Every cricketer who plays in county cricket is of the opinion that county cricket helps them. If that is case, why england is not able to produce outstanding cricketers like Sachin, Akram, Inzamam, Murlitharan, Kumble. They have not been able to produce a single cricketer worth its name after the exit of Botham and Gower. Had county cricket been that competitive like the Sheffield Shield, England should have atleast won one World Cup. County cricket only helps swing bowlers that too because of conditions rather than format of the game itself.
main problem with our players in general is that they dont want to admit that they are in a slump and failing. No matter whom you ask says i have no clue why i was dropped...i have always tried my best to take wickets/score runs etc....blah..blah...blah...come on just admit and try to rectify...dont whine

Harish, just kidding. Harbhajan is a joker. He cannot even take wicket in India, forget about teking wicket abroad. But I should thnkyou for advetising abt Harbhajan in the media. I always thought you are a smart writer, but how come you are saying good abt Harbajan. Anyway, we will select him in our next tour. We will eventually sideline Anil Kumble and make him quit.
haaa haaa so funny messages.. rediff is wonderful entertainment.. yes. bhajji should not be allowed in the team... people here are statisticians.. no doubt he is good bolwer in india, but outside india, he is a big big big failure. and never won a man of the match award for his bowling. he never ever bowled well on fast pitches. He and Sehwag were main reason for india not winning matches outside subcontient for such a slong time,.. even this series, if india win.. it will be after 21 years.. and full credit goes to vengsalakr... he bring ganguly.. rp singh, and zaheer. otherwise, chappell ruined so many careers
Dont publicize these useless guys in ur forum.Harbhajan,shewag,dinesh mongia all proved they r worthless.Just its time for new guys to come into indian cricket.Dont focus on these useless chaps.If u want try out piyuesh chawla.

yep. your worthless fellow Sehwag was the reason we were atleast competitive abroad. and yep. he has a 2 point better average than the worlds greatest batsman in the last 3 years.
dont give me the crap on this on going test. a puffed up pitch. and combined experience of english bowlers is what? 25 tests??? and we almost lost to them but for the rain.
stop living in past about te existing world's greatest batsman. he is a spent force. stop living in denial.

Mr Philo, A test match is a test match. So what if the English bowlers dont have experience? It is funny, if India had not done well, you say that they cant win even against 2nd string bowling attack, if they win you say it is only against 2nd string attack. Amongst Indian bowlers only Zaheer and Kumble are experienced. Both Sreesanth and RP Singh played less than 10 tests. So stop being pessimistic and try to find faults in everything the team does. You could argue that India played badly in Lords and we accept that but dont take away anything from the team for this game. Actually England is in such a situation due to its batting. Please give credit where it is due.

One more thing Mr Philo, Even though Sachin is past his prime he is still better than most others. Despite paying way below his best the bowlers could not get him out for 4 hours and it took a bad umpiring decision to get him out. You talk about Sehwag, he is actually a spent force. the bowlers all around the world know how to get him out and it is proved by his dismissals.
