Virender Sehwag is a must for remaining games and also dropping Tendulkar down the order as he is not contributing at all! He should bat at no.4! Also, no place for Parveen Kumar in next match, replace him with a batsman, Sehwag can be 5th bowler! Drop Utappa and get in Suresh Raina!
My team for next matches : Sehwag Gautam Gambhir Irfan Pathan Sachin Tendulkar Yuvraj Singh MS Dhoni Suresh Raina Manoj Tiwari Piyush Chawla Ishant Sharma Maunaf Patel
Giving the sacking to ineffective Harbhajan and junkie cricketer Rohit Sharma!

by Ravi Ranjan on Feb 19, 2008 07:34 PM
yes u r right.
TENDULKAR SHOULD GRACEFULLY QUIT THE GAME OR HE WOULD THOWN IN WILDERNESS LIKE ANY TOM DICK HERRY. GANGULY IS MUCH BETTER THAN SACHIN BUT UNDERRATED. SACHIN IS HIGHLY OVER RATED

Malinga's action is unusual for sure but in my view it is not chucking.If one notices carefully he delivers the ball from side(instead of from top as most bowlers conventionally release the ball) but the movement of the arm is clean and smooth though there appears to be a brief flick at the point of delivery.

Malinga has an uncoventional bowling action.....But to say he chucks is not true.....The law clearly states that chucking means "Bending the arm above 15 degrees" during the release of the ball.......He is not the first one....The gr8 Waqar and Jeff Thompson had similar actions....India had their very own version in One test wonder David Johnson...

Yes absolutely. His action is as wierd as his hair. Batsmen are totally lost only because of his wierd throw action. But I have always been thinking it is as per iCC rule otherwise Australians would made a big noise about it by now!!!

LOL Indians have already asked the umpires to wear white hats as they are not able to read malinga's delivery if the hat is of any different colour :)) lmao

Australians are silent in this issue, it is due to they have got many bad remarks against Muralidharan unfortunately. But I think it is not as per bowing standard.

Its a throw only, but Srilankans would not accept it, hence other nations are silent on this.

No sir, malinga's action is correct. It is an unusual slinging action. That's all.He does not bend his arm.Do not find excuses for our inability to face him.where credit is due, please give. Do not be a sob sport.
RE:Malinga is throwing.!?!??!?!
by jishith g on Feb 19, 2008 07:30 PM
No.. he has a clear action.. his arm goes above his head, and keeps straight.. nothing to be blamed in his action...
RE:Malinga is throwing.!?!??!?!
by Ravi Ranjan on Feb 19, 2008 07:30 PM
YOU ARE RIGHT. HIS ACTION IS OBVIOUSLY NOT LOOK NORMAL IN CRICKETING WAY. THANKS 2 DHONI WHO KEEP ON PLAYING GREAT INNINGS WHICH NEVER CAME FROM SO CALLED GRATES LIKE SACHIN TENDULKAR.

Tendulkar has played 3 tri-series in Australia (incl this) a world cup. He has not scored a century or played a match winning knock.

by AMIT SEN on Feb 19, 2008 07:27 PM
tendulkar is useless now ,people like you and the mumbai lobby has made him useful,his match winning contributions over the last 3 yeras is zero,it is only because of the youngsters we are winning
RE:tendulkar
by Vijith K on Feb 19, 2008 07:32 PM
Don't you recall, if tendulkar plays or doesn't play well in the game, its a Psychological boost for our team Psychological terror for the opponents. Other wise we will not be able to complete the 50over game... check the previous facts
RE:tendulkar
by Jayadev Acharya on Feb 19, 2008 07:35 PM
What boost are you talking about? India have lost almost all ODI matches in Australia (except against Zim) starting from the 1991 world cup and Tendlulkar has played in almost all of them.
India made its path to victory very difficult by loosing too many wickets & though a win is a win , they should perform better...Its hightime Suresh Raina replaces Robin Uttappa...He needs a game now....
RE:RE:not a convincing win
by pradeep pillai on Feb 19, 2008 07:41 PM
Fools, i feel pity on all of u ...watch tendulkars stats on recent serieses, since last one year ,38 matches 1551 runs , 1 century , 13 fifties.Only hayden has been taken more than this.Just check the fact b4 saying anything...still he is the backbone.

I am not sure how far Dhoni is responsible for keeping seniors out of the ODI team, but as a captain, as a batsman and as a keeper, I think he has done reasonably well. I don't think anyone is missing former captain Rahul Dravid. Dhoni has shown tremendous temperament and has finished a lot of close games.

So haven't we won?? Don't talk like a moron! MS Dhoni made an unbeaten 50 and steered India to a win, it is youngsters like Gambhir and Utappa who failed!! Learn to appreciate a good effort instead of blaming the captain all the time!
RE:sack this oversmart guy named ---dhoni
by jayanth on Feb 19, 2008 08:20 PM
Dhoni is a responsible player and a good captain. to lead the team till the end of the match. and how many times Ganguly played captain innigs to win the matches. Dhoni is much better then irresponsible players like Sehwag & Utappaha. If dhoni wan in the crease we win the last match against Australia.
