Indian team should practice on bouncing pitches and should maintain its masters on domestic pitches. I don%u2019t doubt our team will become a world leader after that. Now the only thing remains is the fairness of Game. If Sachin, Dravid, and Shewag failed fitness test then how come Dhoni passed the same in semi final and final of 20-20 despite his aching Back. Its better to have no leader and only Captian and Team coordinator who finally decide the team matters. BCCI as such has not shown any willingness to Improve the Politics in game as it itself is a politically driven organization. Wish Sania Mirza and Viswanathan Anand remain spared from politics. That%u2019s the only reason why our Hockey team flourished.

1. To play Romesh Powar ahead of Harbhajan 2. Continue bowling Powar even after he started each of his over with a six 3. Did not try bowling with Sachin knowing very well that sachin performs well in his bowling than his batting these days.
Pros: 1. Successfully convinced umpires and Gilly that the play cannot be continued. (If game continued what a day it would have been for Dhoni and his team !!!)

ridiculous comments of yours about sachin, firstly, he was the best batsman in England. You need to get ur memory right. Secondly, fine india were in a bad situation at teh beginning of their innings but dont forget if the matched would have been curtailed to 26 overs, 201 runs would have been the target if match would have started at the time it was called off when dhoni declined, india was in a better position to get it considering that e are world champions in the shortest format and have beaten Australia recently.

Joshi sahab aap paakka mumbai ke ho:-) isiliye aisa bol rahe ho... I totally agree with u sanjay puslekar.......I think sanjay puslekar has a very good understanding abt the game of cricket. Hey man don't go for records ow many matches he has won for india..I garee may be he has won some matches for india but at that time look at the quality fats bowlers in opposition(they were really weak). Now u will say He has scored runs in england the see at that time England was without there quality fast bowlers like mathew hoggard,simon jones,harminson and flintof(Flintof played only 3 ODI's).........Yuvi is far better than sachin becooz he can handle quality fast bowlers ... look at the way how sachin has played against Australia in first ODI, His fielding was too sloppy......Our commentators don't say anything against him bcoz he is so called great and by saying something against him will end their career as commentator......More over all the commentators are all fro mumbai(gavasKAR,sanjay manjareKAR,rohan gavasKAR, ravi sahstri)........ Why english men don't say anything against him bcoz they know they can win easily against India till sachin is in Indian team.....Chappel was the first brave and honest person who dared to ask selectors not to select so called seniors in Indian team......Finally my friend records doesn't matter, if u are truely the greates batsman of all the time then u should have qualities to handle pressure while chasing against genuine quality fast bowle

Dear Mr Gupta, Initially I thought that I will not respond to the article by Mr Pulsekar since it is not worthy of comments. After reading your rejoinder, I could not stop myself. It is very apparent that you do not follow the game and occasionally drop two liners, which is the favourite pastime of one and all. You say that Yuvi plays fast bowling better than sachin. how many centuries yuvi has scored in tests and ODIs on australian and SA pitches. didnt you read the interview of yuvi in TOI yesterday where he himself has acknowledged that he has been a failure in tests. if you look at the records, sachin has scored centuries in SA and Aus against quality fast bowling. he is past his prime but his 50% is also better than 100% of most batsman. only sachin and dravid can play quality fast bowling with bounce and swing whereas laxman can negotiate only bounce and not swing. by the way, manjrekar is the biggest critic of sachin (and I am not marathi).

Dear All, 1st of all I thanks to all of u to join with me at this forum. Ok. For ur kind info.. about Sachin, sachin was the great batsman of our Ind.Cri. team. but now i don't think so, that he cud give his 100 % perfomance on ground, coz. he is now 34 yrs old and his body cud not respond to it. Hence i think he shud play only 1 or 2 matches in a series and in other matches give chance to our youngsters so that winning combination wud be continued.

Dear Mr Frank, Please stop stating facts and records. They wont matter if batsman is out of form. And let me tell you, sachin has to play really well, to have a place in the team, especailly when Robin,Gambhir, and so many youngster are in good form and are Poverty struck hungry to make runs and win India the match. Sachin is just carrying along as long as he can, and make as much as he can, before he retires. If i or Chappell was in selection committe, both Ganguly, sachin will be dropped. Dravid will be given a chance for 2,3 matches. Thanks for being polite.

If you have played a little cricket then try and be more courteous. Tendulakar just had a fabulous series in england...and the ball that got him out was a very good one..
