Well folks,yours truly got his prediction right(I said 4 days ago that AK should be chosen as captain-with MSD as his deputy and groom MSD till~12 months to 18 months).Even otherwise, Kumble deserves it.He had to be awarded for the glory he's brought to India & Indian cricket.

Ur Absolutely Right, Dhoni Has Lost His Cricket to Deepika, He is Playing a Lot of Indoor Games Than Playing Cricket.

yes. dhoni started becoming a dhobi to wash the clothes of deepika and uses the same technique while batting.
We Must Thank Zaheer Khan For Not Playing in T20 World Cup, OtherWise if He Had Played India Would Have Lost the T20 World Cup.
This Jerk Zaheer Khan is Supposed to Be SpearHead of Indian Bowling Attack, But Looking at his Performances from World Cup This Jerk Loooks Like a Third Class Bowler, He is the Most Inconsistent Bowler in Indian Side With No Control Over Line, Length and Swing.
So Thank U Zaheer Khan For Not Playing In T20 World Cup.

Maxx and please compare last 20 matches bowling performance on nutral mind set up and who are first two best bowler in test and one dayers. please be passionative not argutive or other mind setup for sack of country .
RE:Zaheer Khan Thank U Very Much?????????????????

If we will not faith on Zaheer or dhoni or Sehwag how can they perform. I think think biggest motive for their performance are we and our faith. If we will not support them and give chance who will give Aussies or Pakies infact Zaheer has hirt Pakies media in his last tour.
If they can,t defend a score of 320 ,then what score they want to defend 400 or 500 ......even that score that score they can,t defend but one think is sure whenever Sachin did well and India crossed 300 mark against Pak,India lost the match and this three time in a row.....that,s why sachin is not rated a match winner player......becz he seldom gets the team support what can he do?and who will teach lesson to our bowlers that while batsman is sloging there is only way to get rid of that is the yorker bowling but they are Bowling Short and Full toss,giving gift to the ordinary batsman like tanvir and afridi

that does not meanhe is not match winner.... if he had not scored yesterday it would be 230 simple.. u mean to say india would have wopn the match...
RE:Same on India Team
by brijesh kumar singh on Nov 09, 2007 10:49 AM
Yes...........bcz we have bowler like Zaheer Khan..From the first over he of the matck he ensured that india is not going to win the match by gifting 10 runs without any effort.And as far is Sachin is concernd ....no need to tell anything he is great....and he will be in future...nobody is going to touch his greatness height...if you are comparing our team with Australia then think about the committment of australia and India..and if are comparing Ponting with Sachin....then think about the bowlers.....He never faced MacGrath ,Shane Warn BrateLee and Bracken....if Ponting would have faced then........i think he would have taken retirement....got it.Sachin faced the following great bowlers Shane warn,MacGrath,Wasim Akram,Waquar,Imran Khan,Bottom,Abrose,Walls,Lee,Akhtar...Out of them......Three are australians Great.who has dominzated the world cricket...

