The Indian cricket team management has been struggling to arrive at a strategy in terms of the number of bowlers to be included in the playing eleven.
For me it is very simple, we should always go with 7 batsmen (including our rockstar wicketkeeper). In Tendulkar, Yuvraj & Ganguly we definitely have the skill and experience to share at least 10 overs. For God's sake, Tendulkar has more than a 100 wickets in one dayers! I am sure if he had been bowling regularly, he would have had more than 250 to his credit today :-) Ganguly is a pain in the **** with his slow medium deliveries and Yuvraj has proved to be an effective slow bowler more than once. I would go with 4 regular bowlers even if it is a belter of a pitch.
Agreed that once in a while there will be situations where part-timers (read Yuvraj) will get hit for 5 sixes in an over, but we will also have an extra No. 7 batsman (read Robin) in the team to see us through ...
