I have mentioned this at different places and times that I also thought he had a good head on his shoulders and I felt that he could have captained India some day. Who knows if times would have been different, India would have entered this tournament under Kaif :)<br /><br />But I digress.<br /><br />I think the best place for Raina is in the first half of the line up. But with Yusuf not doing well..I don't know who can replace him. Some allrounder? Is there someone in the picture? If not, then you win..Raina in place of Yusuf :)<br /><br />btw, i've imported all posts and comments on my new site...please leave comments there instead..this blog will be shutting down soon :)Meghahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192011739394095016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033470319798883235.post-50069737430972469122009-09-26T15:40:50.520+01:002009-09-26T15:40:50.520+01:00I was talking about putting Raina in place of Path...I was talking about putting Raina in place of Pathan in the line-up that you listed. Raina's much more promising than Kaif, IMO, and bound to succeed. He doesn't have to always bat down the order; Dhoni likes to switch it up depending on the situation and so should be the case. Raina can come in at no. 4 if the top 3 have given us a good start.Pratiknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033470319798883235.post-15553783825952864152009-09-20T21:24:24.758+01:002009-09-20T21:24:24.758+01:00Pratik

How I wish someone could know when to click you - whenever you are about to know of RD's selection in the team - you cud easily become the brand ambassador of genuine happiness n sheer elation! <br /><br />I too believe it's the right move, especially considering the fact that our CT team won't have Sehwag for starters..so we do need a solid top order fulcrum. <br /><br />Another known secret is that our youngsters have come a cropper against the short stuff that almost every team will be strutting against us and we know with RD around, one end is surely safe. <br /><br />The only thing is that the youngsters should take it in the right spirit - it shouldn't serve as a demotivator to players like Badri, Raina, Rohit, Pujara, Kohli, etc. - they need to be patient and assimilate the nuances as much as they can, before claiming their place under the sun.<br /><br />PS: I hope RD plays well enough for you to write another post titled "A Dream Comeback" :-)Shaileshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397648448246358099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033470319798883235.post-83498446535174044922009-08-22T07:10:30.288+01:002009-08-22T07:10:30.288+01:00Aha!
