And I am dying to watch the T20 World Cup that gets under way in a few days from now and Dhoni's boys have their task cut out; bowl well -field well-bat well and in no particular order
India lacks a leg break bowler par excellence a la Lakshman Sivaramakrishnan, immortalised by the Amul Ad O Lakshmana!Siva!Rama!Krishna! help us
His repertoire of googlies-flippers-topspinners bamboozled the best of the best and the best of the worst.His naggling length and that wonderful trajectory made him the darling of many a cricket thespian.
His catching or fielding of his own bowling was the hallmark of his bowling and earned him several wickets
The group C should have been named Group D or the group of death with all the potential T20 world cup winners bundled up into one Australia-Sri Lanka and West Indies with the brute Gayle or storm
Group AGroup BGroup CGroup DIndia Pakistan Australia New Zealand Bangladesh England Sri Lanka South Africa Ireland Netherlands West Indies Scotland Group E A1, B2, C1, D2 Group F B1, A2, C2, D1
India can be ruffled by Bangladesh if the punters have their way
Gautam Gambhir-Sehwag-Yusuf Pathan-Rohit Sharma can upset the bowling applecart of the very best
Ishant Sharma is a rythm bowler and hope he sings a class tune
Harbhajan has lost the looping delivery or the loop in his delivery and so also his doosra has become a teesra down the leg for four
Pragyan Ojha has an idle approach to the wicket but a stinging trajectory which with the English breeze can create a drift like no other.
That reminds me of the best left arm spinner according to me and that is our very own Maninder Singh whence he burst onto the scene with his fantastic bowling action and an "armer" that could knock the wind out of its bails oops! sails
Graham Gooch's taming of the shrew act in the 1987 world cup took some sheen away from him but I still regard him as the best I have ever seen--in terms of economy-guile-incision-precisi

Let us hope India regains the T20 World Cup!
