coaches always try to make a combination as batting line ups as in fielding too. just becuz every player know his role in field and when he field in ground they could not feel any type of difficulty or uniqueness at their place

not captaincy atleast they have to let him to play as a member. we need desperately experiance in the alien conditions like WI,ENG,AUS,SA,NZ.....\nindian team is looking very patchy because no one is there with real good experiance except DRAVID,KUBLE and LAXMAN..... \nWHY dont we give chance to GANGULY,AGARKAR(who is the only bowler to impress in onedayers against WI because of experiance) \n\nDAMN BULLSHIT PLANNING BY CHAPPEL AND BLOODY SHORT GUY KIRAN MORE AND OTHER GREAT PEOPLE WHO NEVER KNOW HOW TO CATCH A BALL IN BCCI \nSHOULD TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND THINK BOUT IT AND DO SOME THING QUICKLY SO THAT WE CAN BE GOOD TEAM IN WI IN 2007 . \n\nmind that we lost to no 9 team in world and if it is the case with AUS,SA,ENG,NZ  AND OTHER THEN WHAT IS OUR PLAN????????? IN THE SAME PLASES WE ARE GOING TO PLAY IN 2007 ......

Dhoni is the ideal man becuase he can make use of the first power play and score quick runs.1 wicket is not such a big deal, and the risk of sending can be taken at that point, because even if he loses his wicket, the other batsmen can steady the ship , play defensive for a while and then score quickly when settled.

I would like to drop virender sehwag.He is not in a good form.Ganguly should be in the team and should open the innings with uthhapa.

A similar question was asked earlier too. I am copying my same answer about POWER PLAY.\n\nPower Play has been around for quite a while now to make cricket a bit more interesting.\n\nEarlier, Field Restrictions used to be for the first 15 overs. During those 15 overs, only 2 players are allowed to field outside the circle.\n\nBut now, this field restriction rule is innovated a bit. Instead of 15 overs, the restriction is for 20 overs. But the interesting part is, it's not the first 20 overs.\nRestriction for the first 10 overs is still a MUST. The next 10 can be broken down into 5 each. These 5 overs, with the field restriction, can be bowled anytime during the innings. The bowling Captain has the right to decide when he wants to bowl those pairs of 5 overs.\n\nMost captains use these pair of 5 overs all at once, making it 20 overs in a row for field restriction.\n\nThe reason why this Rule was imposed was to make cricket little less boring. Because during mid innings, between 20 to 40 overs, the innings slows down considerably. With this rule, the batsmen can have a chance of attacking if the field restrictions (or POWER PLAY) are imposed during those dead overs.\n\nRegarding the benefit to team: It only benefits the batting team, because they have the chance to score more boundaries. The job of the bowling captain is to use it effectively, and not allow too many runs during those overs. That's one of the reasons why bowling team prefers bowling 20 overs in one go (they don't want to keep those overs till the end with the slog overs when the batsmen go all out for hitting/slogging.). One more reason is, they can take more wickets early on in the innings if the POWER PLAYS are used early (so that the batsmen try to hit and lose their wickets). \n\nThe 2 pairs of 5 overs are usually referred as POWER PLAY (power play 1 & power play 2).\n\nHope, that makes it clear.

Actually the Indian plight is that it has only two batsmen: Tendulkar and Dravid. Tendulkar is on the slide. India must play atleast 6 batsmen. Raina, Kaif, Jaffer and Mongia are just pushovers. Technically very poor. Pathan could be played as a batsman.\n\nLaxman, Ganguly, Gambhir should join the team. Actually Vengsarkar and Greg want good fielders not batsmen. Hopeless attitude. \nA great follower of the game, like me, has started missing the telecast and instead I watch matches wherein India does not figure.

agree. it is more useful to take these type of young talents in the team rather than that of kaif, mongia,sehwag etc. who failed to perform consistantly

