Neither Pathan nor Kohli,Its bowling to concern

After the game of South Africa vs Bangladesh Indian skipper MS Dhoni will be relaxing as with the loss of Bangladesh, India has entered to the Quarter Finals.Now Dhoni may execute some experiment with different options.India has entered into this WC as favorites but hasn't beaten any test team except Bangladesh on its way to last 8 berth.Personal performance of Sachin,Sehwag,Yuvraj,Zaheer has been excellent but India has not performed as a team .India started Its campaign from a run feast at Dhaka against Bangladesh at the opener,two hard working wins against minnows Ireland and Netherlands,thrilling tied game against England(which I even think as a defeat) and a loss from South Africa.Indian bowling is real concern apart from Zaheer.Harbhajan is struggling to take wickets and Dhoni is unable to decide who is the 2nd seamer.R Aswin is sitting on the bench and the unworthy Chawla is playing and playing.Munaf and Nehra both are experienced bowlers but both are inconsistent with their form.Sreesanth was expensive against Bangladesh and Dhoni has lost faith from him.Chawla is totally predictable and bowling every second ball googly.It will be a good occasion for Aswin to show his capabilities against West Indies.Although Yuvraj is bowling 10 overs every game,India need wicket taking bowlers to win the cup.Even England is defending scores as 171 and 243,but our bowlers want more than 338 runs from batsmans to defend.Sources said that there has been serious difference between Indian selectors and MS Dhoni about team selection.India has world's best batsmans in its squad.Starting from master blaster Sachin we have Sehwag,Gambhir,Kohli,Yuvraj,Dhoni,Raina and Pathan.After the loss against the South Africa there has been serious talks on batting.Some people want Raina to play inplace of Kohli or Pathan.Some are upset with Pathan's performance.But when we are scoring 290/330 runs why should we bother about batting.Why to blame Pathan if Yuvi and Dhoni could not accelarate the start Indian openers give?Kohli is a top order player and he should be come on to bat at no 4 as a back up for top order collapse. This will give a good base for the late order on which Yuvi, Dhoni and Pathan will accelerate the score.Now there are two choices for Dhoni,(1)Bringing back the confidence of Indian bowling or(2) Scoring and scoring more until the bowlers be able to defend it
