Anyone care to give me hints on what the starting lineups will be

 

[SaiSrini]

The Indian starting line up most probably would be:

Gautam Gambhir
Virender Sehwag
Rahul Dravid
Mohammed Kaif
Saurav Ganguly
VVS Laxman
Dinesh Karthick
Harbhajan Singh
Anil Kumble
Irfan Pathan
Zaheer Khan/L.Balaji

Since its going to be a similar wicket to the one where the three day match was played, playing two spinners would be a very good idea and the combination of Kumble-Harbhajan works best when playing together!

And most probably, Ganguly's favorite Zaheer would get a look in though I would want Pathan and Balaji to renew their combination which was lethal in Pakistan!

 

[ZexyZahid]

There is no Coventry in the list. That is disappointing.

 

[aussie1st]

I was scrolling through the teams. Interesting seeing quite a few of use have Ganguly as captain. Of course a few also have Sehwag as captain.

 

[akira2291]

i have anil kumble as captain

 

[ZexyZahid]

The allrounder option was no good. I knew Agarkar wouldn't play, but I still chose him. But Utseya didn't play either. In the didn't only with ten players someone can win some cash here.

Surprised to see that some people still have faith in Ganguly. :

 

[akira2291]

thats true, many have choosen ganguly as captain. its okay with the allrounder thing, everyone plays with 10 players, so thats okay, i think.

 

[aussie1st]

I honestly thought my A/R was playing lol. Oh well at least Agarkar didn't.

I was also surpised in the faith on Ganguly. The top 3 is the way to go as you can't predict what will happen against Zim.

 

[aussie1st]

Ganguly is going quite well. Those that doubled him could go very well.

 

[akira2291]

not could, they will. the ppl who choose ganguly as captain and laxman as player will be in the first 5. pathan man of da match? sure.

 

[akira2291]

what in the hell are the indian bowler doing?

 

[aussie1st]

Oh well another series another miss If only i doubled Pathan.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I think the persons who had Ganguly for them it worked out well.

And I just realised Kaif didn't play. That's surprising. Especially after his performance in the Videocon Series.

 

[akira2291]

thats also my fault. selecting kaif. i know one indian bowler will do great, unfortunately ive choosen the wrong seems i will miss this one.
