Get back Ganuguly in 6th ODI for miracle
by pinto on Apr 15, 2005 02:35 PM

Let us get back Ganguly for 6th ODI for mitracle to happen. Otherwise we lose the series. Horrible bowling changes and field placement. Only Ganguly can save us with his astute captaincy brain! The real 'Dada' of Indian cricket.

Super but Little Worst
by Harirajesh on Apr 15, 2005 02:33 PM

I think the Soil (Pitch) in the Morning was not so good it had some watery surface and even Mr.Ramiz Raja Said that i will be difficult to play in this pitch , if this was the case the Match Refree may have started a bit late after the Soil was under stress .

Indian Cricket Team should be banned from International Cricket
by Manas Nayak on Apr 15, 2005 02:28 PM

The Indian cricket team should be banned from playing international cricket.Sachin Tendulkar should be immediately kicked out of the team.He is exclusively useless.Only the media created a hype about him.Except sharjah, he never made India proud by winning match for the team.He always concentrated in getting his personal records in tact.

Entire series seems to be FIXED!
by Shakes on Apr 15, 2005 02:18 PM

You win 3, I win 3!

Isn't that a wonderful way of paying tribute to this "Friendship Series". I am infact surprised, why would they organize a 6 match series!! So that both teams share it 3-3! Fabulous- I sometimes feel all of this is just fixed right from the word "GO"!-comeon lets be realistic here they dont even show you the coin after the toss. I have always often wondered, when the TV camera could go so close, why would'nt they show us the COIN AFTER THE TOSS?

I feel bad and hurt, when i see dejected Indian faces (young and old) when their country performs so badly- they dont even think abt the crores who actually put everything to a STOP just to watch their countrymen fight it out in the middle- but all they get is a rush of wickets and bundles of ADVERTISEMENTS!

If anyone can also explain why we lost the Test match at Bangalore on the final day- i wld be blessed! But the problem is we (Indian Public) have too much of short term memories and we are ever-forgiving!!!

Why cant we just face the fact- its all FIXED- by the ICC too!!!

Just kidding....India will lose this game in shame and that shud make the team perform better in the next ODI. But frankly, I have no hopes for India.

What type of decession it is?
by Gopal Ta on Apr 15, 2005 02:11 PM

We all know India team has lots of pertime spinner. Where Sachin can spin much more than regular spinner. Shewag, Yuvraj,Mongia also can spin wel. Then what is the need of playing two spinner at the squad. It is nothing but a very bad decission. Here Dravid has no option. It will provide India a very bad loss in 5th ODI. I hope both Caption &Team Management have required to think deeply.

Confidence Needed
by karthikeyan on Apr 15, 2005 02:01 PM

HI,

I felt overall problem of Indian cricketers is there confidence level. They always go with high pessimism and loose.
See the Pakistanis, especialy Afridi even though the pitch favours the bowlers, he is striking with high confidence.
I think overall game is all about using your mental ability rather than anything else.

Team order
by Sriram Nagarajan on Apr 15, 2005 01:56 PM

From my childhood i couldn't see any improvement in Indian Cricket. I still remember
chetan,binny doing more contribution to makeup for a decent score.

Only solution is board should be given more power and the members should be bold enough to make decisions. I don't know why sachin still opening?
The question is Do you want to see sachin scoring hundred or India wining? Most of the indians like to see sachin scoring runs rather than Indian victory; This is our problem.
I always say his 30 odd runs in middle order is 1000 times better than his 100 after 3/4 games.
Open saurav with shewag
Then the order follows
kaif, Sachin,dravid,yuvraj/badani/dinesh..rest follows.

....ram
