Me and my brother were one of the extremists among the Viru fans.All these days, we were expecting somebody among the commentary/board/cricinfo/rediff to speak in favour of Viru, but they didn't. We had a massive banner for Viru while India was touring England, but no one bothered to show that in the tele. We were looking for such a day when the whole of the Indians around the world will expect VIRU to save the nation. The dream has come true not only for the fans like us but also for VIRU. Viru, this is the right time for a massive comeback into the Indian team in all forms of cricket. Viru, its not just the Indians expecting your comeback but the whole of the cricketing nations minus australia wants you to give a smashing start to trash Australia's consecutive wins. We had enough pains for being ur fan. Make us feel proud... Please don't prove us wrong...
They need to get things rectified or fall at right place some how. They can either play with same 11 in sydney and hope the players would have learnt from there mistakes. But some changes that can bring some positive initiative will be to bring in Irfan for Bhajji, he would be handy in Aussie coditions and better batsman than Bajji. Get in Kartik for Dhoni, if you want some runs from wicketkeeper.
Tendulkar's bats weigh about 1.5 kilograms. The average Aussie guys use maybe 1.1 kilograms.
Very average master FOR all his formidable records one statistic Sachin Tendulkar will not be fond of is his efforts in second innings against Australia. Prior to yesterday's knock the Little Master was averaging 17.8 in all second digs against the Aussies. And yesterday? Out for 15.
Dear Suman please learn to accept the fact that even great people go through bad patches. Dravid is a world class player and perhaps technically the best at the present time. But you have to accept the fact that he IS going through a bad patch in his career!! And that does NOT mean that Dravid is not one of the best batsmen India has ever had. Knowing how good he is he will soon recover from the slump in his form.
even master blaster did not blast or tiger did not roar. Coming in middle order facing old ball and made some runs so that nobody will point finger towards them
what about failure of jaffer, laxman dhoni yuvraj and harbajan wktless???? no other Indian batsman is ready to open, cos they all are under tremendous pressure even playing in their regular slot, but.. at least dravid stayed and played otherwise we would have gone below 100 runs As a professional team player dravid he accepted challenge knowing that chief selector has already an against him and dravid face new balls stayed almost 2 hours otherwise team would have got even 100 runs Dravid is still best...Ganguly said he missed many 100s bcuz of batting up in order why he did not come forward to opening??why great tendulkar did not secirfice his position while he wanted to open in odis. tmaster blaster did not blast or tiger did not roar..where was superstars when team require their service blabbering so much in front of media Dravid is the savior not only for Indian cricket and to other Indian batsmen too
RE:let tendulkar and ganguly open in test and make them bat in diff positions in five odisagainst aussies Why dravid has to face descrimination in batting order and made scpeagoat?If ganguly and tendulkar wants to open in odis why not in tests

Simply i hope YUVI and DHONI Failure cost india this tour currently 1-0 if both are there it is Going to be 4-0 .THis is not throwing bat like MAD MAN Getting 6 Sixers and Getting 1 Crore Rupees for That, test Match means Real Cricket.i dont feel who is not good in Tests then simply they are not good cricketers. About Dhoni let him play 20-20 and one days let those people come to test cricket they can't play 5 days they make test cricket 20/20 or at Max 50/50. they can't play 5 days.you people think can criticise me why i pick YUVI,DHONI. Because of these 2 are like virus, YUVI is the Main virus.will spoil indian cricket.i can mention Jaffer and RP singh no way Equal to sehwag and IRFAN let them bringback. Get dinesh instead of Dhoni GOd sake this is Test CRICKET.instead of YUVI better try ishanth or pankaj or some new ones who deserved that place.
RE:What has been Dravid and Ganguly's last 10 innings scores ?

what about the failure of jaffer, dhoni yuvraj and harbajan wktless in first innings a Even master blaster did not blast and tiger did not roar even they batted in regular slot Atleast dravid opened innings to accomodate yuvraj and spend some time in the crease eating balls so that other batsman did not face new ball otherwise ind would have out less than 100
Someone said he is in the form of his life. I was waiting for him to hit the century..but not even 50 came? He started Bollywood acting showing he is tired etc., why put this unfit guy in the team? As for Dhoni & Yuvi..Welcome to Asutralia guys!!
