Hold on Mr foul mouthed Boycott !! Hold on !! Did I say that you played your last test at 52yrs of age? What do you have to say about that grandpa? The fab four are once in a generation players. Would you replace a Sachin Tendulkar with Suresh Raina? Or Dravid with Badrinath? Being young is not the criteria for selection.If that was the criteria then you wont have scored those 8000 runs, out of which 4500 runs came after the age of 35. I think you English people are still jealous with these Indans who have played with your english egos over the past decade starting from Ganguly's debut ton.hahaha frustrated boycott !! keep farting !

Yes, I would replace Tendulkar with Raina and Dravid with Badrinath. What's wrong with that? You are afraid of losing to the aussies? Being young need not be the criteria but being fit is the criteria. Except Laxman - all are struggling with fitness. Have to give chances to fit people and thats how you build a team.

raina will score 0 and badrinath 2 go take your youngistan . there is no such thing youngistan I dont why there is so fuss about these four people after we won 20-20 they would not play for more 10 years . and any ways raina and badrinath are not kids they woul also be in their 30's after a few years. raina has been tried so many times in indian team
No doubt, these old gandpas have no desire to play for their country instead want to secure millions in their pockets through endoresements. Everyone in this country knows and the pity is no one can do anything about it because BCCI is run by corrupt bearuacrats for the money comes first before anything else (even country's success and its future).
Dont expect miracle from any Indian establishments.
Poor and ordinary folks in this country are persuaded to accept defeat in their lives (be it olympics or World Cup) and be proud of it!!!!
So long Sachins, Gavaskars, Dravids, Kumbles, Pawars, Dalmiyas at helm of affairs you cant expect anything but corruption, inefficiency.

relax dude. Who won you a test series against england in england in 2007? Just becoz of a bad performance in one series you are commenting on them. They are in the team becoz they've performed consistently for all these years. give credit where it's due

Its not about bad performance in one series, its about the approach of fab four on the field and off it. They look lost, confused, isolated and not at all in the main stream. Its like you select someone for the sack of it. Does not seem to have any synergy nor any role been given to Fab four. Just imagine, the worst performer for last 1 year, KUMBLE is a captin, the reason, we all know.
Moreover, if you did a good job in your company in 2007, the same company will kick you out in your butt, if you do not perform in 2008. Its strange life is tough for an average INDIAN, but not foe celebraties including cricketers due to our blind support to these non-performers.

u mean to say they are not media savvy like the youngistan buffonistan crowd...have u heard the statement "empty vessels make more noise".
He should look at his own team and then talk about the indian team. I'am sure india are going to whimp then in the test series coming up. The four may be over hill but the comment made by boycott that they are playing for ads is just pathetic. Mr boycott remember 2007 india beat england in england, now sa beat england in england in tests, so they have a major problem with their team, just becoz they won 5-0 in odi does'nt make them the gr8test team on earth. KP is going to find out what captaincy is all about when he comes to india. How mean of boycott to say such a foolish thing? It's pretty evident that he wants cheap publicity.

try to undrstand what boycott wants to say...you are just playing the blame game.. dude this way none of the great wi player of past can put their thoughts..(just coz present day team is not playing well).. Also he clearly said "weaker england"... and boss what he is saying is pretty clear..India is not as strong as it used to be when these playrs were at their peak..
Most of us remember Boycott was given extended lease at the crease by the England team just to pass the Sunny's milestone of most runs in test cricket(at that time). He went golfing latter. Heh! Heh!!

do you know that england dropped, yes dropped immediatly after he scored a triple century against India because he did not score fast enough! Will our selectors have the guts to do so. never otherwise Gavaskar would never have played ODI after his famous 34 runs in 60 overs.

With the India-Australia cricket series just two weeks away, Dish TV is planning to add Neo Sports bouquet of channels to its platform. The move is aimed at attracting more subscribers, which the Essel group’s direct to home (DTH) service provider lost to prime competitor Tata Sky.

It is something a cricket analyst with a decent cricketing common sense can see, if he not blind by his thinking, which most of the blind indian cricket lovers are.
Its absolute truth probably, I will refrain Sachin from that list and would like to see how he fares this year. Sachin has a GOD status in INDIA but of and on he is more fit in advertisment assignments than on cricket field.
NO Harm in expressing views and I really despite hating Boycott for his typcial british attitude, will support his observations, which are clearly worth debate.
its true but you can be in the news if you speak anything against SACHIN thats it.. i am not suprised boycot soing this... manjerakar did this some time back ... and there are more there in the crowd to do this... JUST PLAY SACHIN IAM THERE WITH YOU ....
