This message is to the BCCI, The Indian Manager & the Captain of the 20/20 World cup cricket.
I have been watching the world cup matches and I have a strong reason to believe that India will win this cup. However there are a couple of suggestions that I would like to offer.
1. Joginder Sharma should not be in the team. I have watched him bowl in the last 2 games & he is just not cricketing material. I have no idea on what basis he was selected but to be honest he is only good for "gully" cricket. He lacks the pace and in the match SA vs India on a day when every bowler swung the ball, this chap could do nothing. He reminds me of Agarkar bowling during the India/England one dayers. No rhythm, no passion and no killer instinct. Even the commentators noticed it. If either of these bowlers are selected they not only will give away 40 plus runs in their 4 overs but they will also ensure India's defeat. If a bowler is required, then Chawla should get the nod. He is a young leg spinner, a good fielder & a wicket taking bowler. Most batsmen cannot read his spin well. Sure he will go for runs but he is very likely to also get you wickets.
2. Dinesh Karthik should be in the side. His fielding alone is an asset to any team. The catch that he took to dismiss Smith was the finest, I have seen. As far as I can remember only Jonty Rhodes was better. Being a wicket keeper he has no fear of diving either to his left or right and therefore is capable of some remarkable saves.
3. India should bat first if we win the toss. India has not had a great record chasing, has almost never played well under pressure and hence their best bet is to bat first. Even if they are able to post a modest total batting first, they will be able to put the pressure on the opposition.
I hope someone reads this message and conveys it to the team before their game tomorrow.
