BCCI anounces World cup squad!!! Well.. Not much of a surprise...

Tweet

Looks like BCCI want to play safe. Here is the 15 member Squad- Rahul(Cap),Sachin, Ganguly,YuvRaj,Sehwag,Dhoni, Irfan pathan,Harbhajan,Kumble,Zaheer,Agarkar,Munaf,Dinesh Karthic,Sreesanth and Robin Uthappa. Looking at the world cup squad it seems they've finally valued experience over the current form and performance; quite evident from inclusion of Sehwag ,Sourav and Irfan.The Team is expected to leave on Feb 28. However , I still feel that the team lacks confidence and it has not been performing as much as they can.In particular , the fielding has been pathetic for a while(now thats close to 2 years..), though now they have shown sign of improvement(Hmm.. good timing!!! ).Their performance has been , I think, decent but not up to the mark, even at home. The weakness what I sense is whether our the batting line up will it flourish under the West Indian bowlers and bowling conditions .Add to this the pace attack of Australia or South Africa which are definitely a formidable one.Time and again, consistency of our batsmen(especially our 'Big Guns') is what worries me. In retrospect ,Bowling has never been able to reach the glory our batsmen had brought.I just pin my hopes on the experience of Pathan ,Zaheer and Kumble and possibly Harbajan, who I feel will do thier trick when needed.The Bowling conditions of most WestIndian pitches do support pace Bowlers to a large extent, and sometime weather plays its part as a spoilsport or catalyst. On whole what I dont unerstand with BCCI is : Are they seriously gearing up the team for the WC matches and helping the team putting in serious practice.With 27 days to go for the big event, I still see India busy with an international series; Well... the players are not be blamed. Guys !! this depicts some sort of smugness.Do you remember the we used to take 15 -20 days off for our exam in school just to get that extra edge and max the exams! Well may be International Cricket doesn't work that way...may be I don't understand the game and the nitty- gritty of facing the Ultimate tournament of the game. But I still sense of impending gloom this World Cup season for the Indian team...For the first time I wish My intuition doesn't work.MAY THE FORCE BE with them. What do you think
