So the players that hold the world cup in 20/20 are not exactly a "bunch of chokers"- chokers refers to people who fail on the big occaision- Like the Aussies in the 20/20 world cup- they did not even make the finals- so good riddance to the real chokers. Though some chokers remain- the paki's who threw a hard fought win away thanks to Miss Bah !
why kumble dravid likes got themselves into IPL when they know they are underperformer and too slow? kumble is going for money with nothing to offer...so Kumble should write more about that...how to handle fame and money when you are worth nothing.
can you compare on field attitudes of Dravid and Shane warne?

whatever the format may be both of them can suceed. In any format of the game without talent and the experience you cannot perform Who else have better experience than Dravid, Kumble, Sachin. They will deffinitely perform well in 20-20 also. Just wait and watch. Same people who have discarded Dravid in the begining later on Praised him, for playing so well in Onday Format. Just Go back to 1999-2003. And check the statistics of Dravid. Dravid is far Better than Warne on field and offield

You are a first class idiot. If some body earns money why you should bother. They have a value seen by Mr. Mallya who is a very good businessman & is not a fool o do so. After all matches are conducted by IPL to earn money for themselves not for any other cause & whoever can draw crowd are contracted. Why you want to compare warne & Dravid

There is nothing wrong in earning money. But one should know to how to handle success and money. Its a matter of one match that Dravid & Kumble will perform, and you will eat your words.

When IPL RC team owner is confident about Dravid & Kumble like SRK is confident about Gangu and Ambani is confident about Sachin what is the problem for you guy?If you have big money , own one IPL team and search for the local team members and you will know it all!You can not for the city team without including city guys!
I entirely agree with Kumble's assessment that some of these young cricketers have come up too easily and fast and are not able to handle the wealth and fame that they get from the game. It needs a maturity and some psychological assistance. Tendulkar and Kumble himself are two good examples who have taken their fame and wealth correctly. I am afraid even some other senior cricketers need counselling as they do not accept being dropped in the interest of future players being inducted into the international arena. NO INDIAN cricketer has retired from the game gracefully unless he is dropped!! Perhaps Venkatesh Prasad and Srinath are good examples of cricketers who took up other roles in the game. The IPL matches have shown some young blood who can be coached and brought into the game for the future, though I think the money element has taken the gentleman's spirit out of th game.
I totally agree with Kumble's openion.Being professional himself in cricket coupled with his engineering knowledge and above all having watched so many episodes of stressful controversaries of his colleages ,Kumble has opined the right solutions for the young cricketers who suddently shot to fame and wealth and knowing how to handle it!

Do Bajji/Sreesanth need anything else ???? absolutely correct Mr. Kumble. I guess these so called young guns of TEAM INDIA should lean from Sachin, Kumble Dravid. How to handle pressure/fame/money. There is no better lesson for Bajji/Sreesanth than observing their fellow teammates ! Somebody from BCCI should tell them what is the difference between these words "FAMOUS-InFAMOUS". Best way is to ask these two players to sit at home for an year.
Bhajji sacrificed his career for the sake of Mumbai team and no body from Mumbai, not even sachin came to his rescue. It would be better if Bhajji joins Dada'team Kolkatta. Dada likes Bhajji and Bhajji will play in a relaxed mood for Dada. Ganguly would hv certainly stood by Bhajji had he been playing for Kolkatta.

Records show that except for a few odd good performances, Bhajji is an ordinary bowler except on turning tracks where any spinner can be a dada! He is more of a liability than an asset!

Giving a slap to his opponent is for the sake of Mumbai? Try to use your commonsense before writing Mr.JV. What is all about? If he played a good cricket and made Mumbai win it is called for the sake of Mumbai he played and won but this is a completely different scenario attacking someone to show is anger is a shameful act.Dont try to justify his act.

you are right. sharad pawar usually listen sachin tendulkar but he is not at all interested in saving bhajji , upon that they suspended umpire amish saheba for taking bhajji side for 2 match. now why tendulkar is silent?????? if tendulkar want bhajji can be ban for at most 3 to 4 match but master blaster(selfish) is silent

It seems Harbos slap has aggravated Sachins injury was it tennis elbow to sachin & tennis brain to Harbo

once again you are expressing your intelligence (or lack of it). One former Australian Test umpire Lou Rowan on Wednesday has gone to the extent of calling Harbhajan Singh a menace on the field and is asking for life ban for the slapping incident. We should not go that far but what he got (ban plus fine) is sufficient and will teach him a lesson. Everybody wants Bhajji back in the team but without his antics. He should behave properly as a true sportsman.

because they r circumcised. Had Bhajji been a muslim, no body would hv dared to take any action against him.

This was purely a discussion on Cricket, do we really need people questioning other peoples religion and language. Where are we heading with all these. The moment we step out from our homes, we cease to exist as hindus,muslims and sikhs or marathis, Gujus or Punjabis. We are just indians and every other fellow on the street is as much a Indian as we are. So please stop asking the integrity of people.
