Sachin, Sehwag in World XI teams

RE:Real shame by srinivas on Aug 23, 2005 07:32 PM Hi friend, whom do you talking about 10000 runs, if you are really talking about sourav ganguly means i am against to you, because the present form of ganguly is so bad that he is unfit for indian team also, because of him only lot of talented young players missing chances, dont you think so    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Real shame by Zameer Rehmani on Aug 24, 2005 10:03 AM Absolute nonsense!! Agendas and Propagandas that's all I see in this selection. It's obvious this selection committee had no integrity, nor any sincerity in their objective to pick the best possible team. They all should be ashamed of themselves; for whatever its worth, I have lost all the respect for Gavaskar and his so called cricket acumen. Absolute BS.    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Real shame by Nagesh on Aug 23, 2005 05:20 PM I think instead of laxman or anil they should be really preffering Ganguly who have scored a lot of runs in the past and abt anil is concerned he is poor performer these days he shouldnt be playing county matches and shoud be banned ,,,.......    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Real shame by Ashutosh Shukla on Aug 24, 2005 02:14 AM Vittori's selection in ODI is justified because in last 2 years He played 44 ODIs scored 316 runs @ avg of 21 as against that Kumble has played 23 matches and scored just 88 runs at an average of 14 Now bowling.. Kubmle has picked up 21 wkts at a HIGH avg of 47 in last 2 years V/s 55 Wkts at a LOW avg of 23 I SUPPORT VITTORI OVER KUMBLE in ODIs In tests though Kumble has done better..He deserved the place.. Last two years Vittori has played 20 tests and pciked up 68 wkts Kumble has played 19 tests and picked up 112 wkts    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Real shame by Vaithi on Aug 24, 2005 08:43 AM Hi, "The selection panel also included former England captain Mike Atherton, Richard Hadlee, West Indian legend Clive Lloyd, South African fielding great Jonty Rhodes and Sri Lankan star batsman Aravinda de Silva With Sunil Gavaskar" I think, those people are having good cricket knowledge than us. I stick with selection panel's final selection.    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Real shame by Venu on Aug 23, 2005 03:59 PM U r right, Manoj.Vettori can't be compared to the highest Indian wicket taker, Kumble.It seems to be more show off game for ICC.What have Shaoib, Afridi to do there, Crowd pullers? Rahul is ranked 5 in the ODI rankings and yet not selected.Ridiculous, isn't it?    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Real shame by Rakesh on Aug 23, 2005 08:44 PM Who do you refer to when you say "player who has scored 10000 ODI runs doesn't find a place in the side."? If you meant Jayasuriya, then I too find it a shame that a fine batsman of his calibre and tenacity hasn't found a place in the team. But if you meant our great Dada, then I totally disagree. The amount of time, matches and damage to Indian cricket it took for Dada to cross the 9950-10000 gap, speak volumes. Have a look at Dada's performance chart for last 2 years and I'm sure you won't be asking this question anymore. I don't know how long Dada plan to impose himself on the India team by the virtue of his PAST performances and his strong links at BCCI, but to a common Indian cricket fan he doesn't even deserve a place in the Indian team, let alone in the World XI teams.    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Real shame by sivram on Aug 23, 2005 09:33 PM Its a real shame to paste this article considering the performance of Laxman for the past couple of months. His performance has not been ordinary but horrible. I feel that he should never be considered for indias selection.    Forward   |   Report abuse
