@ Disha:- Hmmm… I wasn’t aware of that thing, with Goswami.. So i think in next two or three years, I should nominate mahself to be the Wk/Batsmen For RC,(FUTURE CHALLENGERS)... as What I used to be In mah school and college cricket teams…

@ Poshin : As i said i prefer going with two spinners and i dont want Morgan to sit out at any cost.. And is White available this time..??

This will be Morgan’s first time in India right? 

It will take a couple of matches before he gets used to it…..

This is not Morgan’s 1st time in India. He has played in India before also..

I think this can be a good team to look out this season, boucher era is gone, its better to utilize of other foreign players.

1. Manish Pandey
2. Kallis
3. Virat Kohli
4. Ross Taylor
5. Rahul Dravid
6. S. Goswami
7. Kevin Pieterson
8. Abhimanyu Mithun
9. Anil Kumble
10. Dale Steyn
11. Praveen Kumar
12. Vinay Kumar

R.Uthappa
K.Pieterson/ Rossow [ Based on Availability]
R.Dravid
R.Taylor/C.White [ Based on Availability]
V.Kohli
E.Morgan (W.K) ( should not forget E.Morgan is Part time W.K)
V.der merwe
P.kumar
A.Mithun
V.Kumar
A.kumble

12th man: Manish Pandey

Kallis is no better bowler than V.Kumar on Indian Pitches, His batting was effective
in S.A due to conditions,Indian conditions he is not required. We saw how effective he was in 1st season!!!

Rossow is a monster hitter, best suited in the flat Indian Pithches.

WHITE FOR THE FIRST HALF SEASON, TILL TAYLOR RETURNS.
White as matured a lot a a player from the first season.

E.Morgan is a must in the playing 11 because of his consistancy and innovative shot making. And he can fill the keeping shoes as well

V.der merwe
P.kumar
A.Mithun
V.Kumar

All the above can swing the bat around , they are no mugs with the bat.
===========================================================
Men to look out for this season:
K.Pieterson will prove why he was the costliest Player
R.Uthappa will justify his swap with Z.Khan was not mistake { we miss ZK though }
E.Morgan
Rossow {given a chance}
and as always ROSS THE BOSS
============================================================

@ Nish : Manish being 12th man in ur 12 is something SHOCKING…!!! Jus unacceptable…!!

@VijayMallyaBoys   I understand… but we have to look for the balance in the side… team comes ahead of an individual…
he will be the first choice for replacement if any of the above batsmen fail to perform… we cant fill the team with batsmen…
it was choice between Uthappa and manish… i thought Uthappa would be more suited for our conditions. Anyways it
my opinion… i accept u ll have ur own ideas as well….

my fev team from which we select players as per playing conditions:

Rahul Dravid,
Virat Kohli,
Kevin Pietersen,
Anil Kumble,
Jacques Kallis,
Mark Boucher,
Praveen Kumar,
Ross Taylor,
Robin Uthappa,
Cameron White,
Dale Steyn,
Jesse Ryder,
Sridhar Sriram

1.Morgan
2.Gowswami(considering his current form)
3.Kallis
4.Taylor
5.Rahul Dravid
6.White/KP/Merwe
7.Manish Pandey
8.Virat Kohli
9.Praveen kumar
10.Vinay Kumar
11.Kumble

all the mentioned players are in top form…......
