Pawar is politician. He is more worried about money BCCI will lose if tour is canceled. If he has any pride of being an Indian, any respect for mother India then he should fight for pride of India. He should at least once in his life do something which will make hold its dignity and pride. If he fails to stand behind every Indian this time then he is not even worth being called Indian and he should not be representing India. Mr. Pawar, my humble request to yo, please be patriotic just one time and hold the pride and dignity of Indian people and show to the world that we cannot be taken for granted and humiliated. If you cannot then no TRUE Indians will ever forgive you.

Hello! It is most unfortunate that we have politicians heading the sports organizations where they tend to show political prowess. How can you expect Pawar, a politician to be patriotic. No congress man can be patriotic. If they are patriotic they don't hold big offices. Politicians having moral values, those days are gone. He had already succumbed to the pressure and everyone knows that he is a liar. We have to blame ourselves th have these politicians in the high offices and also we have to blame the media. For the sake of the country at least the players must show their grit.

Any person who has sold his conscience to a foreign born individual and sacrificed national interests for the sake of personal ambition cannot understand what is national pride. How can he take a tough stand that is imperative in dealing with ICC and the arrogant aussies?

did anyone ask to attach national pride with these cricket players?
Dhoni, feel taht he has won india the 20-20. what was his contribution. he do not know eher the bowl is going or swinging. he lacks the technical ability and this is for everyone to see. Parthiv is lefty, a beter keeper than dhoni and more technicaly correct. Dhoni shud be taken only in one dayers.

Let Pruthiv drink milk from feeding bottle. Diesh Karthick would make a best wicket keeper batsman. Let the north Indians understand realities.

you are a good joker. did you just say to drop dhoni and bring back parthiv bcos u think parthiv is a better player? wake up dude...if parthiv patel had faced lee or johnson he would have pee'ed in his nappies.
why shud kumble bow down and cool off against the cheaters. ponting clark, symonda al are true cheaters and shud be ashamed of themselves. even after comminting crime , they are boasting of their integrity. There is no point in cooling off Mr Kumble- have some dignity and self respect.
We wil show the cheaters their true color when they land in India
send Navjot Singh sidhu and krishnamachari Srikant from India for the cool off and telecast it on TV live from Perth. Australia should have Ponting and Symonds. what fun!
yea,,afetr India was thrashed in the first test by 350 odd runs and was humiliated in the second test , Kumble got a great opportunity to diplomatically shift the focus away from the team%uFFFDs pathetic defeats on umpiring issues, aussie behaviour and racial agenda of Bhajji. He should have come back home, now he is doing a great mistake by staying back which will humiliate our team when we lose 4-0 and also the one day series.. Agreed that India were affected by worst umpiring decisions but still i feel that we were in the driver%uFFFDs seat at the end of the third day on a spinning, wearing track with two spinners but Kumble and Bhajji were totally ineffective against a magnificient Hayden and also a part time spinner Clarke takes 3 wickets in 5 ballls to humiliate us.. So we have no excuses for two heavy defeats.. Kumble had a great chance to save his face but he has lost it

no one expected india todo wonders at austrlaia. Whjat can Kumble do all alone when two good young players like yuvi and dhoni just dont take game seriously and assured of their place in team. He himself showed the application on final day. Why cannt the batting maestro and players like Dravid, sourav stand firmly and guide team to victory. After all this was aussies most inexp. attack of last 15 years. wickets of clark was a tukka, the main spinner hoigg did not bag a single wicket in 2nd inning

Selectors are are scared of the senior batsmen club. It is all in the team, the selection was improper. The second test team was little better, but we could have a better order selection had they given chance to Rohit or Raina in the previous 3 series. They kept in trying Kathik, Yuvi, Utthapa. Atleast with pace, they gave chance to VRV and Pankaj in 3 day match. As said earlier, Selectors are are scared of the senior batsmen club.
The series would have been in an exciting state if umpires had done their job smartly. Now Australians with a level of confidence to break the record and conditions favouring them would never be a great thing to watch as far an Indian fan is concerned. But lets wait and watch and also hope the team India has something to show up in the field as well amidst the controversies. Chak De India !
in place of kumble,make immediate change of captaincy to sourav and send him to speak with ponting.then see the result.he is the perfect person in the team for the deal of eye for eye

for ur information,i am not from bengali and not ganguly's fan.i have also read what he said.he never told like to put india down the austalia.he just spoke about their eagerness to win.in the same time he told there should be a way how we r getting that win.ok???
China's population is almost the same as ours...so why should be fearful of it ??? even they are not as technologically advanced as it is projected by our cowardly media.
incase of war with china, i m sure US would help us fight them by giving us all the required weapons. But the problem is the lack of officers in our army. i think the chinese are expoloiting this and are testing our resolve through their incursions in arunachal pradesh.
I believe it is time now we increase the size our army by making it compulsory for young to join it.
We can follow the israel's model where everyone has to serve atleast 2-3 yrs in the military. that explains the stunning victories it has achieved in it glorious past.
These incursions might just be a precusor to a full-blown war to conquear our north-east. It might be possible that pakistan steps in to put pressure on us in the west. We have to be well-prepared for all eventualities..these chinese and pakis are definitely up to something drastic...i can just smell it.

i think your knowldge is emotion based and full of dreams like indian cricket team. China is 10 time more advanced than us. You need to visit there and then assess .
These guys are very laborous and have matched the Europe standards in mmost of the infrastructural aspects. Even their village is better than our New Delhi

I did believe you and googled chinese incursions. It doesnt worry me a least bit as the search query "LTTE" and Al Qaeda gives worse results. Right now, Ponting, clarke and symmonds are of more concern to Indians.
