Inspite of a tactical blunder by Dhoni, India may prevail
by Nikhil Shah on Dec 05, 2009 10:10 PM

The introduction of spinners at the end of day 3 to bowl the 3 overs needs serious introspection. I mean, if you are that desperate to win then why not just take 4 spinners and prepare an underprepared pitch? Dhoni should have added 20-30 overs in the last stages, declared at stumps and started fresh with the seamers the next morning with the new ball. The problem with introducing spin early and not letting the seamers to settle down with a good spell or even an extended spell has been around for a while. Using the seamers to just wear the shine out of the ball is an old strategy which should have been abandoned. The idea has always been to give the seamers a chance with the new ball for overseas performance. Even in the last tour of NZ Dhoni has failed to an early declaration and did not enforce a win. India's strategy of a heavy batting lineup and a strong spin attack has to change for a better overseas performance. Can Sehwag score a triple hundred all the time? This batting oriented strategy has really been a problem over the years when our bowling attack never gets tested.

Regional languages and their players

Political correctness doesn't mean that inferior languages, which are worse off than dialects of Hindi, be compared to Hindi. Most of the regional languages of India don't have any literature and have poor scripts.
Similarly, players from one regional language (marathi) have been dominating cricket for no reason. They (marathi matthus) are in the cricket team because of connections only. Henceforth, Hindi will dominate India, and Hindi players will dominate Indian cricket team. Those who don't like it, are free to form their own little independent country. We will be happy if they seceded from India.

How about providing hindi speaking people with employment IN HINDI LAND! How about educating your kids. How about getting hindi states out of utter hopelessness and poverty. Forget about Hindi will dominate India. how about Hindi speaking regions not continuing to embarass India by being the most backward region on PLANET EARTH (yes, worse than sub-saharan AFRICA).

you guys are the worst in the world, but are the best when it comes to boasting!!! LOL.

What Hindi r u shouting abt? Your Hindi is being rapidly swallowed by urdu. Instead of being ashamed abt it u r insulting languages of others linguistic communities. Look at any Hindi tv channel - news or entertainment - or Hindi movie, and u will find that most of the words being spoken are urdu. First safeguard your Hindi before trying to push it into the throats of Tamil and other Indians.

Hindi, as per the Indian constitution, is NOT the national language. No language is proclaimed National Language as per the constitution (Article VIII). Hindi is just another official language, as is English, and all other regional languages.
