Let India win this game. In the past india won and lost many times. But media is creating problems for the team india. As Mr. Aravinda desilva told that media pressure spoiled sachin batting and team india.
Funny how VVS Laxman who's top-scored in the innings is not mentioned at all! Would have liked to know how he coped against the bowlers...All the dismissals except his were discussed in minute detail!
we have to stop being too negative guys...stop bashing the bad performances all the time. give some credit to some good ones too
personally i feel sachin dravid and laxman will come good in the tests, and we shouldn't be worrying too much. even if we lose, it's not something new against SA in SA.....that's something worth remembering
It is really a good practice match for them...also winning chances also.. bowlers done their part in first inning as they will do in 2nd inning .... Also batting clicked in first inning .. little worry in second inning but this is all right .. it was a bad day for cricket , wicket must be changed :) as 17 wickets fallen on second day .. yes on third day we may get 13 more, what a big deal :))))

If you judge any batsman by watching one innings, then Sachin, Shewag can't face any type of delivery as per their dismissal types in last four ODIs. Whether it is bouncer, or good-length or shor-of-good-length or an in-cutter.
Media and politics have become the nemesis of Indian cricket of-late. Hardly had, the ball that left Gangulis bat, reached the boundary line in the practice match with a II grade SA team, before both of them started singing in Gangulys regained glory. This approach by the perpetrators of wrong causes encourages the prejudiced cricket crazy masses to rally against the rational ouster of a player even if he fails in ten matches in a row. This makes the players lesser culprits in this political game, responsible for the fall of Indian cricket in recent times.
Dear Rediff.com in you artical it is good to read. You forget writining about V.V.S who is the caption of the match. you did't mantioned even his name in your total artical
Why dont you highlight the Asian games going on instead of writing on length about this rotten cricket? Already Indian cricket is spoiled and kids are getting spoiled by this fit for nothing Imperialistic symbol. Let us encourage other sports too! I would suggest the money & resources with the Indian cricket board has to be cannibalised to grow other sports which will give pride to India. Look at the small Koreas and Japan hitting golds! Grow up!

Why don't you search some other website if you are not interested in Cricket and eager to know the Asian games result? You read the articles and then criticise the Rediff. I can say this disease is called "Chappelgiri".
