In todays test, finally dhoni won the toss and elected to bat. the squad was a full strength one . but in bowling department, sree was given preference over Ishanth. do you think that its a fair move? in last test sree didnt performed well, but ithink that dhoni might have though to try him once more, waht do you feel? is it a good choice?

I think Dhoni is looking at next series against South Africa where he will require 3 pace bowlers. Sreesanth bowled well in the 2 innings against Australia. He is a rhythm bowler and before the important series against South Africa, Dhoni wants Sreesanth to get his rhythm back. Also Sreesanth performed well in the last tour to South Africa, so Dhoni wants to give enough match practice for As far as Ishanth is concerned, I think he will also get chance in the series maybe the last match.

if i am kept at dhoni place i will also take sreeshant because he is a aggressive bowler and he bowled well when india need him. ishanth is also a good bowler but ae had less experience as well as he does not retain his original strength when once thrashed by the batsmen. dhni had taken the right choice and he will win the match if india make more than 500 runs in fist inning. and the remaining job will be done by ous bowlers including sreesant.

I think it might be a move to give Ishaanth a bit more rest before the South African tour. Also I think for the SA wickets Sreesanth might be a better fit and Dhoni must be hoping to give him chance to come back to form. So I think for now this decision by Dhoni is quite ok. Cheers! Ram

everyone should be given a fair chance and i think it is a good move to prepare all of your players before the world cup so that you have myriad of options before the world cup to choose a best player from them for the cup battlefield. and this time as the world cup is in india there is huge possibility and pressure on the indian side... give chance to all players whether it is a bowler or a batsman.
