It is a fact that absence of Hayden in Perth test was one of the reasons that favoured India. By giving this interview, Hayden seems to be over confident about his team... Come on India target Hayden and get rid him early...

Mr Aiyo, Aiyayo. It is because three umpires did not play with Australia in Perth Test. First try to understand that.

True. If India faces defeat, it is not becuase of any aussies but becuase of BCCI selectors which did blunders.

If a team depends on one person to win the match it is not really a balanced team. I thought Aussies were a much better balanced team than India.

So too can India say that absence of Zaheer Khan affected us in Sydney. No excuses we beat them fair and square!
However, I would still rate India's 71 series win over WI in WI as the best. WI were the best team back then... many may argue perhaps the greatest team ever and we not only won a test but also won the series.

dada was good - aggressive player but as we know one day cricket has acelerated much due to 20/20 cricket and i feel that dada , dravid and laxman will never play for india in one days and regarding sachin if his one day strike rate comes down to less than 80 from current 85 then he will too follow dada in future

By the way dropping dada from the ODI series was one of the best things our selectors have done in a long long time. If a guy cannot bend nor throw for gods sake why the hell is he playing cricket let him sort out his fitness first and then think of making a comeback. Its shamefull to watch him escort the ball to the boundary..!!
the logic you are using applies both ways. had INDIANS play their best in past 15 years there will be no world champions other than Indians. they did not . so you people are so called WORLD CHAMPIONS. it is our gift for you. mind it . otherwise you were just like BANGLADESH. give thanks to BUKNOR. he made you people WORLD CHAMPIONS> go through all matches in which Mr. BUKNOR afficiated { 80% matches since 1992 }you will know the truth................!. even some people [ CRICKETERS ] showed big hart some times. when lara caught gilcricht he said it bumped. malik caught pointing he said the same. it shows you are totly ............................?

hi, I'm not a supporter of Dada or Manoj Tewari, but u cant ignore any of the players. Dont underestimate any of them.

Why do Bengalis only support Bengali cricketers and also become very militant when their fellow Bengali loses his place in the team.
Even Dravid has been dropped but no one seems to be much bothered about it. However if Ganguly is dropped it becomes a national issue.

because Bongs have been so impregnated by commie rule,they will always blame others for everything. They can only protest never do anything constructive.Typical commie mindset.

DAS BABU, fielding also is very important for one days and 20/20's, dont forget that,only young guns can fire in fielding not OLD

Hey MAMU Hussain Sachin is in team for 2 reasons: 1. Stroke Master[Unlike Ganguly he can deflect the ball better] 2. Best runner among wickets in present team[He is called the 2nd Kaif of India for running between wickets]
RE:@ Mallika
by Joginder Singh on Jan 22, 2008 06:15 PM Permalink
yeah he did score at a average of 42.5 but at a poor strike rate of some 70 runs per 100 (infact dravid is better than him). When currently all the teams are scoring 300 runs per match & chasing them easily. It becomes imperative that we require players who can score at 6 runs per over. & his slow running & fielding is not helping also... so guys .. sacrifies is required which is in the form of ganguly
