All saggitarians are having bad time
by on on Jan 10, 2008 02:52 PM  | Hide replies

according to astrology, all saggitarians are having bad time.

1. see 20-20 wc. Flintoff (born Dec 6 1977) was humiliated after his verbal onslaught with Yuvraj. He is injured and out of the team now.

2. Ajit Agarkar (botn Dec 4 1977) who was the best oneday bowler in last 2 years for india dropped after 20-20 and is now languishing in domestics.

3. Abdul Razaaq(born Dec 2 1977) was dropped by Pakistan even after being their critical player in last 3 years and is now busy filing petetion against PCB who barred him from playing mainstream cricket after taking part in ICL.

4. Mohd. kaif (born Dec 1) even after doing well in onedayers in 2006 is out of the team for good or it seems like.

5. Yuvraj (born Dec 12 2007) being a hero of onedayers and 20-20s is now humiliated in test series against Aus. He has already made 2 ducks in the series and doubts abt his test match skills are almost confirmed now among Indians.

6. Last but not the least, Ponting(born Dec 16) has been humiliated after Sydeny etst even after getting Aus their 16th consecutive test victory. Doubts are being raised abt whethe he is fit to captain Aus.

ALl saggitarians are passing thru a bad time. I think after a few months, they will make a comeback as astrology always helps one bounce back after learning from their mistakes. Good times will come again!

I watched the entire match and I feel the adverse reaction of both the Australian and Indian people and the media to the Australian team's behavior is justified. It was clear to see that Ricky Ponting wanted to equal Steve Waugh's record at all cost. Each and every incident which has become a controversy from this test match shows to what levels Ponting and his men stooped to. They may try to justify their reactions and mentioning playing it the right way, but if you were a spectator who watched their behavior on field and the arrogance to intimidate the umpire subtely to give decisions in their favour during the Sydney test will definitely have a different view of the team. Being a big supporter of the Australian team, I do have to admit I am ashamed of the way they went about the game with utter disrespect for fair play and insult to the opposition. They have undone all the good of their past with this performance. It will be very hard for me to support this team again unless they mend their ways. Ponting may claim he has equalled Waugh and may brag about it, but the truth is all to see. He did not win it the way the people of Australia would have wanted so that they could be proud and recognize it as a great accomplishment. Even recognizing it brings a bad taste to it. The arrogance of Ponting to appeal for a catch that he grounded and Stuart Clarke to claim to take a catch that he grassed was there for all to see. Anybody who played cricket will know immediat

It is great to learn the vocabulary of monkey lineage - orangutan, gorilla, ape, king-kong, chimpanzee, hanuman, kapish.... Will even the other Indian mythological names amount to racial abuse - Sugriv, Bali, Nal...

Ponting has proved to be a bad leader. He has led the team to false victory mingled with deceit and arrogance. Though able to equal Steve Vaugh's record (may be he would surpass it in the next test), he has no place to hide his shame.

This is a world of sports. Those trying to make cricket a war game and plotting to win at any cost should be kicked out.

Financial loss notwithstandg, India should refuse to play any further match with Austrailia.

Ponting should ask for annulment of the test which the umpires and his team won by cheating or resign as a captain as his conduct is disgusting .

RE:Actually Symmo Felt too Bad because

Hey, you are bang on target. In fact, the Indian Team should have all gone into the field, asked for all the micropohones to be switched on and in chorus, they should have told them and the two blind, incompetent umpires on the field, two others in the room and the refree that they were all of the same kind and asked for 6 months expulsion!!!!!

RE:Indian team always looking for hype

At least Mungeri Lal could dream unlike you who appears to be incapable of doing just that. Comprehending the importance of dreaming is beyond you.

The world knows and so should you that the crooks stoop to any level to record 'win' at any cost. But, that's the short-sightedness that they are capable of and alas you and that hurts for being an Indian, if you are one, you would hav in your genes to be fair unlike the Aussies who are cheats.

Cheats - did I say of the Aussies Team? Well, didn't find anything simpler and more appropriate.

Whether Indian Team should compete with the likes of the Timbaktoo or not, the fact remains that your mighty Aussie Team did lose a match to the lowly Bangladesh. Or was it a match fixed by them and their Board to fill in their ever depleting coffers!!!

As for the Sydney Test, the Aussie Team fixed the ICC Umpires who either got paid for their extended holidays in that country or both of them were deaf and blind. Comments on their competence will be a waste of everyone's time.

Indian board BCCI is always supporting Pakistan board for their personal gain,even at the cost of Indian team.
This has allowed two Pakistani umpires in elite panel of ICC but not a single Indian umpire in ICC elite panel despite all Indian support.
BCCI is full of corrupt ,selfish businesman & politicians who have no knowledge of cricket like Niranjan Shah, Lait Modi who think BCCI as their own company doing business and make foul money and share the loot with ICC.
Pakke Gaddar hain .. yeh log..
as bad or may be worse than Jehadi terrorists..
