Well versus bangladesh Sreesanth was the only failure from the indian squad . rest all the 10 players were outstanding in whatever role they were given . nehra , the most experienced bowler was sidelined to play sreesanth in the eleven . However in south africa nehra was flopping in every one dayer and again and again he was given a chance . so sreesanth deserves it.

yes he is not playing well and i think he tries to many things and does not concentrate on the very basics. if he keeps performing like this i am sure he will be dropped. nehra on the other hand has done well, has exp in playing world cups and i think he will be a better pick.

Actually, I would say neither. Though Nehra has been taking wickets off and on, he has been very costly. Sreesanth was really bad against Bangladesh. I would say play the extra spinner in Ashwin for the match. Anyhow England are a bit dicey against spinners and that would work to India's advantage. Kohli can bowl seamers if we do require a third seam bowling option after Zaheer and Munaf. Cheers! Ram

Well both of these players are good and have shown very brilliant performance from time to time and contributed in victory of India. As of now, in last match match Sreesanth was not looking in the form, although Nehra is a good bowler as well. So perhaps against SA he stand a chance over Sreesanth, who is not looking in a touch.

if its the choice etween sree and nehra in the match vs england, than it would be nehra, because sree has not utilised the chance given to him. but sree should be given chance vs ireland. and i dont think we need 3 pacers vs england, england dont handle spin well, so there will be only 2 pacers and one more spinner will be quiet usefull in indian pitches.

Sreesanth has a bad average and an economy rate coupled with bad temparament and to an extent aggression..he is in a desperate need for a councelling session (ha!)...it was a bad day for him, so ideally he should get a chance...Nehra was injured on the eve of the match and hence Sree got a chance...but Nehra is no good either due to his recent bashing in ODI's in SA according to me neither should get a chance and we should play with 2 specialist spinners..

i would also go on for nehara. atleast his economy is not as high as sreesanth has.and really bowling is the only negetive point in this world cup for india. lets see.

yes my friend. I think this time Nehra must be given a chance. Also sreesanth is ruining INDIA's name by picking fights with other team players despite the warning from BCCI and Dhoni.
