Let Sreesanth play!
by K Chandru on Oct 13, 2007 01:13 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Bring back Sreesanth! Ausies get tensed up even if he conducts himself and sports a smile!



What's the use of so called `sound' technique, if it is not yielding any results? Don't you think 44 runs from 5 consecutive matches means, Dravid is struggling? Give him a break! Break will do him a lot good. The rotation policy does two good things by itself. It avoids early burnup due to playing excessive cricket and gives fair chances to those waiting for their turns. Afterall, Team India cap is nobody's birth right. You need to have it in you and perform to don India colours. It's not bestowed to someone based on past laurels! There's no room for emotions and sentiments here. Dravid has become a burden, a liability to the team now. Should we give chance for another five matches for him to strike form?

My Team will be :

1. Saurav / Sehwag
2. Sachin
3. Uthappa
4. Yuvaraj
5. Badrinath
6. Dhoni
7. Irfan Pathan
8. Murali Karthik
9. Harbhajan
10. R.P. Singh
11. Sreesanth (Ausies get tensed at the very sight of him and commit mistakes)
12. Dinesh Karthik

Dravid Overall strike rate is nice 82.36
Sachin Overall strike rate is handsome 85.24

What a great wisdom by Ganguly to increase averages at poor strike rate very very slowly, as per ODI dtandards

Here is detailed scores of Ganguly very very great Ganguly against minnows and masala matches

66 v BD at Port of Spain
89 v Ber at Port of Spain
32 v Afr masala match at Bangalore
88 v Afr masala match at Chennai
73* v Ire at Belfast
Just great Dada is greatest king against minnows ......
