how can u tell veeru as lazy? i think u like hockey and football.. ha ha ha ha
I hope other visiting teams will emulate South Africa's example and heap humiliation on this bunch of hyped jokers and the BCCI. Cricket will gradually lose popularity and genuine national games like hockey may see a glimmer of hope of revival. Cricket is a national waste; India's biggest racket in which the BCCI, its players - self-declared heroes whose character is woefully exposed when then encounter quality opposition - Bollywood, the mafia, betting syndicates, politicians, and yes, the media, all have huge stakes. Don't be fooled by the odd win in places like Australia. Genuine sporting nations like Australia are good at EVERY sport they play - cricket, hockey, football, tennis, you name it. Indians have only proven that they can milk the game commercially. 5 Test wins on Aussie soil in 60 years tell the real story, all that hoopla about the Perth win and the 'historic' tri-series victory notwithstanding. By the way, how come each of India's wins is immediately eulogised as 'historic?' That's because there're so few of them in the first place! Truth be told, these so-called cricketing stars and superstars are little else than media-created 'heroes', each with his faithful band of hosanna-singers in the papers and idiot-box. Lack of ability to play genuine fast bowling on even a marginally sporting pitch has been the bane since 1932. No nation aspiring for a place in the global pecking order can afford this colossal waste of time, money and manhours. Jaganniwas Iyer

U r correct. We play against good team and boast we are the best. Meanwhile our so called experts heap praise on these inconsistent fellows.And immediately against weak and not best teams we lose. Beating Aussies one or two tests cannot be rated as we are the best. Infact we win in a fluke as we don't have anything to lose against them. but with other teams our consistent weaknesses come out.

Seriously...India's win is termed historic only because 'India stopped Australia's record successive 17th win. Strange ! we boast of 1 win of ours against 16 consecutive win of others..India lost today because after the first tests hammering of SA ,our players might have got a call from Preity Zintas,Bipasha's,Katrina's and may be they all pub'd together in Bombay..hehe

well put! couldn't have said it any better. Like they said - hand them a featherbed and they score triple hundreds at will; give them an even wicket and they crumble like the losers they are.

Thanks..guys are listening and started using their bare intelligence to see through the fact sabout the fultility and waste of supporitng a game which to our shame can claim the most economically wasteful past time we ever had (except BCCI, Pepsi Coke and criketers). Fans have lost everuthing even their honour supporting a few good men (I admire you sachin's dravid's, kumble's) orchestratred by puppets and other dirty men in power and behind the scences..Stop this nonsense and make a collective effort to make cricket at best a fringe sport in India. I am one of the new generation and for me 2003 season was the end of support for this game..

Australian one day series was fixed as was T20 world championship. Aus series was fixed cos BCCI has big stakes in PCL, and T20 was fixed cos ICC knows highest viewerships (read as fools) is in India as hence the revenue. It was a bitter pill required after BCCI team go thrashed in world cup

Ha! So India were going to win the world! India bring back the honour from Australia! India are the topmost team! Ha! India are just as the whole country is at the moment - hot air, self opinionated, self back slapping and just a bunch of fools - Manmohan Singh congratulates Shiela Dixit and says that she has made Delhi the cleanest and greenest city in the country. Well, by comparison maybe yes - when the rest of the country is filthier, smellier, more disorderly, badtameez and a whole lot of crooks. And the Indian team are the same - a whole lot of fools who are making vast fortunes from mediocre cricket. May they fry in Hell - India has no honour to loose!
The best thing to do is do not care any thing about the INdian cricket. For the most loyal fans Indian cricket has given them only heartbreaks all the while proclaiming their greatness (not to forget the pulluitng airwaves with cricket ads games or anything). We cant escape from the humiliation that not even a single year we could win 60 % of matches that we played. This shows Indian cricket team is as mediocre as it can get (pakistan is doing way better). So instead of supporting Indian team and lose heart and ruin your day seeing the lions capitulate against any opposition, stop the support of cricket and embrace other manly sports (F1, Football, Boxing etc) where apart from clubs we dont have to lose much. We can start with a fresh slate and (all millionaires out there) can nurutre and support some other game in which we can be world class. (Chess is one of them, tennis is another say in 10 years). Cricket is dead, let the other sports get their due. I am not a pessimistic soul, I loved cricket and sure cricket team will resurrect in some years, but with more than 15 years of following this game I havent seen the world beating Indian team which stands out in their game..Logically that will be the case even 20 years hence.
what happened to the"wall" dravid?. why did he underperform in both the innings? he should be kicked out of the team. Dada 3 cheers to you for fighting back
The result only shows that India's victory few and far between are flukes. We are known for mediocre display. One swallow does not make a summer. Cricket fanatics feel that we are No. 1. I hope they have woken up to the reality. SA without Pollock, Nel, LAngeveldt and Boje are still a force to reckon with.
'Humiliated' would be the ultimate understatement. And why keep blaming Dada - aren't there eleven players on the team? Accept the fact that the boys in team blue are bunch of big-mouthed, undisciplined, inconsistent losers - they beat their chests and preen when they win against minnows, but when up against real players like SA and Australia they crumble like dust.

I fully endorse your views..India only stopped the Australia's record winning spree. There is nothing to boast about it.If India was on their record 17th successive wins then there is room for party but stopping the Australians from that is nothing to boast about.Look at the way the Australians hammer us right from the ball 'go'. Our team members are busy posing with Preity Zintas,Bipashas whatsover

pathan's priority is bowling,not batting.even if he would have batted okay but bowled brilliantly with venum then the job could have been done fairly.he is just like shaun pollock,a bowler who can bat.
