Australian defeat and Indian team
by Raghavan on Oct 29, 2008 08:05 AM

We should not jump to conclusion about team Australia. They are fighters. No doubt in the second test they lost very badly and India did well.
Mishra came in as replacement for Kumble. He did well taking 5 wickets in the first innings. But, we should not jump to some conclusion on his class or comparison with Kumble too soon. Remeber the same happened when people spoiled Maninder and SIvaramakrishnan, who were both talented and did well in thier first few tests but with the media and fans hypes, they were lost in the wind.

it is agni pariksha of anil kumbale & the lucky 10 indians at Delhi GOD BLESS INDIAN TEAM
by pravin sarode on Oct 29, 2008 05:47 AM

1->indian bowlers are having very less stamina & fielders drop catches as their birth right
2->every body wants to field in sleep so he has to move very less & can relax & drop catches
3->team is full of revalri e. g. rahul dravid declaration when sachin was 194 not out in pakistan
4->indian opners r working like government officer 11 to 5 so maximum score 459 in year2K8 why?
5->umpires are biased ricky pointing was LBW on score of 39 when Kumbale shouted loud appeals ?
6->there is lack of team spirit and captain is not the best form of batting, bowling, fielding
7->selectors deleberately keep young consistent successful players away from main 11 squad?
8->mathew hayden lughfted a safe catch in no man zone & no fielder even bothered to run to get
9->450 overs plus 20 mandatory overs needs long stamina to bowl as well as to bat like Gavskar
10->We all indians pray GOD GANESHA for keeping away all negative things be positive play well
11->the name DELHI REMINDS me of Indian Naval Ship INS DELHI which has slogan VICTORY ALWAYS
SARVATO JAIM ICHCHA MI (LET US WISH VICTORY ALWAYS) INS DELHI is SIMPLY THE BEST WARSHIP
INDIA HAD MAHARAJA RANJIT SINGH RANJI, GAVASKAR, VISHWANATH who were master of square region
it is said by british journalists that RANJIT used to find gap even after 6 slips & 2 gullies
were placed to stop the Maharaja of square cut so sachin, rahul, dada, laxman can review skill? BE READY FOR 369 TYPE KNOCK BY AUSSIES JUST AS WC2K3 @ johnsberg

SA chased 438 against Aussies

Author has forgotten the most important final Aussies lost under the Ponting captaincy, i think this was the worst nightmare for all of the Aussies. Nobody expected SA to win this match. But they did it in style.

indian chase only urged DADA to win toss but give batting to pointing in world cup 2003 at johnsberg international gambling hub?
dada has made life time blunder by winning toss & fielding first on 23-3-2003
so ye dada hai akkal ka aadhaa. i advice dada to stop fooling around & retire immediately now
he does not deserve to play even bangalore test also instead s badrinath will score better
dada will always be rememberred for his chutyagiri of winning the toss & fielding first in
the final of world cup on 23 march 2003 at johnsberg. the same abusement applies to sachin too
even iron man of india sardar wallabhbhai patel said i am iron man but iron got some rust so
these fab 5 must respect the law of nature that young replace old & retire after each test so
that aussi series will be end of cricketing carreer for fab 5 and new generation will be free
to do naked dance as per my own worst case analysis & dhoni's statements but dada do not play
any test retire immediately on viewing this comments. dada u will not die hungry if not
selected; so give some employement to young genious players who really deserve to play tests
like GAUTAM GAMBHIR was unsung hero of tour of lanka as well as mohali mishra is unsung hero of mohali too it is true said LADE SIPAHI NAM SARDAR KA. GautamGambhir, AmitMishra did their maximum but are unsung hero on the contrary LAXMAN, DRAVID fail to cross nerves 90 so also sachinSachin wicket is like fall of SADASHIV RAO
BHAU PESHAVA in thebattle

Lara, dravid, sachin and ponting
by varun on Oct 29, 2008 02:28 AM  | Hide replies

ponting is a superb player, But to say that he has won more matches than sachin is unfair on sachin's part. Ponting has won more matches becoz he happens to play in a team that has won more matches than india, ponting has played in a team which consists of 2 bowlers who have taken more than 500 wickets, 3 bowlers who have taken more than 250 wickets, whereas tendulkar had only kumble, harbhajan and srinath in his team.Kumble was the only match-winning bowler india had and whenever he bowled well india won and that was mostly in india. Throught the 90's until very recently india did'nt have a genuine fast bowler who could win a match on his own. The real match-winning capabilities of ponting will be tested now as he plays with a depleted bowling attack much like sachin has been playing for all these years. He got a 100 in the first test but australia did'nt win the match, why? becoz their bowling attack was not good enough to take 20 opposition wickets, sachin has been facing a similar kind of problem all his career, so going by the first test's performance of ponting which did'nt yield australia a victory can we say that ponting is not a match-winner, as we so often do in the case of tendulkar. This applies for lara as-well who played in a much weaker side compared to sachin and ponting yet always took the fight to the opposition, so he qualifies as the best test batsmen of this generation followed by dravid, sachin and ponting.

so before leaving for LEAVING ALL FAB 4 to
delhi get revision of basic crickets as
beginners do in cricket academy it will
be like RE DO FROM START in computers.
forget past, by gone is by gone & play
for strong dream of india @indCAPITALdelhi
CHODO KAL KI BATE KAL KI BAT PURANI NAYE
DAUR ME LIKHENGE NAYI KAHANI HUM SAB
HINDUSTANI is the theam of today please
music is power dhoni listen to music to
reduce tension after he wakes up so all
FAB 4 ALSO be BINDHAST watch BINDHAST
channel-> Movies like u got e-mail njoy
if seperate servey is conducted then
millions of viewes switch off TV when
sehwag, sachin get out so ATALJI told
sachin to save his wicket like SUNILG
why IrfanAjit duo who won match r out of squad is there any corruption in selection2find? let every lucky player ask himself
why the hell i am selected in team
like famous hindu KO AHAM who am i?
sachin because of few more records
or it is god GANESHA wish to play
sachin for better indian cricket
sachin is to play only square cuts
that too along side carpet only i
promise it will produce mirracle
anil kumbale is also gr8 player
who is like MAN IN IRON MASK?
I feel so sorry when i watch
replay of bangalore test when
Pointing was clear cut L B W
but biased umpires gave not out
so i request BCCI to have main
frame computers to correct errors
i wonder why it happens to anilji
his sober nature allows all to
sit on his head & dance naked
dhoni also takes anil granted
so also FAB4

OWN standards
by RS on Oct 29, 2008 01:01 AM

Ponting might consider himself a failure according to his OWN HIGH standards, but still it is much better than our Fab Fours failure to win ONE world cup for India.

why is there no mention of World cups of Australia under Ponting. Remember our Fab Four don't have 1 world cup to their credit.
