Re: India v West Indies, 1st ODI, Nagpur
There was a time when Rahul Dravid kept wickets in ODIs so an extra batsman could be accommodated. Now , such is the drought in the batting department that we have not one but two regular wicketkeepers in the side because there is no body else to fill the batting positions.
And to top it all - Gambhir & Ganguly - 2 left handers whose limitations against fast bowling is well known - would be our openers.
Now these guys may just do well at home against West Indies - but I see absolutely NO HOPE from this team in the World Cup.
