Two up, two to go

So, India have pulled away to an unbeatable 2-0 lead over the West Indies. Two games left and according to this report, Yuvraj Singh, Pathan and Kumble come into the squad and replace Joginer Sharma and RP Singh. Interestingly Sehwag has not been selected inspite of a fine performance in the only Ranji trophy game he played. The youngsters Raina and Uthappa look certain to play the Chennai ODI and with Dinesh Karthik on the verge of cementing his place in the ODI team, Raina needs to put up a stellar performance with the bat if he intends to challenge Karthik. With Pathan, I feel the team should play him as a pure bowler and go into the game with 6 batsmen, Dhoni and 4 bowlers. Pathan's batting contributions weren't really in doubt; the real issue was his bowling performance had dipped alarmingly and that is what the team needs to really test.
