I am penning this during the innings break of the last league game of WC2011. India have been bowled out once more within fifty overs and its beginning to feel a bit embarrassing now.
Its likely that the Indian bowling will defend a score of 268 but whatever the result, Sreesanth must be brought back for the knockout games if India are to prosper. Dhoni seems oblivious of the presence of Sreesanth in the squad but its time for him to overlook Sree's antics and realise that he is the only seamer other than Zaheer who is capable to taking wickets.
Its likely that any second seamer chosen, will go at six or more an over but amongst Nehra, Munaf and Sree, Sreesanth is the only one who seems to pose a wicket taking threat to the opposition.
If India are to go far in this competition playing only four bowlers, Dhoni would rather have four wicket taking bowlers that one dibbly dobbly medium pacer like Munaf or a woefully out of form Nehra.
May India win!!

Although I agree with you in a broad sense, the fact that the QF will be played at Motera will rule out Sreesanth. The venue will only reinforce the belief that India has to outbat Australia. The twist may very well be Chawla's performance against the Aussies in the warm - up game.
