I don't think this indian team can do anything in this series
by Anand babu on Jul 27, 2008 08:09 PM  Permalink 

IN the first place,our squad selection is poor.Also,I don't think Kumble is a good selection for the captainship.They should have taken rohit sharma instead of rahul dravid.Why don't we give more opportunies to players like piyush chawla(whos is a good bowler as well as who can turn the ball more).Gony hasn't been used well since his IPL debut.
Anyway,its too late to discuss about the selection.But I would say that If sachin and Gambhir opens the innings with Laxman coming 1 down,then India has a better opportunity to pile up runs.Kumble is not at all getting big spins and thats a problem.He has every thing--pace,accuracy but spin.

why we call these technically good???
by Aravind sai on Jul 27, 2008 07:56 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

are these players really technically good???

Dravid?
ganguly?
Laxman?
sachin?

May be i can figure out laxman and sachin... they r fine and not as worst as ganguly and dravid.

Dravid use to play well in past....but for last 5-6 test matches he was going doe=wn with his performance....so i dont think he deserve the place in test matches....now

Gaguly... we can't imagine when he plays well and when not...

Laxman and sachin are fine......

one thing that worries is... how laxman was out in both the innings... if he gets out in this fashion...he cant survive for more that 50 runs... can he make 50 in evry innings...no obviously not....

sachin... he need to show patience.... his age is making him not maintain patience...bur he has too...

india forgot to include young faces with lots of experience in domestic level in test matches...

one player...who is been ignored for lang time from now is.... S.Badrinath

some other wh can be tried in test matches for future use are:

M.Kaif
Y.Venugopal Rao
R.sharma
S.raina( not sure abt him.... shd b given a chance)
A.chopra

finally my team would be(which will give better indian team in future too):

G.Ghambir
Y.venugopal Rao/A.chopra
Laxman
Sachin
S.badrinath
R.Sharma
M.dhoni
A.mishra(seems to be promising)/P.Chawla
A.kumble(let him be for 1 yr. and give his experience to young bowlers)
I.Sharma
Sreesanth

Build a wall
by gopalan karthikeyan on Jul 27, 2008 07:22 PM  Permalink 

As things stand our batsmen will need a wall(and i don't mean Dravid) between them and Murali&Mendis duo to stop them

Sachin The Great
by A Singh on Jul 27, 2008 07:07 PM  Permalink 

Morons are saddened by India's defeat, but intelligent ones; the Sachin supporters, are rejoicing because their Lord and Master, Sachin Tendulkar, is 39 runs closer to Brian Lara's record.

Three cheers for Sachin and his supporters.

Parthiv in place of Karthik
Pragyan ojha in place of the so called spinner bhajji
Rohit in place of Dravid
Amit mishra in place of Kumble
Zaheer should be given captaincy.
