NZ SERIES N WC 2011

After the no1 test team defeated the no1ODI team completely, INDIA now gears up for a Diwali gift series with the kiwis,Kiwis are coming off a horror series in bangladesh losing 4-0.In win Bangladesh has put more pressure on us to win the matches easily ,we may do that as well but is this ideal for wc ? The focus is not this series its SA tour that we concentrating more on.Senior players being rested but i doubt if SA tour more important then WC2011 !! BCCI could have been better off arranging this tour before aussies n kiwis which would have been better preparation for the world cup .Imagine the confidence aussies would have left losing to Indians.After all white wash no1 team just b4 wc always prefered. All said INDIA still need to settle on their team combination yet yes Viru,Gauti,Sachin,Raina,MSD,Bhajji,Zak,Yuvi auto select themsevles.But trouble is every time we expect so much from our youngsters( who shine in IPL) they fail on big day.ROHIT, KOHLI,ROBIN,have got many chances n now KOHLI seems to settling in the most but still its his position thats hard to cement.We lack a fast bowler to hit deck hard and have some pace too.In zak we do have experience but its not good when u dont have back up from other end.PK comes to help here but he lacks fire when there is no swing available for him,Spin being lead by Bhajji does not inspire confidence as well n with time Bhajji has become more of contention bowler then wicket taking option.We are missing an all rounder who can bat anywhere n bowl 10 overs too some one like Irfan pathan but our selectors just dont want him in squad too.With contest for just 4 spots in team India does have chance to win the world cup but we also need more brainy BCCI to plan tours according to our cricket and not as per their hunger for money !!
