It is always on the head of Indians to face bad lucks. If Indians were batting first against srilanka or any country, this wouldn't had happened and Indians would have faced any outcomes.

Not only this Navin, our smart asses like Sunil Gavaskar who was so pathetic about the lankans, lamenting all the time "oh god this is a dangerous pitch for the batsmen". Gavaskar has gone soft in his head & needs a thorough check-up, cause of late he has been talking total nonsense. Sri Lankans are "CRY BABIES" and I wonder what they will do against the Aussies who are sure to smash their heads.

Get a tape and watch the match yourself, it was a dangerous pitch. The ball was bouncing awkwardly or staying as low as rolling over the pitch.
Why blame Gawaskar who tried to call spade a spade and brilliantly standing up against Aussie roudiness and behaviour particularly against Indian Players..
The DDCA pitch is in question since IPL days so let's be praticle. Why can't DDCA fix it for a change.

Navin:
Good point. Lankans shouldn't have prepared a bad pitch for Indians. Its purely our bad luck that we allowed the Lankans to prepare such a shameful wicket. :)
If Srilanka chickened out, then I think DDCA is muttoned out as they will hardly be able to host matches in the near future becuase of their irresponsible approach towards an international event....
It is pathetic to see Chetan Chauhan terming that Srilankans chickened out. An incompetent cricketer he was and more incompetent official he is now.The whole world saw what a bad pitch it was. When you do a mistake you should own up...otherwise resign...not foul-mouth others.

Chauhan resigned. Now he can go back to active politics. With the type of commnets he his making he will b a huge success there.

Sri Lankans doctor their own pitches, haven't any matches worth their name abroad. They win matches only on their home ground. Chickens that they are, they can only commit genocide against helpless people by calling it a war, that's all they are meant for. Let the Human Rights group open up the civil war cases in Sri Lanka & the world will see their true cowardly faces.

"I agree this was not ideal for international matches but this was neither unplayable or dangerous. I've played on similar tracks, even on worse. I never realised a match could be called off so easily," Chauhan wondered."

Drax:
Correction. Chauhan said Hurst had "unofficially" mentioned one side didn't want to play. :)
For his "official" statement, visit ICC website:
Emirates Elite Panel Match Referee Alan Hurst today issued the following statement after the fifth and final ODI between India and Sri Lanka at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground in New Delhi was abandoned on Sunday.
The match was called off with Sri Lanka 83-5 in 23.3 overs after electing to bat first. "The decision to abandon the match was taken by myself, in consultation with the on-field umpires Marais Erasmus and Shavir Tarapore, and both captains as it was clear that the pitch had extremely variable bounce and was too dangerous for further play.
"I'd like to commend the on-field umpires and captains for continuing as long as they did in the hope that the pitch may settle down. Unfortunately, this did not happen.
"Before abandoning the match, consideration was given to shifting the match to a secondary pitch. However, it was deemed impractical as the secondary pitch was not adequately prepared."

AP: Do let us know the name of the ground in Delhi. It cannot b Kotla ot JLN, which one is it :)

Yes, very truly said, the match should have been given in favour of the Indian team. Damn the Sri Lankan cowards.

Roy:
Good point. If only Dhoni had insisted on playing, your dream might have come true. :)
But considering that he agreed to get the match called off (perhaps keeping in mind the condition of the pitch and the prospect of facing Malinga) India could not get an easy win. :)
Fortunately the Lankan cowards missed the first match by a whisker, else we would have seen our national heroes returning with another drawn ODI series. :)

Thanks for the info. But, i m aware of it.. Whats the logic behind it. i ahve not understood, one of the few persons here who can understand ur convoluted logic. I admit that if u continue like this then u will soon beat me in the convolutes logic maker race :)
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: RIGHT
by rocky on Dec 29, 2009 08:57 AM
AP: Thanks for letting us know that India lost that one match bcoz of dhoni. good logic. Also, had he not ben captain for the fifth ODI, the result cud hav been different. again ur logic :)
Re: Re: RIGHT
by rocky on Dec 29, 2009 08:31 AM
That way. India wud hav been number one as in India matches, nothing happens to any of the players. C i understood ur logic :)

by rocky on Dec 29, 2009 08:44 AM
AP; First. Thanks for the compliment. Second. Thanks for letting us know that ur logic is also convolute though not as much as mine. But, it is which u hav just admitted :)
I wonder if the learned Chetan Chauhan would have said something similar if India would have been batting.....imagine what Malinga would have done to flat-pitch superstars like Raina and Dhoni....
Re: I wonder.....
by suresh roy on Dec 29, 2009 08:43 AM
Had India batted first our captain M.S.Dhoni would not have chickened out like Sangakara. Cheap Sri Lankans...cowards
SL batter half their overs till tehy realised its not a good wicket? if it wasnt a good wicket they should hv given up by 5 th over itself y so late? they just chickend out to avoid further humiliation.
...for lankans to boost their morale to play in tough condition and not whine about occasional bouncing balls. Needs to be reminded they have more protection than hockey players and some injuries are part of being sportsman....its not for cry babies.

so as per u we can say Almighty and aussies are racist, abusive etcetra etcetra. Almighty, thanks for making AP accept the truth abt Aussies :)
Lankans chickened out...as match refree himself admitted.
nowadays, batsman wants flat bed pitches where bowlers dont get any support. they just want to bang every ball even with their closed eyes, want to score 400 runs without losing any wkt. slowly that has become criteria of calling a pitch as good.
when a bowler gets some kind of help, batsman start crying, commentators start blaming curators, n icc start bashing ind. if batsman cant score runs, they term the pitch as bad. ridiculous. v hv to get out of mentality of unnecessarily guarding the batsman merely coz of too much commercialisation.
doent any bowler desrve any sympathy, cant v hv bowler friendly wkts? its high time, v gv good bowler friendly wkts n start considering them as good wkts.
Re: Chetan Is Right .....
by Against Pseudos on Dec 29, 2009 06:46 AM
Almighty:
There is a difference between "bowler getting help from the pitch" and "pitch behaving erratically where good length balls suddenly rear up"..
A bouncy pitch and / or swinging conditions are bowler friendly, but not deadly. An underprepared pitch where balls might behave randomly is a dangerous and deadly pitch.
The match referee took that into consideration before calling the match off.. If match referee admitted that Lankans chickened out, he wouldn't have called the match off.. :)
