FOR YOU 'THE MOCK IAN CHAPPEL'
Original Ian Chappel (the great cricketer from Australia, not this nickname-holder) once remarked "I think, in cricket, there is no need for a coach. That's why I don't look for a job as a coach."
From tis, readers might understand how much importance they should give on the remarks of this 'MOCK IAN CHAPPEL', the writer of these articles.

Mr. Chappel. the coutinious 4 loss of Aus Team and the loosing the match with NZ by 10 wikets "is board of winning the cup?" Off course we Indians deserve to win the Cup. It is not due to Aus couch,it is joint effer of players. Couch is the part and parcel of the team.

The man of the match of the 4th ODI shuld be Yuvi and not Silva.Silva hit 107 runs off 107 deliveries,but yuvi was fast.He just took 83 deliveries for his awesome 95 with 11 fours and 3 huge sixes.

Hi !
I think Silva richly deserved the MOM award. Come on give the kid a break ! He showed true grit when all around him his more experienced team mates were floundering.

ya mate!! Silva deserve the MOM because he for a debutant it is really very tuff to hang on in the middle when his team is in dire straits!! Yuvi is a sesoned player and he also played briliantly but credit should goes to silva!!

The man of the match award for Silva was just a "PRIZE of CONSOLATION" for Sri Lanka.It was nothing but the pain killer cream only for Sri Lanka.Isn't it?
By Thilak Desingh, Good day friends, Our Indian awesome spinner Ramesh Powar should be included in 15 member squad.Although he has not taken a five wicket haul,he is good in breaking the partnerships.He also bats well sometime.He MUST be included. Bye
RE:Ramesh Powar should be added in the 15 member squad.
by Ian Chappel on Feb 18, 2007 09:34 AM
I agree with u Mate!! I think think the Indian selectors had gon mad when they selected Sehwag & Irfan. We saw what rubbish sehwag did in the last match!!! everyone was laughing!!! As far as Irfan is concern, he is a talented lad but he is out of form and injured right now!!! I think Power deserve the place in the Indian squad!!! I think he is Unlucky!!
RE:RE:Ramesh Powar should be added in the 15 member squad.
by Khem Sharma on Feb 18, 2007 10:25 AM
Always remember,
Sehwag have the match winning capability its good he have included in the WC team. I am confident he will hit in the Wc remember he has the class and that is permanent not the form that is temp. He will out of bad time which most great a players have also faced in cricket. He hve the great power to destroy the opponent.

No dear Ian at least Indian selector had gone back to the saying OLD IS GOLD. We have lots of sparks with the help of your great brother but those sparks had gone with the wind. Indian selector had shown the sign of returning back from intoxication of your great brother and started using their brain.

by Thilakh Chacko on Feb 18, 2007 06:27 PM
I agree completely with you. I hope that Anil Kumble get an injury before or during the World Cup to put him in the team. Powar was performing better with the bat and ball and took match-winning wickets. Whereas Kumble is struggling in the ODI with the ball and is not taking much wickets. Plus he can't bat.
I believe in the present scenario there is not much of a place for Tendulkar.Due accolades to him for all these years of hardwork but its time now that he lets the youngsters do their bit for indian cricket. over the past years all the stats show how poorly he has performed while chasing totals.what was a tiger like approach has mellowed down to more like a meek lamb.time and again he fails when we are chasing totals? the question is - what is he in the team for Experience, Batting or Bowling??? what should be his forte has been taken to shreds in the past couple of years and we are seeing more of bowling discussing as his prime roles. I dont really fell that it is the role for him in the playing eleven. he has to bat & that too upto his standards if he should stay in the team. one good series doesnt make him an automatic chioce for the world cup!!! i hope our team the very best of luck.

Mr. Nitin Verma
first of all you should unndershand that Sachin has given long contribution to Indian Cri., and he has won the matches. In India people are giving respect to Sachin as we give respect to national leaders. His presence in the match will make the difference.

Aare Nitin bhai Dada is playing thats good, Rahul is operating thats also good but DADA ko CHHOTA BABA ko jarur cahiye nahi to World Cup main saab band kaise bjawunga. Atleast Sachin [CHHOTA BABA] ko to choro woh hamre cricket ki anmol ratan hai. Sau saal beet jayeja CHHOTTA BABA jise cricketer pane ki liye.

