Robin impressive in Chennai ODI loss

Robin Uthappa, more or less is now a certainity for the first choice opener spot in the world cup, after this audacious innings he played in the 3rd ODI against WI. He went bang bang with an incredible array of strokes, played mainly from the front foot and in sheer desperation Lara threw in Gayle in the 11th over. I wish Robin would have somehow waited for one more over before taking on Gayle. That airy fairy lofted shot meant the others have to pick up but with so many question marks in Indian batting, they fell by the way side, even though 268 is not a bad score. Considering where they were after 10 overs and after the Sachin/Dravid stand, Yuvi failed to deliver and so did Karthik. Raina did not impress either and the tail came and went. I was not impressed by Sachin's boring 50 (even though , Vengsarkar keeps pointing out how great he is in every available sound bite) and the larger question of his overall confidence and fluency remains as such.
When WI batted, it was quite clear that Sreesanth need not be trusted in the ODI game (at least not yet, since he has been giving away - not one but 2 boundary balls almost every over, he bowls). Samuels and Lara batted well enough and although there was some artificial excitement at the end (which led many a paper to write - Thrilling win etc), it was a tame finish by India on a wicket, where they should have scored 375+, after being 95/1 from 10 overs.
