Should India have sent in Harbhajan?

Pathan is the cleanest hitter.

I can't think of any other sport where if you're unfit to play, you can keep going while dismissing part of your responsibilities. Needs its own thread, won't continue on here.

Yea, I think there's an argument to be made here. OF course, bowlers and fielders would start becoming 'head hunters' so to speak.I can't think of any other sport where if you're unfit to play, you can keep going while dismissing part of your responsibilities.

Would the possibility of evening dew, combined with Bangladesh fielding 17 spinners possibly play a part in Shakib's decision?

If he's done it out of funk it's even more unforgiveable.
Anyway, credit to Sehwag and Kolhi. The latter has a huge future ahead of him. If he's not a better batsman than Raina I'm a Dutchman.

Haha Sehwag was challenging Kohli to hit sixes cause he was and Kohli wasn't.
Sehwag...WAG.
Sehwag...WAG.

World's geatest nitpick
I think the 36 boundaries in the first 47 kind of makes up for it.

Yes I'm sure that was a major factor in his decision, but I honestly think they'd have gained a much bigger advantage by batting first and reaching a healthy total, not impossible on this pitch, and try and put some pressure on India. The last you want to do is hand the initiative straight to the opposition and allow them to demonstrate their strength, which is the batting, in comfortable batting conditions. OK it didn't come onto the bat as nice as they'd want, but there is no movement out there at all, a huge total was only what was expected. Poor decision by Shakib for me, easy to say after India have whacked it around for 50 overs, but at the time it didn't seem too sensible.
