He should switch with Federer, Sachin should play tennis and Federer should play cricket. Both are out of form in their own games.

you are an ideal candidate for congress party.......they also like arguing--- my corruption is smaller than yours-- or blame everyone but the real culprit...or attach the name of culprit with someone of great reputation.......like putting MMS and Atalji in same bracket( in your case Dhobhi)

Why India lost????
by Aryan on Aug 02, 2011 12:15 AM

Problems with Indian cricket. There are many but if i could list a few, then these r the ones.
1. Lack of good openers.
2. Inability to play bounce.
3. Player fitness
4. Lack of fast bowlers.
5. Lack of genuine all rounder.
6. Stupid captain who is not of test quality.

Hey Dhoni, don't try "Different" again
by Arv Singh on Aug 02, 2011 12:14 AM  | Hide replies

Dhoni should take responsibility for Indian teams poor show in England. He has shown poor leadership all across the board:

1. Team Selection was thoughtless. Abhinav Mukund should have never been in the team to start with. Mukund has an Anna or an Amma somewhere who was able to push this useless player on the national team.

2. Playing injured and unfit players came back to hurt the team. Team management and medics should have identified the problem with Zaheer and others.

3. Out of form players like Harbhajan, Raina, and Dhoni should have been rested for the England trip.

4. Poor bowling changes by Dhoni at the wrong time. He was also shy of using Yuvraj. Persisting with three seamers for most of the game had no logic.

5. Instead of leading the team, Dhoni was working with fat slob Vijay Mallah in making mockery of his senior player and his dead father. Very tasteless and divisive - not expected from Dhoni.

So I guess, Dhoni and Fletcher will have to go back to drawing board and figure out how to stem the rot. The same team was winning with Gary Kirsten. They need to figure out what they did "different" to cause this failure. May be Dhoni should forget about making it "different" and make it "large" next time!

Parthiv should have been in team as a second wicket keeper. And despite of his good show in WI as keeper and batsman, Shrikant brought this Wridhiman Saha. Now He created a situation where there is only one choice for opener in absence of Sehwag and that is Mukund. No matter how many times he passes beyond 10 runs, he will play this full series.

Good Behaviour will be rewarded
by kilikili on Aug 02, 2011 12:14 AM

Since the Indie team got rammed very hard by our erstwhile rulers the Brits, they will be rewarded by our ex masters. The Brits will thrash us the 3rd test and for being willing recepients of a sound thrashing like servants of yore, the Brits will provide a perfect (better than home) batting track for Tendlia, Dhoni , Raina , Yuvi and even Bhajia to feast and inflate their records and return home with some dignity intact. Tendlia Bhishma Pithama will reach his 100th 100 in a useless high scoring 4th test draw and our media will only focus on that instead of asking hard questions of our loss.

Ppl say Form is Temporary, Class is Permanent... But our guy Dhoni does not have Class or technique... He thrived on flat pitches... and on write ups from Shastri and Gavaskar!

dhoni has no technique to survive on genuine bowling friendly conditions. infact, parthiv is much better batsman than dhoni. even dhoni's keeping is also faulty, with many catches dropped by him.

But Dhoni, media and selectors will make sure that we wont have another quality keeper as long as Dhoni is there!

Even when he had Saha in the playing 11, he chose to keep and have Saha field somewhere, so that no one would even see how better a keeper is Saha!

just like Bhajansingh, he would never miss test. And so no other spinner get a chance, no one would get to see how better the other spinners are compare to this sardar
