sack Zakh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by raj r on Dec 05, 2007 02:42 PM

Thr is no point taking Zakh to aussie tour. the problem with him is the bowling action and letting the
batsmen enough time for judging. drop him asap...

that person should follow ALL 3 criteria
(1) Cant score 100 even on a "dead pitch"
(2) Strike rate less than 50
(3) Cant Bowl, keep wickets, cant open

Saha, spoken like a true bong, you bong's are so predictable ! If anyone needs to be dropped, it has to be Ganguly simply for the reason that he plays for himself & not the team. He will surely be out of the ODI team to Australia, check out !

Had it been any other person in the team as Captain India would have won the match....Kum you are bowler learn how to rotate and try differnt bowling options...Had you tried Tendulkar/Gang/other options someone whold have broken the partnership and the match would have been ours...

It is Just because of worst Captancy we failed...He should try different options for bouling to get a break....Trying Tendulkar/Ganguly or even Lakshman like 1st innings would have given Indians the win

lotiya pathan listed 12 points not new terms but that is fact everybody knows ganguly cant face fact short ptich balls on green bouncy track
his innings against pak is courtsy of umpires
ganguly is worst fielder in ind team and poor running bte wkt will cause more runs to team
gnaguly creates pressure on other batsman by not taking singles
gnaguly throw his wkt by playing faulty shot giving catching practice to opposition fielders
watch vedio clips of bangla tour and 2nd test against pak how he was out after scoring 100
ganguly got backdoor entry using influence of cpm politicians. now also selectors have no courtage to drop him
ganguly betrayed sachin wiht other other senior players jadeja ( A MATCH FIXER AND NOW GANGULY;S MARKETING AGENT) TO GAIN CAPTIANCY
Ganguly has highest winning % as captain only in tests not in odis
In tests u take out dravid's performance and calculate gnaguly's success as captain?

Test Drawn
by jamsheed basha abumohammed on Dec 05, 2007 05:53 AM

Complacency was the factor responsible for the poor show by Indians. The huge total of 600 plus gone over their head and took it for granted they can dismantle the powerful batting line up of Pakistan. The Pakistanis on their part showed grit, determination and resolve to fight it out till the last. They showed a character not seen anywhere in both the innings. Kumble and Harbajan are not Murali and Warne, to skittle the opposition out in less than one day. All mistakes can be rectified if they learn from the past and make sure it is not done in the last Test in Bangalore, where the pitch will be different. Pakistanis who were on the back foot in this Test, now rejuvenated due to draw and it will be no wonder if they force India to the back foot. Kumble and company should realise this that home crowd backing alone will not give them a win. They should fight it hard if they wish to register a win of any character. Individuals should not be selfish to create records. On the other hand, they should bat and bowl to see their side win with a remarkable margin. This alone will ensure the success rate. In the Third Test they should try other combinations. Jaffer and Dravid can open the innings since Karthik, though talented look out of sorts due to lean patch. He may be brought down the order. Or Yuvaraj can replace him as he on earlier occasion opened the innings. He is in good form and he may be tried in the place of Karthik, though it is advisable to persist with him in Test.

What a foolish statement . In what ways are draws better than wins ? Credit should go to the umpires for staying awake and alert duirng the booooring proceedings. Billy Doctrove almost fell asleep and Harbhajan had to hold him to stop him from falling down

What has happened to you cricketing sense !!1 or your understanding of test cricket !!!.

Everyone wants results and that too fast results.

If india scored 600 plus means it is dead pitch !!! .

So wake-up and appreciate the effort by both the teams to put all the effort to win the match.

Both the teams have limitations w.r.t to the quality of bowlers they have. So wake-up and be realistic.

India won first test because of lack of application from pakistan batsman in second inning...

What crap. Test cricket is so boring . I tried hard but I cant wake up... After 5 days no result. Whats there to appreciate in such a meaningless effort. Such a bloody waste of time. There should be a bowl out after 5 days to decide who won.

We scored at 4.31 in second innings. Is that slow? We didn't lose due to lack of time or runs. The bowlers couldn't get the wickets.