Previously, in ODI's, there were no fielding restrictions. The fielding captain could keep his players anywhere he wanted. Then, around the World Cup in 1996, ICC introduced the 15 over field restriction rule. Only 2 fielders were allowed outside the 30 yard circle from the batsmen for the first 15 overs on an innings. And from the 16th over, 5 fielders were allowed to move out. One more important aspect of that rule was that two fielders had to be in catching positions - 15 yards from the batsmen, till the field restrictions applied.\n\nNow, in mid 2005, ICC - headed by one of the slowest batsman - Sunil Gawaskar came up with some changes in the restriction rule. The previous 15 overs of Field restriction is increased to 20 over - in three blocks, called Power Play.\n\nPower Play 1 - Its mandatory for the first 10 overs of an innings in a one day cricket match. Only two fielders outside 30 yards from the batsmen. And two fielders have to be at catching positions..\n\nPower Play 2 and 3 - These are two blocks of 5 overs each. The fielding captain decides when he wants to employ these two block. The moment he calls for the second power play and the third power play, 5 overs from that particular over will have only two fielders outside the 30 yards circle. A captain can't chose for a power play in the middle on an over. He has to tell the umpire in the starting of an over. For example, if the batting team is scoring freely, he can chose not to take power play after the first 10 overs and set fielders at the boundary. And when he sees that run rate in back in control, he can take power play from that over. It can be from 11th over or 21st over. But he has to take these two blocks within those 40 overs. Otherwise, the last 10 overs will automatically be Power Plays.\n\nNote - No catching fielders required during the Power plays. Only for the first 10 overs of the match.

The batsman does not get a run if a bowler bowls a wide.\nIt goes only to the team.\nIt does not even add to the bowler's figures. But he would have to bowl an extra ball.

HE  SIGNED WITH ENGLISH COUNTY TEAM.\nHIS PERFORMANCE WILL BE WATCHED SHARPLY BY SELECTORS.\n\nIF THE TEAM INDIA PERFORMED POOR IN WINDIES, GANGULY'S CHANCES ARE MORE TO BACK IN INDIAN TEAM.

There are a number of exciting players around, but the few that could have a big impact, especially with the smaller grounds in the Caribbean, are:\n\nYuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina (as a young prospect), Kevin Pietersen, Chris Gayle, Afridi.\n\nIn terms of bowlers & all rounders, expect Murali, Dwayne Bravo and Andrew Symonds to play big parts for their teams.\n\nWe could all say Lara, Tendulkar & Ponting, but it would be great to see some of these other players performing.

GANGULY\nHE PLAY FOR TEAM NOT FOR HIS OWN RECORDS\n\nLOOK AT HIS PERFORMANCE IN FINAL MATCHES.\n\nDRAVID PLAYS VERY SLOW. \nI REMEMBER THAT IN ONE MATCH, INDIA NEEDS 10 RUNS IN LAST OVER AND STRIKER IS DRAVID, BUT DRAVID FAIL TO MAKE 10 RUNS AND INDIA LOST THE MATCH.\nIF HE CAN'T MAKE RUN THEN HE SHOULD LEAVE THE CREASE.

In case there's any confusion Saj Mahmood is not the one that wears a turban - that's Monty Panesar - and it's ludicrous to suggest either of them are in the team for racial or political reasons.\n\nSaj is clearly a promising bowler - yes he is erratic at present as many young bowlers are when they first come onto the international scene: Anderson and Harmison are two prime examples of this.  Saj is quick, he's taken some wickets - but more importantly he was believed to be able to reverse the ball and so someone who could deputise for the terminally crocked Jones.  That's why he's there - Fletch likes to have bowlers with different styles that can fulfill different roles within the attack and so complement each other, making for a balanced side.  \n\nIf I'm honest, at the moment, I'm far more concerned about Fletcher and Flintoff's judgement in picking Geraint Jones over Reid rather than Mahmood.

...itz almost near, but you see\n\n3 specialist all rounders (excluding Ganguly)\n7 specialist batsmen (including Dhoni)\n6 specialist bowlers\n\nSo we have 9 specialists + 3 optional bowlers in your side and \n7 specialist + 3 optional (all rounders) are there...So why can't you drop 1 or 2 from the bowler's list and prefer batsman..?\nSince JPYadav has got chance earlier, I prefer jogindersingh among the all rounders...\n\nSo my  decision will be including Laxman (if Raina is not clicking again) & Dinesh Karthick - \ninstead of JPYadav & AAgarkar.\n\nIf you still need one bowler, either YMahesh or VRV Singh can be brought alongwith Laxman.
