RE:Congrats, by on Sep 25, 2007 12:56 AM  Permalink Indians are good in batting as well as bowling for 4-5 overs. They cannot bat or bowl well beyond that.Their true color comes out only after 4-5 overs. So this game is good for Indian cricket. Full credits to good fielding, though....Thanks to Sachin and older than 29 folks for not playing. They have done a service to India, that way!    Forward   |   Report abuse

How many players have played in one day and survived the game so far. We'll find out if younger generation can survive in a longer ver of game as well. Our oldies Sachin, Ganguly and Dravid have done well for years and you can't discount there contribution just beacuse they were not part of 20-20. Not to forget that these players made significant contribution to win test series in recently concluded england series.    Forward   |   Report abuse
