As always, I am not supposed to ask why Ranadeb Bose is not in, so I wont... With the new improved board... we are allowed to discuss only those topics that the powers that be themselves screen and allow for discussion...

the more things change, the more they remain the same... so said some worthy... who am i to differ...

Why not?

Isnt the screening part the thing that makes the PTB the PTB ?

To me the only surprise is that for the 1st two games we have 15 players. IMHO RPSingh, will not play a single game, he is just cover for any injury. I am also surprised Raina made it ahead of DM and MK. I wud have given these a few chances ahead of the WC. Raina ... I think its too early for him

Sure you can ask.  This guy, Biswal, from the east zone is doing a pathetic job. Even with Bose's numbers. he can not put him into the list of 30 probables.  Bose needs to start thinking about moving to one of those non-state teams with powerful backers like Vidarbha or Sourashtra to get recognized for his stellar figures. Being even half good will be good enough then.........

of the 3, pawar is definitely the best odi bet we have, he gives more flight to the ball, he is fighter, and aggressive, and currently much better than HS in ODIs plus he can bat better than the other two.

Well Bhajji bowled much better than Power in WI in ODIs. Also Bhajji in general has been very very consistent this year before SA series. And he is also using his long handle much better these days. I dont see Power being picked ahead of him for WC.
But picking him in absence of Kumble is the right decision. He is our third spinner and has done reasonable well.
