A few days back, I wrote the following _________________________________________ Congrats STEYN! you gave us the reality check! India, We have been talking about so called aggression, esp Sreesanth, Dhoni, Bhajji, et al. but I think Steyn showed us what real aggression is - ON THE FILED and WITH THE BALL - Bina tael laga ke marna - Kudos to this kid for bringing reality into the Indian dressing room.. It's sad that Wasim Jaffer [dude, you better cough some runs] and Viru [they are getting onto yoru basics - different pitch so better PLAN], Drvid's wall squeaked and Laxman [just coudln't belive]..didn't expect much from our Dada [fear of genuine pace] and Dhoni [oh! well....], and Irfan [shame on Indian batting to depend on a bowler who scored the highest....] and guess our second highest was EXTRAS......
NOW in the second Innings, SOS different innings!!! ________________________________________________ Jaffer - this guy NEEDS runs - there was a time he used to scored double hundreds!! OR he has to be dropped!!!
Viru - this guy batted he has to go to bathroom and take care of business there...can't use his brains BUT again brawn!!
Dravid - Got your 10,000 now go home and retire
SOURAV - finally some classy strokes bad luck, looks like learnt from his first innings, GLAD to see Dada playing and DHONI watching on the opposite end!!
LAXMAN - VERY VERY SPECIAL [need to say more] ...of course you can't expect much from DHONI and of course bowlers!!!

yes. msd needs to b sacked at the first. he has been a total failure against the genuine bowlers n on lively pitches. v dont need hero players of dead pitches. he is just a hype n nothing else. bcci needs him only to attract fans due to his face. but v dont need face but performance.

He is a very handy ODI batsman. But I'll be honest, he needs to improve his Test average from 32/33 to at least 40.

enough of this dhooni. has been a burden in test matches. how much failures does he need to b kicked out. it seems that bcci doesnt think there r any better players in ind than this hopeless dhooni.

BCCI is really impressed with his captaincy, and want to turn him into a good Test player as well. Plus, MSD is currently the 2nd most popular youth icon after Tendulkar.
All congratulations to South Africa for splendid performance on Indian Soil. This is well deserved defeat for India . 20-20 champions will never forget this defeat in their lifetime.

India has faced so many defeats in the past like this, so this is not first time and nothing special about it. just one more defeat in our own soil
Anil Kumble is the Most Dedicated Cricketer India Has Produced, Any Other Captain WHose Team Lost By Such a Big Margin Would Have Made Silly and Stupid Excuses to Cover Up the Loss in a Test Match.????????????????
Anil Kumble Being this Resilient, Agressive and Dedicated Captain Said that Indian team Will Bounce Back in Kanpur.But Looking at the History of Kanpur Wicket It Looks Like a Batting Wicket, So we can Expect a Bore Draw in the Third Test Match????????????????????

but still his bowling,captaincy has raised question mark.he just got 1 wicket in match,and how can he allow SA to get around 500 runs on sporting wicket especially,after SA were 110/4.he has let the game zip away,many times.against PAK in kolkata and bangalore after batting very well in 1st innings,PAK were 150/5 in kolkata still managed to score above 500 runs in both the matches.same were repeated in sydney,adelaide against AUS after india were in position to dictate the terms

The Wicket Was a Sporting Wicket, Note: By Sporting It Means It Was Good For Pace Bowling, Kumble is Not a Classical Spinner Either, He Thrives On Accuracy and UnEvenNess of the Wicket.
Can U Blame him of Under Performing, No, Bcoz He Gives His 100 % EveryTime He Goes on the Field, It's Just that The Three Bowler's SreeSanth, Irfan Pathan and RP Singh, Bowled Badly.?????????????????

sporting wicket does not mean,helpful to pace bowlers only it could be helpful to spin bowlers also.Rgdng kumble, he is the captain of the team.so it's obvious he gets best out of his team.just like dhoni did with inexperienced guys in AUS.and this wicket did help spinners like him where there was inconsistent bounce,turn on the wicket.just watch the game,then u will see how devillers and kallis played at ease!!!!!!!!
India is a racist county where persons have no respect for other's origin. The day is not far when Gangulies, Dravids, Tendulkars will be leading their national teams agist each other. Thanks to our leaders ( why to name Raj Thakre alone, others are also there)
Comments on Rediff will definitely prove India as one of most racist country in world
