About zhaeers form it is not returning
india cost 2 maches cause of his form
he should leave the team now for some time
and let other new comers in as remaining bowlers
including pathan doing well in batting and bowling
both he should look at his performance and be out
for some time to win this historic tour otherwise
india could not win this series and the record
of not wining series in pakistan remain unbeaten

it is time for indian player to get the rythem
by R.Sridhar on Mar 18, 2004 05:16 PM

As rightly said by srinath all the three bowlers
should strike in all the remaining matches.They should
adapt the real technic and bowl straight to the stump
not wasting too many deliveries by way of giving wide
/noball. Just see the batsman weakness and bowl
according to him. If you bowl short delivery you will
end up with give away more runs. There should be a
variety in each and every ball and the batsman can not
judge what is going to be the next delivery. At this
juncture india need good all rounders who can bat
bowl and field exceptionally well. If we have five to
six all rounders no country can beat india with the
robust line up.

Fatigue what?
by P P Chatufale on Mar 18, 2004 01:58 PM

Dear Srinath after scoring 141 runs in a high pressure situation any batsman in the world will be fatigued irrespective of his age.What is more you also looked fatigued in all the matches after bowling 5 overs especially when you have been hit for sixes and fours in those 5 overs.
Conclusion : Don't blame Sachin.Blame it on other 10

replace zaheer for pathan
by RAJESH on Mar 18, 2004 01:47 PM

dear all
i have sent so many messages about this issue. i think zaheer has to be replaced for pathan. pathan had done well in the past and will do much even now. atleast more better than zaheer khan. who is not at all concentrating in bowling. even batting he is zero. he has to be replaced. i had written enough reasons in my previous mails.

thanks
rajesh

Improvements

The biggest blunder in the second ODI against Pakistan was giving Zaheer the bowling.It almost added to that 20 odd extra runs.With figures of 5(overs)-51(runs)how could Ganguly imagine that he could contain the batsmen.He could not!Yuvraj was bowling considerably well and he also had one over remaining,so he could have bowled one in the slog overs.Moreover Balaji could also have been given the ball(in the slog overs).

Also why doesnt the team go in for a foreign bowling coach.Agreed Kapil is a legend but he was not a tearaway fast bowler.Cricket has changed.Its not the same game which was played in his era.A foreign coach would have always made a difference as it did in Australia.
The bowlers performed exceptionally well,even the young Pathans' and Balajis'.

So think about it India,I want to see you winning.

Zaheer return
by riz man on Mar 18, 2004 11:52 AM

without doubt Zaheer's return in form is very crucial for india to stay in series, but is ganguly think that way, I doubt. There is reason to raise this question, why Ganguly opted to open inning with Laxmi, when he had option to give new ball to Nehra or Zaheer. This kind of activity is going to undermine the confidence level of senior and more experienced bowler. But who care neither Ganguly neither management, Gangly is more interested to develop calcutta conection, all the best.
