world cup 83
by ananth nipani on Mar 19, 2007 05:04 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Remember during 1983 against Zimbabwe India were reeling at 19 for 5, at Trent Bridge. Kapil's heroic 175 aided by defiant 39 by Kirmani saved the day. If these 2 had flopped India would have had to return. But where do you have such allrounders. Even after repeated failures just because the captain wants him Sewag is in the team. Match by match, Wasim Jaffer has performed much better than Sewag since the last one year. But he is dropped. Where do we go from here? Sometimes I feel cricket should be banned for 2 years, so that the hype dies down.

Well said... We have too much money in cricket and too much politics comes with it (due to money).
