This article is definetly dissapointing. It just shows how a smart indian got the attention of the aussies and thats his only claim to fame. The bitter taste is his absolute high regard for Australia and absolutely no regard for Indian cricket. No one needs the beautiful intelligence given by this guy to figure out the Aussies are in a different league.
His thoughts about India at the WorldCup are at best laughable. Our world cup campaign was successfull and credit is due to John Wright and Saurav Ganguly and the entire team. They played like never before. I have been watching indian cricket for over 15 years and this is the best I have seen my country play.
who is this ? and what is he talking about?i am also mumbaikar but i never heard this thing before that a guy didn't pass any exam because he is non-marathi ...and for ur kind information there is something beyond statistics...sachin tendulkar had back problem ...before that problem arised ,he always stood there in slips ,after that problem ,he is standing elsewhere...how can u imagine him as a keeper...this is a joke of a day....

Hey Preetham:
How many government forms have you filled in Mumbai? I have to struggle not only with the Marathi-laced goverment forms, but also the Aamchi-Mumbai Pandu's asking for dollars.
Proud to be Mumbaiker hence I respect and have learned some Marathi. But I definitely do not relish or look forward to writing an exam in Marathi, holding a long detailed conversation in Marathi - not exactly my cup of tea.

so the examiner spoke Marathi...So how does that affect the actual test. Was it an interview or exam...I can understand if it was an interview..but the examiner has nothing to do with the actual test with his vernacular. Did the examiner not understand KT's answers. Or did Kt not know when he could start writing...or stop...or that he could not cheat...or that it was a statisticians test...so if i go to Chennai..and the examiner speaks Tamil...do teh numbers change...do the test questions take a different meaning...my examiners here in teh US have their own dialect or hill billy speak...that does not mean the language i have to answer in changes...
Hey man Krishna ,your art of recording the data is quite astounding.But regarding your comment on the worldcup performance of the Indians, I disagree with that.You say imagine India without sachin in the worldcup but I say u imagine the Aus without Bichel in the worldcup,I think they would have never reached finals had he not been replaced for Gillespie,like that every team has a Hero.
My sincere advice to you is that stop doing service to other nations when they don't pay you off,serve your motherland.
Such statstics and analysis (so called) is useless and waste of time for the creator as well as readers. Rediff should not publish any article just for the sake of publishing, but it should also check the autheticity of such articles before publishing. Krisha may be trying to come in fame with his some influence in rediff.
Why is that indians are always unsatisfied with our team's performance.Even experienced commentators of India who have played at the highest level are so critical of india's performance.Just hear the english team commentators they praise nasser hussain an ordinary batsman like a magician.So support Ganguly & Co. fully.
Krishna seems to infer that all superior teams are probably those that have not been adequately tested.by the same yardstick,the aussies were worse off! they weren't tested at all? does that mean they were worse than the indians and didn't deserve to win the world cup and just got lucky?! it's Krishna who got lucky that the team he was doing his maths about won.spare us the torture of such articles in future,please.
