pkl. D. Goel,afternoon, 2.40pm,November 9, 2008,Sunday. Whatever eventually happens to the fate of present Indo-Australia Cricket Test Series ,after day and half play,, till sun down on Monday 10th, it is proved more than once that our much hyped batting has its inevitably a fairly recognizable penchant for cracking down at some point as it did , just about half an hour ago. Now we are risking loss of this test Match unless our tail -enders stick it out and do leave enough runs on the board to let Australians stop making the requisite runs tomorrow to win this match and thus draw the series 1-1.If latter happens this will be a great disappointment to cricket mad Indians, and once again reveal our infinite capacity to pull defeat from the jaws of Victory! D. Goel
Dhoni made them go at a pace they would have hated to go at. You can feel the frustration on the Aussies at this question. This will have long term effect on them when they play us. All said and done they will struggle to chase 350 plus score in the last innings. Very sure Dhoni will keep them guessing and wishing.
Yesterday was fascinating day of test cricket for Indian points of view and the reason being India had some specific strategy to go about and Aussis just succumb to it. In the past also we came with strategy but actual exercise of it we never seen. It always look like we were just depend upon the brilliance of few players for things to happen. Finally all I can see is refreshing change in Indian test cricket.
If we win the series against aussies, our critics and media, will say, it is on helpful home wickets
If we do it in perth, then it is because aussies were distracted by sydney criticisms
If we thrash srilanka in one-day series on home and away, then we should say, WE LOST THE TESTS
If we win the CB series, then you will say,WE LOST THE TEST BY 2-1 MARGIN
If aussie beat india in australia, it is because of talent, not due to the pitches to suit their strengths, if india beats aussies in india, it is due to flat wickets
Cynical People, only country where its people never accept country's achievements in any field
Action speaks louder than words.. if a same tactic was employed by ponting and they had gotten the lead, it would have been great thinking.. lets forget it.. it was a strategy.. even Aussies had 7-2 field.. and india scored at more than 5 per over to begin with..
All said and done.. 1-0 or 2-0.. lets win the series.. talks dont win any series.. walk does..

Dhoni Is Doing Very Good Captionship.I Want seen Dhoni Allaways A Caption.Kangroo Are The loser And Your Team Are The Winner.But yersertaday Jason Kreza Has Taken 8 Wicket why? rewards rahulghosh, too allofindia taam
The new look Indian team sans Fab 4 needs to win foreign pitches of New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, England, Sri Lanka and Pakistan (Bangladesh excluded) and West Indies to be called a top notch team. The present team which is playing exceedingly well against the Aussies back home here were soundly thrashed by Sri Lanka recently. So this victory need not be gloated at all

Kumble was a passenger for last few tests hence india was playing with 3 bowlers.with his retirement and dhoni being made captain india can now beat any country on any pitch.Hai kisime dum to taiyar hai hum?