hey Nitin u should thank the almighty & your parents for giving you the life in the era of the Great...Great Sachin..just stay back & chillax.
media make them zero to hero and hero to zero. for me they will always remain the same. unpredictables. i have never seen india excel on fast pitches as in SA, Aus and WI. it will be interesting to see if we can reach semis out there. teams like Eng, NZ are charged up. So we better be sure its not gonna be easy as we think.
RE:mr. unpredictables
by srinivasa on Feb 18, 2007 05:19 PM
WI pitches are not fast, they are slow, low wickets. I guess you have little cricket knowledge.
Can anybody explain the selection of Man of the Match Chamara Silva of Sri Lanka? The selection is absolutely baseless,especially whenyou have Youvaraj Singh with 95 runs in 83 balls and in winning side. The selection is a blunder who ever have made the selection.
RE:RE:Man of the Match 4th ODI against SL at Visakhapatnam
by Khem Sharma on Feb 18, 2007 09:43 AM
Hello Friend, I think selectors have given Man of the match consolidation prize for Sri Lanka Player.Youvraj have played a wonderfull inning and have taken India to match and series winning win position. If he had not clicked at right time India may had lost the match and susequently the series.People remember It has Happend in the past. Full points to YouvRaj.The way he palyed the inning and last last over.
Sri Lanks player Chamara Silva played a good inning but Yuvraj was teh deserving candidate for the man of teh match award. Doesnt matter india won the match and series. A Consolidation prize for Lankans.
With New Zealand coming up to great forms at the right time (beating Australia thuddingly recently), England rejuvenated after the One-Day series win in Australia, beating Australia in 3 consecutive matches, South Africa thumping the Pakis recently and previously India, and to top it all West Indies slashing India into pieces when India last visited West Indies less than a year an year back.....this World Cup challenge will be the toughest one faced ever!! So, I believe India need to go larger than life in spirit and skills and win the right matches at the right time.
Remember, in the 1992 World Cup, Pakistan lost badly to West Indies, India, Australia, New Zealand and drew an almost-lost match with England. Yet they somehow lifted themselves with the skills of Inzamam and leadership of Imran Khan to win the crucial matches and finally the coveted Cup.
So, Come On Team India....forget about the contract renewals, the auctions to attend, the inaugural ribbons to be cut, the flash lights of the ad modelling shoots, the "bookies" offers, the excuses of injuries, the controversies in the selection, the politics and conspiracies, the "quota" system, the naughty bum-slaps at nightclubs and parties.....and be focussed for this War of the Willows....
And please stop this GRE CHAPPELL - SAURAV GANGULY topic ....I reckon, Saurav actually revived his career and put it on the right track after slashed off the team by Greg. If we look at Ganguly's statistics of 15 MATCHES BEFORE OMMISSION and 15 MATCHES AFTER OMMISSION...then we will understand that he probably needed this slap on the wrist, for a better future of his team and himself...His fire power was gone which Greg rekindled. He started taking Team India for granted but couldn't accept the other way round.
However, at this juncture, we don't need a political roar before the team departs for World Cup...and so, fans, PLEASE SHUT UP FOREVER ON THE GREG-SAURAV TOPIC and just enjoy watching the game of the Lords..
Remember TEAM INDIA, if you have been selected to represent a trouble-struck worried population of 110 crores, then it's your automatic responsibility to care for their smiles and give 200% on the filed just for those few days of the tournament. You know, it's quite funny if you notice that when you excelled on the field, your 'Off-Field' assignment concerns have always been in good shape and size...So, Please Please Please....do not cheat us this time, and let us live with a pride of the examples Team India sets on the field after those supposedly inspiriting huddles! WE WISH YOU ALL THE BEST ....Go India!!! (Thank you for your patience to read the whole article)

Yes I was not good fab of Ganguli before. But how he was treated is bad. He shd be back as a Captain again as he deserve it very much. He have the ability to lead India again better than Rahul Dravid. Full support to Ganguli Khem California USA
RE:Kiran More and Greg Chappel need to expalin
by kawaljeet sandhu on Feb 18, 2007 05:10 AM
Sir, Good to see Ganguli making is presence felt on the crease. I am on of his fans. But I would like to say that dropping of Ganguli of indifferent form was justified. Please dont count his test century which he scored against Zimbawe at a painfully slow rate, which almost took soo much time that easy for India match would have gone draw. He should have been dropped evn pruor to that when he was playing hopelessly against Pakistan, and because of his form India lost at home to Pakistan. Yes I agree the players should not be given a extended run when they fail, but dropped immidiatly. This parameter should be for all. Even great Sachin needs to rest now and come back after finding his touch. Difference between the 2 indian Greats is very clear now, Ganguli presently wants to show what he has in him and Tendulkar wants to hide what ever he has. Time for him to do introspection. I want be surprised if he gets droppedd in few of the world cup matches.
RE:RE:Kiran More and Greg Chappel need to expalin
by S Sudarshan on Feb 18, 2007 07:16 AM
perfectly correct. Ganguly's stats tell this. he was dropped bcos of non- performance. his average in the last 1 year before being dropped, went to 19 . the manner of his dismissal in the pakistan series would make anybody hate him. just the manner he was throwing his wicket out of frustration.clearly showed he was struggling.
When Dravid was about to lose his place due to slow batting, it was Ganguly who retained him by making him the wicketkeeper. When Tendulkar complained about his failures in the middle order, Ganguly sacrified his open slot and went into the middle order, thereby losing his own form, so that the Best Batsman of the team ( Tendulkar) got the place he wanted.
He was the one who rose above regional feelings and said good bye to the quota system and picked the best ... he never tried to promote players based on Bengali Origin or the East Zone, in contrast with Azhar (all southie India team except Tendulkar and Ganguly) or Tendulkar (Majority Mumbai Team)
By the way Dravid was one of the key decision makers in Ganguly's team and he was the Batting Captain!
THE BOTTOM LINE IS ...
Yes Ganguly might have made some mistakes and one can criticize him for that ... but why blame him for the factors he deserves to be praised about?
RE:Give him his due
by aravind kumar on Feb 18, 2007 10:02 AM
At last you is the one who started thinking Ganguly is Indian first not a Bengali only. Cheerup mere Indian Bhai. Zindabad.
