Pathan seems to have lost the swing while bowling and is only able to swing the bat for nothing. <BR/><BR/>As for 7 batsman, I wonder if it has anything to do with Dhoni's superstition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-8531051368006192102008-07-06T16:13:00.000+04:002008-07-06T16:13:00.000+04:00I expected the 200 before as well during the Asia ...I expected the 200 before as well during the Asia Cup.

Wonder why Dhoni continues to bank on 7 batsmen.<BR/><BR/>A bowler instead would have been better. Chawla for instance - 2 spinners would have been good on such a pitch.<BR/><BR/>But then with chasing in mind, maybe the 7 batsmen will come into play.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947332468863567271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-79265050754661897592008-07-06T15:14:00.000+04:002008-07-06T15:14:00.000+04:00Or for that matter what is Robin Uthappa doing in ...Or for that matter what is Robin Uthappa doing in the team? except for maybe Dhoni's penchant of throwing a surprise in the finals with the team composition. Instead Yusuf would have been more handy given that you just have 4 front line bowlers and he could have chipped in with his fastish off-breaks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
