I boycot this thread. Cheetah has sole reponsibility of opening threads for games involving India. :D

I demand Captain1 be demoted to Cafe for good. Copy and paste without the involvement of Notepad is no longer an option.

Re: 1st ODI, Pak vs Ind, DLF CUP, April 18
Indian final XI should be :
Robin Uthappa
Virender Sehwag
*Rahul Dravid](http://usa.cricinfo.com/india/content/player/28114.html)
Yuvraj Singh
Suresh Raina
Mohammad Kaif
+MS Dhoni](http://usa.cricinfo.com/india/content/player/28081.html)
Irfan Pathan
Harbhajan Singh
Sreesanth

I dont think palaying 2 spinner against pak wil be good Idea. So Powar goes. Fifth bowler will be Yuvi ,Raina & Sehwag.

only 3 pacers?
Re: 1st ODI, Pak vs Ind, DLF CUP, April 18
I would rather have Munaf Patel in the side as oppose to VRV or RP. Patel needs to grow his stature for the World Cup, and he can only do so through practice and more practice. There is no use playing an added seamer as it will prolong the tail-ender line. The team proposed by Fair_&_Balance Bhai seems quite suitable.
Re: 1st ODI, Pak vs Ind, DLF CUP, April 18
your comments make one think of Munna Patel as spinner 
Re: 1st ODI, Pak vs Ind, DLF CUP, April 18
From my understanding (please do correct if I am mistaken), Mohammad Yousuf recently attended his ailing wife (reported somewhere I don't recall now), and if this is true, he would be doubtful starter for at least the First One Day.
Re: 1st ODI, Pak vs Ind, DLF CUP, April 18
Salman Butt
Shahid Afridi
Younis Khan
*Inzamam-ul-Haq
Faisal Iqbal
Shoaib Malik
Kamran Akmal
Abdul Razzaq
Mohammad Asif
Tahir Khan
Abdul Rahman
(The last two should be selected for the next two games to see how they fare in the International arena).
Sidelines = Danish Kaneria, Rana Naveed, Mohammad Yousuf (questionable)
Re: 1st ODI, Pak vs Ind, DLF CUP, April 18
Yep... Cant have very long tail. There are already 3 bunnies.
Re: 1st ODI, Pak vs Ind, DLF CUP, April 18
Dhobi bhai, Butt is dropped from the Pak team for this series. Select your team again. 
Re: 1st ODI, Pak vs Ind, DLF CUP, April 18
Tahir Khan Abdul Rahman
(The last two should be selected for the next two games to see how they fare in the International arena).
Aren't they both spinners? Also, Tahir Khan is not even in the squad as is Salman Butt missing (pointed by Indian_Teen)
Re: 1st ODI, Pak vs Ind, DLF CUP, April 18
Imran Farhat
Shahid Afridi
Younis Khan
*Inzamam-ul-Haq

Shoaib Malik
+Kamran Akmal
Abdul Razzaq

Sidelines = Mohammad Yousuf, Danish Kaneria, Iftikhar Anjum (to be sent to domestic cricket).
Please delete my above two posts.
Edit: Thanks for the deletion. :)
Re: 1st ODI, Pak vs Ind, DLF CUP, April 18
That reminds me, are we running Fantasy Cricket for this thing?
Re: 1st ODI, Pak vs Ind, DLF CUP, April 18
dhobi_bhai: Yousuf is in UAE, actually he arrived an hour earlier than the team, coz he took flight from Khi. So he should be playing the first game. Now change ur team please
Re: 1st ODI, Pak vs Ind, DLF CUP, April 18
On GEO they reported the pitch is batting friendly because people want to see ton of runs. I guess its going to be big score games....
Can we have 400+ each inning...:D
Re: 1st ODI, Pak vs Ind, DLF CUP, April 18
i think its a better idea to play powar over kaif; powar can bat and is a good turner of the ball. But maybe not, pakis are better players of spin than England. Is there any other substitute for mohammad kaif?????I know gambhir cannot be one.
Re: 1st ODI, Pak vs Ind, DLF CUP, April 18
i dont see why agarkar should be left out. he has done well lately.
