Let all cricket lovers make a resolution. We are not going to react to idiots like this Ravi Babu and we will report every stupiduty like that as abuse. Reacting to these fellows is an " Apatra Daan" per Mahabharata. It means a donation to a non-deserving person. As per Bhagwat Gita, to do an "Apatra Daan" is a crime towards humanity.

You must be from Andhra Pradesh, obviously. There is only one other player from Karnataka besides Kumble. You are a fool yourself for the silly and false comment you have made.

You are an idiot of highest order. Really ashamed to call you a fellow Inidan
in 2001 after the series was 1-1 in india he played a masterly 126 in chennai to win it for india 2-1 in 2004 he made 241* at sydney at saw that series cannot be won by aussies and now again in the big 4 th test he made a hundred..
Anil always wins it for india in matches when Adravid does well. Thats why Dravids average is more than that of Sachin in wiining matches.. How many great 100's of Sachin have gone in vein becoz of this Karnataka biased Anil Kumble..

Ravi the Idiot!
What a great statistics you have come out with. How the hell can you speak on Anil Kumble. He does not need to prove to a fool like you. Shut all your openings.

Mr. Ravi, Probably you are trying to get some attention by writing some rubbish or perhaps understanding the complexities of cricket is too much for you. So stop following cricket and try Kabaddi or gilli danda instead
first 5 batsman scores, say 200 runs but the last 5 batsman also scores around 200 runs. this was the winning formula for ausi n gilchrist was the major contributor to take the tail with him.
RE:ausi innings analysis.

Yes, worst analysis by Ravi Babu. What's your problem? Why this selective hatred for Kumble and Dravid? If they play well it benefits India. Does it not? Drop YOUR regional bias first before you charge Kumble with it.
gilchrist. even his rivals n fans in ind hv respect for him. the exceptional gentleman among the ugly sledgers. his battng was a delight to watch. he used to shoulder all the responsibility to extend the ausi score even when he came in to bat at no. 7 n used to play innings with the help of no. 8, 9 and 10 batsman. great batsman n keeper.
it may lead to downslide for the ausi in future. during 2005 ashes loss by ausi, sourav commented that eng were lucky to win the series coz gilly was nt in good form.
Any sensible person, with sum basic knowledge of Cricket acknowledges the fact that Sachin Tendulkar is a legend, the God of cricket, and it is a priviledge to watch him bat. And that is the reason why in the current Ind-Aus Series, in every match in every stadium, everytime he went to bat or was out, the entire stadium gave him a Standing Ovation. It is sad that there are bunch of losers in India only who instead of feeling proud of Sachin Tendulkar's achievement, try to criticise him with senseless arguments. It is a different matter that they themselves have never achieved anything in life or even walked inside a Cricket Stadium with a bat in hand, but still, donot hesitate to criticise a legend. But, again, not their fault. They are Fools. So, no point in trying to justify to them with facts and figures. U can't win, because they will first drag u down to their own standards, and then beat u with experience. Guess that's why it is never adviced to wrestle with a pig in the mud. U will just dirty ur cloths, whereas the Pig will actually enjoy it.
Last time around in Adelaide, everyone felt that the test match would end in a tame draw after 3 days but 6 wickets by Agarkar and a super innings by Dravid bought the match in India's kitty. It was nice to hear Sehwag saying today that we'd like to push on for a result. Lets hope for the best tomorrow.
The indians were very unlucky today as their strike bowler R.P. Singh is out of the test match after bowling only 4 overs. India played a batsman short to accomodate 5 bowlers. Whether this was a right decision or wrong, we'd know soon as there are chances of India batting tomorrow again. Indians have always been good run getters in the 1st innings but not in the 2nd. Lets see how they'd fare in their 2nd innings. Today Kumble made a mistake by removing himself and immediately bringing on Harbhajan when Ponting came on to bat. Kumble had just sent back Jaques bowling an amazing delivery, which pitched in the rough and nipped back sharply. Jaques went for a slog but ended up giving his wicket. Kumble than immediately turned to Bhajji to bowl to Ponting who hardly bowled well today. Agreed he bowled so well to Ponting in Melbourne and Sydney, but was waywad, offline and bowled too short today. Kumble himself should have continued as then Ponting wouldnt have got time to settle down against his bowling. Additionally, Kumble should have taken the new ball much before when he actually took towards the end of day's play. He tried to take an additional wicket with the old ball which was reverse swinging but this went on for too long. The new ball was taken just 4 overs before Stumps. Pathan and Sharma should have atleast got 5 overs each with the new ball. Lets hope however, India winds up Aussies early on tomorrow and set up a nice total. Last time around in Adelaide, everyone fe
