You say that earlier Nayan Mongia held the Indian record of five dismissals behind the wicket. You forget that it was Syed kirmani during the '83 edition of world cup who had created a world record by taking five victims in an ODI game...

Dhoni should play his natural strokes...It is a pity that he is just trying to defend the ball...no problem even if you are out..play your natural game.

Have you ever played any first class cricket game with pads, helmates & gloves ???? This is not the game like Gulli dandna my dear.
Even resound the same why should we provide so many opportunity for a useless fellow like agarkar just because he is from mumbai. Do BCCI Thinks we don't have better blower than him & i have seen kids playing in road side are much capable than this dirty fellow. Really don't how much he had paid to be part of Indian Team..............

Ravi Shastri & Sunil Gavaskar still calls him "promising young all rounder " although it's around 10 years this buffoon has made his debut.- and we all know it's bombay love

Very well said Mark, Agarkar is a real Joker, I still dont know how he gets into indian team with no batting / bowling and fielding skills
RE:RE:Y Ajit Agarkar?
by Ravi Nair on Sep 03, 2007 04:06 PM
Agarkar was a liability, is a liability and will be a liabiity...Our selectors are blind folded...If Australia selects even a village, a player like Agarkar cannot even reach the substitutes level..What a pity...

Why u are so jealous of Mumbai.? Tendulkar & agarkar are one of the best batsman & bowler in one day cricket in entire world. Their only fault is that they are from mumbai. Jaheer khan, Ramesh powar are also from mumbai. Whats wrong in that. it is known that mumbai has more talent than any city in India followed by banglore. U same idiots keep ur mouth shut when club level players from north zone like chetan sharma,Ajay sharma,Nikhil chopra, Ishant sharma,Hp singh rtc & n no. of others non performer keep representing India just because some one has to be given chance from north whether he deserve or not/ It is well known fact that mumbai has won record no. of times Ranji trophy matches & produced maximum international class cricketer in india. Regional politics is that club level players from delhi/punjab/bengal keep getting chance to represent Indian team just to keep regional balance.This is really shameful. I believ if all 11 best players come from two cities e.g mumbai/banglore, select entire team from there. Whats harm in it. Please stop demanding reservation even in cricket.

i might be wrong, but ive seen tendulkar mix only with agarkar on most occasions. there will be friends in the team, and there will be 'zonal' freinds. we can only wodner what goes on in the team.
RE:Dhoni equalled whom????????
by Rajesh Nair on Sep 03, 2007 03:42 PM
We cant compare Gilchrist to Dhoni,, He is the captain of 20 20 , he is not even taking 20 runs in the series, It is the keepers duty to keep the balls behind the wicket., naturaly he has to do it
Team INDIA should be well aware that series is not over yet! We have serious problems with BOWLING even our front line bowlers are wrecked by some good batting by English batsman!
Fielding has been most disappointing after bowlers start miserably. Drop catches, easy singles and doubles, misfields are quite common despite ROBIN SINGH has been TEAM INDIAs fielding coach.
No wonder our bowling coach VENKATESH PRASAD was himself was most rubbish bowler of all time!
Hope INDIA can save this series with SENIORS taking more responsiblity and showing true talent!
I think he has broken the record. Because, Gilchrist and others who have six dismissals, have those out of ten outs; while in Dhoni's case the inninigs was not complete and only eight were out. It needs to be checked with statisticians
RE:Dhoni equals world record
by Aishrya R on Sep 03, 2007 03:40 PM
Don't talk rubbish friend.Its never based on number of wickets lost,its based on 1 match, whether its 25 overs or 50. If you look at that Kapil Dev's record of 170 was never broken as he was not out
I dont understood the base reason for picking up Agarkar over other Bowlers in the Team. Just becoz he is a Maharastrain and Mumbaite .....
Every Match hez proven that he is consistency at giving runs .... Agreed that he picks up wickets for his high economical overs ...... He does not justify his place in the ODI team....

by C K DEVAN on Sep 03, 2007 03:35 PM
he is chamcha of sachin tendulkar. listen live commentary of Ravi Shastri & Gavaskar (Mumbai cricketors) about ajit agarkar. According to them he is best ODI player!!!! god save our cricket from polititians toooo

India should bring Ranadeb Bose. He is a splendid bowler. I have seen his action, he has the fighting spirit. Bad luck he did not get chance in the Tests. He took wickets in a demo match against sri lanka while the indian team was playing tests.

We have to forget for one spell that we are Indian and the same thinking will washed away our all doubts of Mahthis, Mumbaits, Gujratis, Marvadis, and all. What a Nation is ours with a vast population of "/1/6" of the World population. Give away our hate of "Zonal/Religious".
Yesterday, any way, Agarkar too was a team member and only team spirit made it possible to bring the match within the court of us. Please releax.
RE:Y Ajit Agarkar?
by Saccha Hindustani on Sep 03, 2007 03:47 PM
Ramkrishna, you are right! To become world beater we need to break this "ZONAL and RELIGIOUS" mind behind! Though selection should be based on pure performance not based on past records or performance!
RE:Y Ajit Agarkar?
by Ramakrishna Panicker on Sep 03, 2007 03:59 PM
Thanks Mr. Saccha Hindustani, whosoeveritmaybe, we need only unity with out any partial feelings.
Let be our team members like a,b,c but they would be of World Class.
RE:Y Ajit Agarkar?
by Saccha Hindustani on Sep 03, 2007 03:37 PM
There are players who are waiting for their chance , sitting idle in INDIA! BCCI, Captain and senior player should take initiative to send Agarkar, Munaf back home just like they send Pathan from SA and bring in ABID NABI who is surprisingly most fastest bowler in INDIA at the moment and bring in Manoj Tewari as an all rounder!
RE:Y Ajit Agarkar?
by BhejaFry on Sep 03, 2007 03:33 PM
whom do you suggest should replace him ? are there any other 'consistent' bowlers sitting on the bench at the moment ? the fact is we do not have adequate number of good medium pacers. we have to manage with what we have. agarkar has taken almost 300 ODI wickets , so he justifies his place in the team
RE:Y Ajit Agarkar?
by Pramod Kumar on Sep 03, 2007 03:35 PM
I think Irfan is better. Ajit does play well after six matches and then goes for many. He is complete mug with the bat whatever Bombay commentators may say.
well dhoni is going gr8 guns. i wish he repeats this performance in the next two ODIs of the series as well to win the series!!!congrats dhoni for equalling the world record!!! way 2 go man....cheers!!!
