hail zaheer and sreesanth. great performances. ojha is good addition. wish piyush chawla could be back. he is an exciting bowler. drop ishant for some time as he is burnt out and has lost his zing. zaheer/nehra/sreesanth look like an exciting prospect. BUT I DOUBT SREESANTH'S SKILLS IN ODI WHERE HE CAN LEAK RUNS BIGITME.

Team is selected on performance. It is possible that one state can become so formidable that all the Indian players can be from that state. This kind of narrow minded thinking about statewise quota is not healthy.
In the run-up to the outstanding achivers in the series, rahul Dravid has also shone well scoring an impressive 100 average and overall 2nd in runs scored. Kudos to him. he is not very far away from Sachin on overall runs in tests.

if we include Amithab, they would have been a good pair. IMIGHTYAPE can do wonders too.
Sangakkara & Muralidhran complained that if vthe review system had been in place, the tests would not have been won by India so handily. But recently Tony Crozier pointed out the flaws in the review system.

It seemed a good idea at the time but, like the Federation, daylight savings time and the West Indies Cricket Board website, Test cricket's Umpire Decision Review System - the UDRS, in the modern way of text-speak - simply isn't working in practice.
According to Dave Richardson, the former South African wicketkeeper, now the ICC's cricket operations manager, "the first priority of the system is to eliminate obvious mistakes". For predictable reasons, there have been a number of instances where the exact opposite has been the case. More will inevitably follow.
The latest was on the first day of the second Test between Australia and West Indies in Adelaide on Friday when Asad Rauf, the third umpire tucked away in his special room 100 yards away, adv
Cricket doesn't matter. Only idiots will be proud of this stupid designation. I bet, tomorrow, if India plays Australia, they will lose handidly - on any pitch anywhere. Pakistan, in the meantime making big marks on the world by blowing up mosques and people and hotels, and will remake new pakistan after all the clean up.

These guys(?) like Vaibhav are big hippocrates, and too zealous that they can't impress women. That's why they talk non-sense about those who enjoy women company. Grow up Vaibhav, and think like a man, if you are one.

Congrats to the team as a whole and to Shewag in particular. Here is one player who simply plays and flays all bowlers without a care for records. Most others care also for records.
