Laxmi Ratan Shukla- time for the blue uniform?

[Cruxdude]

I wouldn't want LR Shukla anywhere near the Indian team. We should not play a bits & pieces player just for the sake of playing an all-rounder. Think we should use this team for the WC

Sehwag
Tendulkar
Gambhir
Yuvraj
Kohli
Raina
Dhoni
Bhajji
Praveen Kumar
Zaheer
Nehra

I hope Indian selectors don't read this...

What is so wrong with it? Most Indian selections have at least one questionable selection anyway.

The batting looks great but the bowling is far too weak. I mean if our best bowlers are going at 6-7 rpo to the likes of Franklin I can really see 350 being commonplace at the WC. Pathan's recent bowling performances (domestic and the recent ODI) more so than his batting has convinced me that we need him. Either Yuvraj or Kohli have to make way for him IMO.

One questionable selection is better than 5-6 absurd selections.
