selectors sleepwalk to t20 world cup team...

this is my first reaction when i saw the team...

apparently they do not like to learn from history... so they have picked yuvraj singh like they selected sehwag last time, more in hope (and on reputation) than on fitness and form... and here's our chief selector who not so long ago vowed to the whole nation to never pick an injured player again... what a way to 'keep' his promise...

all i can say about rohit sharma's selection is that i have never seen a player being selected so often on promise only... a certain manish pandey has every reason to feel unlucky to miss out... coz he has not only shown promise but delivered consistently... across various platforms...

but the surprise selection is chawla's return... obviously ojha and mishra lost the battle for the second spinner's spot not with chawla the spinner... but chawla the batsman... i can already see them hitting net not with ball but bat in hand... which is unfortunate...

here is the squad...

MS Dhoni (capt & wk), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Yusuf Pathan, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja, Zaheer Khan, Praveen Kumar, Ashish Nehra, Harbhajan Singh, Piyush Chawla, Vinay Kumar, Rohit Sharma
