11 players / 6 Allrounders = 320/8

Yusuf Pathan, Irfan Pathan and Ravindra Jadeja are in the side as genuine allrounders. Raina, Sehwag and Yuvraj can all bowl pretty decently. Rohit Sharma can bowl, but he didn't bowl too much. When was the last time you saw a side with 3 genuine allrounders still go ahead and use the 3 partnership breakers and one other guy who could roll his arm over? All in all 9 bowlers were used, they might as well have gone and used Gambhir and maybe even Dhoni could have given himself a bowl.

Its fun to have genuine allrounders at numbers 7,8 and 9. Its even more fun when they don't have to bat.

Remember when all 11 bowlers were used by a team? including the keeper?

That it isn't Ankit...
NC, Surely Uthappa is more economical than Sreesanth, he's been leaking over 4 runs an over consistently.

Achettup,

The fact that we have 3 genuine all rounders AND 3 partnership breakers and yet this is not our best team is the most fun of all!

Cheers,
