Kevin Pietersen is the best batsman in the world no doubt about it, he is the great thinker of the game and he can contribute for his country as a batsman and a captain. So, All the best for his future.

INDIA & PAK TO LEARN FROM ENGLAND!
by Kabeer on Aug 04, 2008 11:43 PM  | Hide replies

Can India & Pak learn something from England?

Even in Englad captaincy of its cricket team is one of the nations coveted job.

Yet England was a little dispassionate when they made Nasser Hussain as their Captain (a man not born in their country and not a 100% ethnically Brit, though born and raised there and was a Brit citizen!)

Now, a Migrant from South Africa who became a Brit purely for enhancing his cricketing career has been crowned with the National teams captaincy.

Can India and Pak learn something from this?

Sometime ago, Saurav Ganguly openly asked his management to take Wasim Akram as his teams bowling coach. There were murmurs in India that there are enough former players who can give good guidance.

Similarly, some Pakistanis, respectable as they are, openly questioned Wasim Akrams patriotism in revealing nations treasure secrets of fast bowling to the enemy (sic) country and thereby negating the advantage of Shoaid and Asif.


Wasim Akram is more popular and respected as a cricketer than the legendary Imran Khan in India.

the new bakra. Feel sad for him, he is saddled with a weak team. And the added responsibility will only further weaken a team having just one match-winner ie KP himself.

It is a very bad selection as KP is one of the best batsmen in the world.
Not all grat players are Great captains ( eg. Sachin, Gavasakar).

Indians are so foolish; they treat some entertainers as gods and ready to lick their back. Even it might be sachin ,amitabh ,sharukh or Rajnikanth.
Foolish people , Please try to admire the people who do so much for the country not this entertainers .

the guys who abuse the seniors have a goldfish memory and short on details on pretty much everything. investing in youth is fine, but everything takes time - you dismiss the seniors - yu risk getting a team like zimbabwe - the learning process starts all over again - from scratch!

Sachin's powerful game lost its way after captaining Indian team.

Had he not been made captain of Indian team, he should have contributed much more.

That explosive style of batting is now missing.

Any bowler before that worried to bowl to him. Now a little worm Mendis is dictating him.

But sure he will change his gear after this much of criticism.

For that makes him to be strong to take the challenge.

Captaining Indian team is all about not listening to Critics, not to hear any thing.

What a maturity from Michael Vaughan's
by Alex Powell on Aug 04, 2008 08:52 PM  | Hide replies

Really admire the gesture from Michael Vaughan. He takes responsibilty for the loss to SA. I don't know when Indian players will learn this. People like Ganguly, got offended when he was asked to sit down for only a test, for the sake of the country. Definately we lack "samaritan" and full of greedy people.
