The Fab Four From India No Good.
by manoj bhatia on Dec 29, 2008 01:06 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Its interesting to know that the Fab Four , Tendulkar, Ganguly , Laxman & Dravid have played together for almost a decade and have not been able to win one world cup for India in One Day Internationals. Tendulkar, Lara , Ponting , Gibbs, D'silva, Inzamam have been the most feared batsmen in the world. Only Inzamam, Ponting and D'silva could do it. The next world cup India has new Fab Four. Sehwag, Gambhir, Yuvraj and Dhoni . We have had a best bastmen in the world with the highest number of centuries, test runs , odi runs but the batsmen could not help India win a world cup. I know a lot of people would not agree with me but what good is it to have the best batsmen in the world for 18 years and no world cup. We did better when the original fab four were not present in the T20 world cup. Even the wall cracks during world cup.

I can't believe that you couldn't see that Sachin scored maximum number of runs in 2 World Cups (1996,2003)where as Ponting Inzamam played well in very few matches.Dravid was the top scoreer in 1999 World Cup.So we had people who scored the most in 3 world cups. Still their 'teams' won and not India. In the world cup that india won, nobody scored even half the runs that Sachin did. Still they won.
Conclusions:
1. A cricket team does not comprise of 1 player. So it is not possible for a single player to win even a single match, let alone the world cup.
2. Sometimes great players get stuck with fuckall teams and people like you get a chance to comment upon them. That's plain bad luck

It is amazing that your argument can be so stupid.
In the same line up, just look at the bowlers that Ponting. Inzmaan and De Silva had.
If you think you don't need bowlers to win games, you might as well go and watch gilli danda instead of displaying your lack of basic cricket knowledge in this blog.
Hope your brain starts thinking straight.
