The Millionare, the Billionare, the richest industrialist like Tata, Birala, Ambani, Mittal should give Prize money to the national heros of India like world cup winner cricket team and Asia cup Champ Hockey team and Viswanathan Anand................
Venkatesh Prasad has a job at hand. I am sure he must be busy sorting out the Aussie baysmen who have found a way out to deal with our left handed pacers.Besides, Srisanth needs a lesson on controlling the white ball on Indian pitches. I am sure Indian bowlers will give an improved showing at Kochin. Saurav's injury is a blessing in disguise as India can now bring in Rohit Sharma. Will Dravid also kindly uoblige so that Utthapa can find a place? My guess, India will beat Aussies with a handsome margin.
Biggest technical mistake Dhoni made is his calculation of overs.he bowled 12 overs from 5th bowler .Pathan has 2 overs left in the end and thats a pathetic mistake when he is bowling well.But other aspects of captaicy is right.

Not bowling Pathan must have been a considered decision and not a miscalculation. With likes of Clark around, Pathan with his gentle medium pace would have been slogged for sixes again and again. That is what is imaginative captaincy is all about - seeing danger before it actually hits you. Unfortunately our slowers bowler (Powar) did not live up to the task. I have noticed Dhoni has a clear preference for specialist bowlers. I do not think he will rely on part timers like Sachin, Saurav etc. Yuvraj is not a part timer so far as containing is concerned.
Ramesh Powar is a fine bowler but he must loose extra pounds on him than we should take him.If he has dedication to play for India he will loose it . His fielding and presence looks haunting.

now the pak team is without its most famous "aloo"..the indian team has decided to add an "aloo" in its playing eleven.. our romesh powar..
If Aussies were not comfortably placed they would have done the same thing what dhoni did.And India become victim of rain several times so when its time to get benefited from it than why shoud we miss the chance

Dada absence will effect India . 1.) we will give less runs in outfield 2.) Our strike rate will be better. 3)Aussies will bowl less bouncers. 4)One run can happen

Our all the three greats deserve a respectable farewell. They have served India well. They should kept be as contracted players but should leave one dayers and T20's alone.

He made 1000 runs but wat is the strike rate it must be 65 i thought
Frustrated with the corrupt, selfish, political high handedness of Sharad Pawar in India's cricket administration?????? This contest is for you..In this great democratic country ther is no other means of expressing my opinion.
Here goes me first Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.bhooooooo His ugly face turns red
RE:Fart on Pawar's face contest
by Rogar Dat on Oct 01, 2007 09:45 AM
well his BLACK face turn red ... LoLz ... newayz his face alwayz luked lyk some farted before
Too many extras, full tosses and lack of punch. This was sadly seen in the Bangalore test. Looks like the players were still to recover from all the celebrations. Harbajqan is a better bowler and fielder compared to Powar. I hope the perforkmance is better for the next one dayer. Come on Indians show your aggressivness on the field.

India\'s victory in the World Twenty20 is richly ironic. When the International Cricket Council decided 15 months ago to hold this inaugural tournament the Indians were hostile to the idea.
So hostile that the ICC specifically agreed the tournament with the proviso that the Indians might not take part.
The ICC was nervous about going ahead without the potential economic juggernaut that is modern Indian cricket. In the end the Indians relented and the companies that are either based in India, or see India as a big market, were, in the end, prominent in South Africa.
Even this participation seemed very reluctant. Of the one-day team that lost to England, three senior players - Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Saurav Ganguly - did not go to South Africa and the captaincy was entrusted to the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who had never skippered India before. Sree Santh - who had been dropped from the one-day team against England - was included, but India\'s lead bowler Zaheer Khan did not go.
The team also consisted of players like Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and Irfan Pathan, who had not featured in Indian cricket for sometime. The team felt like an A-side, partly players trying to break in and old timers trying to make a comeback.
This may explain why Dhoni was allowed to set his own standard - enjoy yourself, play without fear - and why the team responded so well.
Rarely have I seen an Indian team play with such zest, or look so athletic.
