Ganguly was the biggest politician during his days as captain. he used to keep people who praised him and did as he said and made sure people he didnt like were kept out of the team. i accept he was a captain who brought the fighting spirit in the Indian team and India cricket saw some bright moments in his tenure, but he has no business spoiling the carreers of some deserving cricketers by keeping them out of the team jus bcoz he didnt like them.

i agree with TJ totally...who actually are these moderators? I think they might be the editors from the female fashion section with a few hours on their hands. I'd prefer Steve Bucknor to at as moderator over the current bunch Rediff is using....on second thoughts, no I wouldn't.
Indian youngsters are getting into form, they will show a great character than the old gangulys, dravids and laxmans. India is goin to win tommorows match.

Got to disagree with you there, my friend. I think Australia will win convincingly, but India should make it to the final.

I'm not worried by people who support their own team, we all want our team to win. The racism here is a little annoying and small minded- but it's been a fairly rancorous series, so I suppose that happens. Hope it's a good match, and good fun. Actually, I'm a little jealous of a lot of the people on this forum, because I only get to watch the text on cricinfo as I'm living in a country that follows baseball for some unfathomable reason. So I don't even get to see the best team in the world play live.

Hey TJ/Mike and my dearest asshis: Take some real big pinches (nay fistful) of salt.. Sunday's match proved something else altogether, didn't it?.. :-) I mean, the world champs not even standing for 50 overs was a shocker enough, but the famed pace attack not being able to kill the "weak" Indians when they were 5 down?.. totally unbelievable.. :-) But who cares? I'm sure of your reaction.. wait till the next match, the VB series will be won by the Aussies.. etc. etc. etc.. All right, I hear you even before you speak. And to that I say, just wait, watch the matches as they are played, and enjoy!!.. :-)
How come Aussies wear different colors ( Yellow, black, dark green) for their ODI , where as Indians are stuck with light blue. I want to see them wearing different colors too for a change.
RE:Aussie Wardrobe is better
by Sumit on Feb 09, 2008 11:15 AM
no need of any change.. It is a great color... India in sky blue.. mmm yummi...it is fantastic.
Thye way they placed It certainly looks like The Sri Lankans Threw the Match Away. The ICC mUST INVESTIGATE THE MATTER and If Found Guilty Sri Lanka should be banned from Playing any international Matches For 3 Yrs. G.Raghavan

Yeah TJ.. it's really a shame, that your decent comments get reported, whilst this idiot asshis's verbal diarrhoea simply goes unnoticed. Totally unfair, I say.. :-) And I hope you didn't take up the idiot's invitation to go over, and experience the humiliation of seeing Aussies bowled out within 45 overs.. :-) asshis never learns.. :-)

You will never learn Ashish. I remember you predicting 4-0 thrashing for India in the test series three months back. What happened? After a lot of cheating Australia managed to scrap thro with 2 - 1...
RE:the aussies
by ashish on Feb 08, 2008 08:25 PM
jolly iv been predictin an aussie win since wc 2003 then the wc 2007 then the future cup and all i hear is aussies r sledgers cheats ,but the mighty aussies keep winnin why ? cause they have talent they use to win and play to win while u losers only look for excuses cause they give india no chance to come near em any ways and btw no one cheated its just tat indians are fed up of losing so excuses and more
RE:the aussies
by rajanikanth nayak on Feb 08, 2008 08:38 PM
All i can say is that i hope the team puts up a good show or all the gangulyophiles will start talking again. After the match against lanka most of them have kept their mouth shut. But a bad performance on sunday will get them talking again.
RE:RE:the aussies
by Indian on Feb 09, 2008 02:00 AM
Hi asshis: Couldn't answer jolly eh? what happened to 4-0 "thrashin"? and especially what happened at perth? no chin music? your chin musician tait, was mentally disintegrated by the indians.. too bad for him. There is a difference between winning and thrashin' The way you change predictions (after the match),even we can say .. we always say India plays good cricket.. when did we say we are going to win? especially win at all cost? :-) Anyway, I have zero faith in your prediction.. as you are not at all qualified (got your crystal ball with you?..) so I will better wait till sunday and enjoy the match. C'ya

by Rohit Dangayach on Feb 08, 2008 07:46 PM
i dont think so because they are not adept with the ausey condeistion yet thats why they coudnt win this game .you can not blame jayawardne for this.
They had 10 players and one monkey. a monkey is definately more athletic and can do better feilding than the common man! Does ICC have a policy against animal cruelty or exploitation

Hey Mike Since when did Symonds (read the name of the poster) became one of the Indian "Team"? :-) :-) :-) Symonds and Mike tango.. true to their nature, the likes of Mike drag BCCI into it.. and we all have a laugh..
