Do you recommend any changes for the Indian batting line-up in the next game? We have to cosider India's poor batting record for the past few matches. As the next match is very important India needs to win to be sure of a semi-final berth.
Considering India's next match where a win against the West Indies is very important, I think at now we should not go for any change. All the players should bat at their normal positions. India needs Sehwag to score runs in the match to keep the winning chance alive.
I think in next matches agianst West Indies we should make one change. I think Rahul Dravid should come at number three postion because he is great batsmen and also he is out of form now. Pathan should be dropped at no. 7.
1. 2 fiftys from salid n 30 adds from hitters will be give 250 runs on board
2. Accoring to situation, players can change order (Pathan & Raina can change vice versa; no other change not advicable)
3. Partership is very important atleast one 100 runs partnership need from any top order; orwise its Indain's dewali gift to WI to play Semi.......

its an interesting way of lining up the team, but one which i actually practice
when i skipper the team, i always have 2-3 batsmen padded up (not because i expect a batting collapse!), but they are batsmen of 3 different types
1 will be a defensive - dravidesque kind of player
2 will be a pinch hitter/powerful hitter - like a sehwag/pathan
3 will be one who is a fast runner and supports the other player
depending on the bowling, and also the current situation, you keep the next position fluid
however, this comes along with its own negative points, such as no consistency amongst the batting line up, the lack of concentration for some players who dont know they are goign in next for definate, etc
I totally agree with you emjay that we should have three batsmen padded up who can bats accoroding to condition. If we have bad start than defensive player should come first. If we have good start than we should put powerful hitter and we need some fast runs than we should put fast runner.
