Ask yourself honestly, which of the following players will you choose in your Dream World-XI:
1) Dinesh Mongia
2) Mohammad Kaif
3) Suresh Raina
4) Munaf Patel
5) Irfan Pathan
Now, think of 5 players from the Australian cricket team who dont have the ability to make it to any team in the world. Are our resources so limited that we have to be put up with a team which dosnt seem to care about playing with pride. Cpuple of boundaries, and you can actually see shoulders sagging all around. Fighting spirit - ZILCH.
A talented young player like Suresh Raina playing out maiden overs in the final 10; when Dhoni is waiting on the other end and Irfan is waiting in the dressing room; and aussies cannt wait to bat on the best pitch in the tournament so far. Definitly something wrong with the planning or the mentle make-up.
I am not watching another match involving India till it beats Australia atleast once. Or, wins atleast ONE match against SA in SA in November. Beating trundlers like England in an ODI isnt my idea of sport.
And can the real Tendulkar please step up? I hate telling my friends again and again that you are the world's best, without any recent proof.
