Dont about ''Chokers'' title
by Venu on Aug 08, 2004 08:33 AM

What do OTHERS mean by calling us "Chokers".. shouldn't we GET to the finals..hahaha..

Should we really mind some "TITLE" which makes no sense.

So as per them the team shouldn't go to the finals and should be out of the tournament in the prelims...how funny :)

Really don't care what they call us.. just do our work..

Indians are not Chokers...

Yes it is true that indians are not chokers but how can we justify 13 final lost.All the way a better team always deserve win finals.But why indians lacking to win final?
As per as my opinion as concern Batting lineup should be like these :
1.Yuvraj Singh (new ball is better for him because he doesn't play swip or cut well against spiners)
2.Sachin Tendulkar
3.VVS Laxman
4.Rahul Dravid
5.Saurav Ganguly ( he is one of the best player against spin thats why he must come in this place)
6.Virendra Shewag (Hiting needed for this place and he can do well )
7.Dinesh Kartik (Wicket Keepar)
8.Irfan Pathan
9.L Balaji
10.Harbhajan Singh / Anil Kumble
11.Ashis Nehera / Ajit Agarkar / Zahir Khan
12.Md Kaif (He got maximum chance and not consistent enough so stay in 12 position and give chance to dinesh kartik who bats well and keeping, makes rahul dravid free, what he doesn't like)

India the worst chokers!
by Muralidhar Rao on Aug 06, 2004 10:56 PM

Ganguly is in total denial. If a team loses 13 out of 14 finals, then they justify the tag of chokers. In fact no other team besides West Indies and South Africa at the moment can be worse than India as far as choking is concerned. Ganguly is in fact leading one of the teams that lacks in the giant killing spirit. When it comes to finals the Indians play like scared chickens.

India are not one-day chokers : Ganguly

What with his dismal batting display in the final, it will do Ganguly a lot of good if he can keep his mouth shut for a change.

CHOKERS
by krishnakumar on Aug 06, 2004 08:01 PM

I think the biggest CHOCKER in the Indian team is GANGULY.I can not recollect his contribution in any of the matches for India to make it to the finals.Secondly,his contribution in finals is abmysal.He looses faith,when he sees a big score on board,which is quite evident from the way he bats and by his post match comments.

We should rest him for the next series.

It is surprising that ganguly does not want to admit the bare truth which even a child knows.If you lose 13 out of 14 finals then what it is ? If a team boasting of world class cricketers cannot score even 229 runs against just reasonably good bowling then why should we play cricket? Perhaps too much is doled out for players.Mohd kaif has hardly cntributed with his bat once his position has become secure.Every player should earn his place be it sachin,ganguly or kaif.Payment should be performance based & the bassic pay should be minimum.They should be barred from advertisement other than for charity.Too much money has spoiled them .Unless board acts on these lines we will never see good cricket from our players.Earlier days players used to be dedicated &earned their bread through cricket.Thats why it makes pleasure to watch earlier clippings.now all tose things are missing.Foregn player earns much less compared to indian & thats why they play better cricket.
