I am amazed with our defeat in Pakistan in the second test match. I was actually wondering whether that the very same bunch of guys who gave us glory a few days back were getting crucified by an attack which was demoralised and shattered a few days back. One Gul did us Dabba-gul. OR maybe it was some other factor that was playing up there. Agreed we can't win everyday but watching such matches really makes me ponder as to the match fixing allegations made earlier. Just hope the results of the Third test are also not ready by now. Hope there would be leaks about such results too. So much of Indian time would be saved. We should forget the opening puzzle and hope the jinx of losing out to demoralised teams gets over. Also hope that if fixing still exists; which seems very much probable than the puzzle of finding these fixers and fixing them up also surfaces. If a traitor is punished in the court of law than why not a traitor in the Indian Ranks be punished too. So what if the whole cream of the team has to be sacked for that. Anyways we are losing. Atleast with a fresh new bunch of guys who are playing unfixed games it shall be worth the time and agony that an INDIAN incurs otherwise
Another example of nepotism in cricket. Agreed that Ganguly has been a terrific captain but at the same time he plays favorite also. I mean its a prerogative of the captain to follow his instincts but he should not go too far in it.
Ganguly as everyone of us know has a soft corner for Yuvraj and rightly so as the Punjab player is a gifted talent and a good guy to be in the team. But what does poor Chopra has done? I thought he was phenomenal in his skills in Australia though he did not got a high score but he is the king of "stayer" that every team looks in an opening batsmen.
I do not think India has a opening puzzle. Yuvraj came in for Ganguly replacement, agreed he played well but know as Dada is coming back Yuvi should be dropped. This is to be fair to another talented player; Chopra. He should not be axed just because he does not hog the limelight and is not flamboyant in his approach.
