Well the quarter final between India and the present world champions australia is only 2 days after and the ppitch curator has given out the news . the pitch has got 15% grass on it . Spiners will have a role but no spin available that means india will have to go for three semaers too and this will help them a bit less than australia . although yes , Zak is in great form so as Munaf patel .
So my question is
third seamer should be ASHISH NEHRA or SREESANTH who is forgotten just afterone chance .
Lets start a poll
1- Sreesanth :- 0 vote
2- nehra :- 0 vote
as such.

I think to choose nehra rather than sreesanth as nehra can do well on these track and one day he didn't ball well it not mean he gon bad. He is better than sreeshant right now and ball well.

A little bit of grass on the pitch is good news. A dry dust track does not help anybody least of all for India who has to depend so much on batting to win the matches. Although Australia equipped to exploit the grass on the surface India also got one of the better bowlers in world cricket to exploit those conditions. I would not though advocate fielding third seamer in place of a spinner because India's strength is in spin and not in pace. A good spinner can extract spin from any track. I feel India should persist with its team played in last match barring Sehwag who should come in place of Raina. Raina does not seem to have recovered fully from the bad memories of South Africa tour.

I think little grass on the pitch it means there is something for the fast bowlers and as the times goes spinners will also get some extra bounce which is good news for India because Harbhajan Singh will get lot of extra bounce on wicket/Pitch like this So I Believe Ashwin is also good choice with bhajji..,Because Australia plays fast bowling well but they fall down against spin..there are no such great players of spin except hussey and clarke both are not in form..But If India want to take an extra Fast Bowler than My Vote is for SREESANTH because he is a good out swing bowler,I know he will be expensive but he will pick up early wkts which is needed at the moment...
