All we need is a slow pitch

to make it into the last 4. Actually this should have been the finals. Unfortunately we are facing Australia in very much advance. Still i don't forget the 2003 humiliation. Now, this should be our turn. Win the toss (bit difficult for dhoni), bat first, and put 270+ score on board. Chasing this much score on a slow pitch is near to mission impossible. Handle Johnson and Lee with care, and try to make 90-100 runs from their 20 overs. Don't be scared of Tait. He bowls fast but leaks so many runs.

                                                                          Dhoni should think about sreesanth's inclusion in the final XI. Zaheer should not bowl more than 4 overs in his first spell, and should come back when the ball gets old. Zaheer, Aswin, and Sreesanth should be bowling the first 15 overs, and try to get rid of watson and haddin, and will get out-of-form ponting as a free gift (take 2 wickets and get 1 wicket free). Then Bhajji and Yuvi will take care of the middle order.
