I dont know ,if u can call him good baller . he was just lucky to be there . he didnt ball single good ball which would have taken batsman out for sure. He was too slow and really very wide from the off stum. It was Dhoni who made him effective used him only when wickets went down. I am really happy for u Jogindar , if u dont improve in quick time u shall fade away. Either ball some good leangth ball , yourkers , and bring some pace in u r balling. or u shall remain with u r price money u have .

Ravi Shastri being a bowler himself was always pained when it was always commented in the box that the batsman played a bad shot and got out. He says, very correctly, that "No! It is only half the truth-the other half truth is that the bowler made the batsman commit that mistake. It is only good bowlers make batsman commit silly looking mistakes and get wickets." Yes it is the good bowlers make batsman commit mistakes which appear silly on the screen.
I don't know if you correctly noticed, Joginder -nearly bowled 7-9 balls purposefully away from the batsman to deny them good scoring shots and wasn't called "Wide" by the umpire (First ball of the last over is an exception, of course!)
Secondly, it was the slowness of the ball that got him the wicket and your nation the cup. Had he bowled as fast as Bret Lee the ball would have vanished into the stands for a six instead of landing in Sreesanth's hands.
All the highest wicket takers in the cricketing world are military medium pace bowlers like Kapil Dev! Even those like Richard Hadlee, Botham, and Dennis Lillee got most of their wickets in the later part of their careers when got significantly slowed down; they got all those wickets through guile and deception which only a trained cricketing mind can see.
Hence, your observations are not too correct. Of course, I am not saying that Joginder is a great bowler on the face of earth.
As Poirot says "There is a method in this madness" likewise, there is a technique

Jogindar looked very very ordinary to be playing in any team. It was extremely lucky for him to come away without being spanked. In his defence how can some get lucky twice (semi & finals)??? My guess is that he will soon become the whipping boy for batsmen around the world unless he can find some variety and pace.

This is the fact that BCCI ignores the seniors. Now they are telling that the funtion was organised at the last moment, so it was not possible for our part to invite them. If the seniors came then they never sat on back of politician. so they intentionally ignore.

I dnt think no other Indian players might have more no. of. man of the matches & man of the series awards than S.10dulkar. by scolding the Indian Trio, our cricket fans again & again proves that they are absolutely sensational idiots. remember man of match / man of series is mostly given to 1 who lead his team to victory....

Mr.Door drishti it is clear that you dont knw anything about cricket so stop posting messages about the senior cricketers, without them the juniors would have never played the way they.. you dnt right of 0.00000001% also to talk against sachin,rahul or sourav.so just shut up..
Thanks for being such a comic story writer. Can you recollect in how many matches Sachin was named MOM & Man of the series? Don't tell me now that all are fools to give awards to Sachin.

Mr.Nilesh Kulkarni, I think, you need to excercise a balanced state of mind when you write on open forums. I could understand you are trying to vent your anger and outrage against a man who has scored over 30000 runs in both forms of game. India would not have advanced to the semi finals in the '96 and '03 world cup without him. The three big boys of Indian cricket opted out of the T20 world cup, because, 1) They needed ample rest before the forthcoming 7 ODI series against australia; 2) The board had never favoured T20 format of the game and wanted to provide chance and test a few young talents. Like you wished, we could expect Sachin to announce his retirement sooner or later. I would have appreciated had you taken on the likes of Agarkar. Your comments are pre-mature and defies logic and facts. Sundar.

Like some of you rightly said, its no joke getting picked as the best when 22 players vie for the same position, how many times have we seen Sachin receiving the man of the match award. How can you forget the contribution of someone who has dedicated some very valuable years of his life to the game? If Sachin were really selfish, would he continue to play at the expense of his health? He would've retired long ago after all those nagging injuries and setbacks. When someone plays in the international arena, what motivates him the most is the feeling that he would be remembered for his contribution towards the sport and his country. But some of our fellow countrymen are denying these great players their fair share of credit by branding them as useless and selfish. Amazing why all you critics kept quiet all these years when these people were creating all the records. Come on guys!! Encourage youngsters but at the same time, don't undermine the contribution and dedication of our senior players.

Haryana Govt has announced tax payer's Rs 21 lacs prize money for Joginder Sharma.I think he must use this money for some social cause in his state as this money has come from pockets of tax payers. He is already rich from tournament prize money plus money from BCCI and Haryana cricket board plus he is made DSP.