I never talked about his batsmenship qualities, commitment etc - i only mentioned that when he scores - India loses - I hope everybody understand what I mean -
Once again vengarkar proved that he is a brainless. His decision to include shewag in place of Karthik costs india the victory. Shewag is a junk player. India should have retained the same team which won the first ODI. Once again vengsarkar proved himself that he is a cartoon.
RE:Down down Shewag
by Ramanathan on Nov 09, 2007 10:40 AM
I Think Vengsarkar is Trying to make his comeback as a player to the Indian Team. Wait and See...He is going to come out of retirement and Play Cricket...Because he Wants to make money in ADs....HHAHAAHA
I think Raina should be inducted into the team immediately. The fact that he made a hash of the earlier opportunity should have nothing to do with the decision on him in the present context. He was man of the tournament in the Challenger series and has scored a Ranji double century since then. You just can't let this kind of form languish. Besides he is easily the best contemporary Indian fielder.
RE:Bring Raina
by Akhil on Nov 09, 2007 10:06 AM
Bhai Kabab. The basic problem is money. Everyone is getting so much money that they r least bothered about their performance. Last match itself, Assam Cricket board gave gift of 1 lakhs rupees each to the player. The other problem is selectors. They still want to continue with useless players like Gandguly, Sehwag, uthappa. What shall we do??? Useless selctors. Even a first standard school boy can select a proper team. Imagine if India has selectors like this and with bowling coach like Prasad (even Kumble bowls fasters than him), do u expect India to win matches??? Wasim Akram showed interest in bowling coach for india but BCCI turned it down only because he was Pakistani. This is too much!!! No use in watching such useless matches where BCCI is always intersted in making money.
RE:Bring Raina
by Akhil on Nov 09, 2007 10:18 AM
Hahahha...Kiran Kumar, I am also Kannadiga. So dont be region centric. I have said earlier that bring Dravid in place of Uthappa. U have to accept the facts man, i fu have to have the winning habit. Right arm slow bowlers like Prasad can do nothing good to India. Prasad never bowled a single yorker in his entire life. Now, he is teaching these young fast bowlers to bowl leg and off cutters which r not always effective. We need someone like Wasim Akram who can teach youngsters how to bowl in block holes. How to do reverse swing. Prasad even doesnt knw what is reverse swing. So far Uthappa, the less we talk about him, it's better. He should play in T20 only. He doesnt deserve to take Dravid's place. BRING BACK THE WALL OF INDIA!!!
The Answer is Big NO, Look at Our Bowling LineUp, The Only Wicket Taking Bowler's in Indian Team are SreeSanth and To Some Extent RP Sngh(Bcoz of His Bouncer's and OutSwinger's).Look At the SpearHead of Indian Bowling Attack Zaheer Khan He is The Most Inconsistent in Both Line and Length and Swing, In Fact He Cannot Control His Swing At All, He Has Played 2 World Cup's But Still Bowls Like a NewComer Very Inconsistent in His Line, Length and Swing Bowling.
RP Singh Should SpearHead the Indian Bowling, Coz He Has Better Control On lIne, Length and Swing.
This Must Be the LineUp of Indian Bowling:-
RP Singh
SanthaKumaran SreeSanth
Irfan Pathan
Ranadeb Bose/Ishanth Sharma
Murali Kathik/Piyush Chawla
Part Time Bowler's Can Be:-Sachin, YuvRaj Singh and Sehwag/Saurav(If Selected To Play).
RE:DOes Indian Team Have Wicket Taking Bowler's???????????
by vivek on Nov 09, 2007 09:48 AM
with this kind of bowling attack we can be competitive only in shorter version of the game.. it was very clearly evident, my worry is abt the up coming test matches... i have full respect for our bowlers.. but we have to accept the truth that we dont have real good bowlers as of now..
RE:DOes Indian Team Have Wicket Taking Bowler's???????????
by maxxx on Nov 09, 2007 09:50 AM
Forget About Test Matches, Even With Bowler's Like Zaheer and HarBhajan U Cannot Win Any ODI's If Zaheer Would Have Been in T20 India Would Have Lost The World Cup.
RE:DOes Indian Team Have Wicket Taking Bowler's???????????
by Prasad Manokaran on Nov 09, 2007 09:59 AM
this is a very gud suggestion. but wat to do. if zahher bowls poorly he will be replaced by agarkar and vice versa.
RE:DOes Indian Team Have Wicket Taking Bowler's???????????
by Aniruddha Ghare on Nov 09, 2007 10:16 AM
Agarkar is much better player than all the currently playing fast bowler.
RE:Lost because of Dhoni
by Akhil on Nov 09, 2007 10:00 AM
Dhobi should be dropped first. He doesnt have any technique to bat. Poor field placement. The other crap is Uthappa. He has to be dropped. Bring Dravid in his place. He is the wall of India and there's no point in keeping him away. Look at Younis. Did Pakistan threw him for not playing in last 4-5 matches?? But Uthappa is total inconsistent. Get's out in 30s-40s. he should understand that this is not T20. Other problem is Yuvraj. These guys Dhobi, Yuvraj, Sehwag and Uthappa are just overhyped and overated players. They should never be trusted. I welcome the decision to select Kumble as tet captain. I doubt whether dhobi would play in test matches. India lost y'days match beacause of Dhobi, Uthappa and Yuvraj. bad fielding so many catches dropped.
RE:Lost because of Dhoni
by uncle shame on Nov 09, 2007 10:12 AM
yes. dhoBi has no technique to bat and he uses bat like a typical dhobi only as if to wash clothes. he missed the stumping as well. Thank god, that dhobi is not the captain of test team.this time selection committee did not come under pressure from media managers of dhobi.
