In the news... just now. A minor elbow injury but I hope that doesn't keep him out.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Yuvraj Singh is not playing , he is getting repalced by Dinesh Karthik

 

[harishankar]

Bad news for India. THis was a tough match and Yuvraj's hitting form was great.

Dinesh Karthik cannot match his stroke play. Let's hope Dhoni and Uthappa come to the party.

well, there goes any chances of getting into the semi's, i mean the bowling attack is not that good and its only the openers who are batting well

 

[zub2005]

damn. that is bad news.

 

[Leggie]

oh crap not dinesh karthik, he can't hit a 6 if his life depended on it....

At the moment its only Karthik who can repalce him

alright then play rohit sharma because he hasnt shown us what he can do yet and we already know that karthik can't play in a quick scoring match....so really we're losing either way

You forget one thing, it was Karthik who won for India last time when India faced Saffers during India tour to South Africa he might play a great knock today and he know pressure is on him, this might be the day for him

yes but that was something like 31 off 29 balls, thats not really good enough and it was against a weakened SA side, and its now confirmed that yuvi is out and karthik is out, india batting first, dhoni shouldnt have batted first especially with a weakened side

 

[manee]

Yuvraj has not been picked because of a forearm injury and he has been replaced by Dinesh Karthik.

 

[Leggie]

so this effectively means that india have to rely on sehwag, gambhir, dhoni, uthappa and pathan to do the big hitting....

only 5 batsmen then

Rohit Sharma has a very good twenty20 SR of over 140 IIRC and Joginder Sharma is a capable hitter too.

 

[Adarsh]

Oh crap. This is bad news. Yuvraj is good form is nearly unstoppable, and I'm not getting carried away. I count him as a bigger hitter than Dhoni in the Indian side

 

[usy]

India have won ...


the toss . Wish the match aswell.
