yes.

Yes. But, if Uthappa was fit, he would've probably been selected.

Who would've thought that we'd see 2 players from Jharkhand in the National squad? Dhoni and Saurabh. Really doubt that he'll get a chance to play, but he's a good finisher option. But, I do think that the India A tour of England would've been a better experience for him.

Sehwag
Gambhir
Kohli
MSD
Raina
Rohit/Saurabh
Jadeja
Ashwin
Praveen
Zak
Nehra/Ojha

That's probably going to be the line-up.

At least we've got some firepower in the Indian team now. Tendulkar rested again? He didn't play the T20 World Cup nor the Zimbabwe Tri-Series. Having said that, he's getting older and I guess we need to preserve him for the bigger fixtures to come.

He asked to be rested, so that he could spend time with his children, ahead of the hectic schedule after the Asia Cup. Personal choice, not the selectors' decision.

I think you missed out Harbhajan. He is likely to be in place of Ashwin. Its a new look India lineup, and if Sharma/Kohli/Raina do well, its likely Yuvraj wont get his callup soon.

I dont know much about Tiwari other than IPL. Did he do well in the domestic circuit? Personally speaking I would have prefered the other Tiwari over him. Manoj looks an exciting prospect.
